What a day!

May 17^th

For some reason, I needed someone. I asked the same friend out for lunch. She said her money was funny and couldn’t make it. I didn’t like that one bit. So we met up at the elevator and I offered to pay for lunch if she just went with me. We had lunch at Unforked. And was having a good time, and then I received the call that would change my life. Right after we were comfortable at the table, my phone rang.  It was my doctor. (I truly have the utmost respect for this guy) He explained that there was a problem with the blood that was drawn on my last visit. He told me that my white blood cell count was high.  At the time, I didn’t know what that meant. So I asked more.. “Ok, so what does that mean? Why are you telling me this? He says” Donita, the worst case scenario is Leukemia.” WHAT?? I have cancer!! Did you call the wrong person? Not me! Did you check this twice before you called me? Those were all the things going on in my mind. I sat there and cried! I needed her to be there. But more I knew that I needed Jesus more than ever. She started praying, rebuking Satan, and gave me comforting words. Nothing helped. Once I returned to work, I had to call my husband. How would he take this? It was like he already knew. God had prepared him to comfort me. He said all the right things. I had to leave work and didn’t return for a few days. The boys were in summer camp and Theo was gone to work, I couldn’t stay in this house and have a pity party. So I return back to work, I needed something to keep my mind focused. And plus I like my job.
