Do Not Worry?

My name is Charlie, and I'm a compulsive overeater.

::Hi, Charlie!::

I don't have much time to write tonight. I'm so tired, and I have to be up early for church tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is my twins' birthday, and we went to an amusement park all day today. I'm exhausted.

But I just want to say that I'm frightened. Mrs. Charlie has been experiencing a lot of pain, and she has been to several doctors and had several tests. Finally an ultrasound showed a very large ovarian cyst. Her doctor used the term "worrisome" several times and talked about the likelihood of having to remove her entire ovary. He "penciled in" a date for surgery... in less than two weeks. He took a vial of blood and is running the CA-125 cancer screening test.

I know the screening is standard. I know. but he also was pretty clear that he was concerned and that he wanted to act quickly. And I'm scared. And so is she. And we won't know anything until Wednesday. And that's a long time.

Funny. The text for tomorrow's sermon is Matthew 6:25-34. Do not worry. Oh God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...

If you're a praying person, would you please pray for her tonight? Thanks. I'll keep you posted.

Praying for you and Mrs. Charlie. It took doctors about a month to figure out I had a large ovarian cyst. While scary, the test is pretty routine.

Telecommuting is one road worth exploring when you need to set aside cash. The expense of going to work can be costly. A few laborers spend half of their checks between gas, suppers and different costs.

Additionally, the hues ought to be anything but difficult to see for an all-encompassing timeframe, without causing eye strain. The enhanced visualization ought to mirror the environment you are making with the composed expressions of your posts.
