More Than Coincidence

'God-signs' are appearing everywhere in the most recent path I have been chosen to travel. Receiving the news that a mastectomy is the recommended solution to the cancer in my left breast (henceforth referred to as LB), left me feeling shocked, numb, and overwhelmed. Had a lot of information thrown our way. But, as I was reading/journaling/praying this morning, it occurred to me that God is right where He's always been and I have a hunch I'm gonna see more of these 'MORE THAN COINCIDENCE' things happen in my life. Hence, I blog, maybe to encourage you but to help me when I tend to flounder in feelings of fear.

IT IS MORE THAN COINCIDENCE...

*That several years ago God prompted my husband to send a gift card to his parent's primary care physician as a gesture of appreciation for the care and concern she gives them.

*That this SAME doctor, upon learning that we were moving back to the area, asked me to send her my resume STAT, leading to my hiring as a Patient Service Rep for the Cleveland Clinic

*That we have wonderful health insurance and that the week prior to my diagnosis, I completed my 90-days and am an 'official' employee

*That I was placed in the Dermatology & Plastic Surgery Departments when I was first hired by the Clinic and worked there for about 5 weeks before being transferred to ENT

*That on Tuesday 2.14.2012, after learning I'd need a mastectomy, Dr Ray Isakov 'just happened' to be at our facility and had an opening in his schedule to meet and talk with us about reconstruction (he's only there 1.5 days a week & it just so happened...)

*That my surgery date is 3.19.2012, which means I will be able to attend the MVNU Women's Auxiliary Spring Conference the weekend before (which is kinda important to me since I'm the president of the organization)!

*That at work last Thursday, as I was registering a patient, I complimented her on her hair cut and color and told her how cute she looked.  She smiled and informed me it was a WIG and she's a cancer patient!  We briefly swapped stories and she gave me the name of her wig place!  Coincidence...I say NAY NAY!  :)

STAY TUNED...I'M SURE THERE'S MORE TO COME
