This morning I got the scare of my life. When Matthew first woke up, he ran to me. When I picked him up to hug and kiss him I noticed a large mass in his neck. Of course this freaked me out. My wonderful husband got him breakfast and then we talked about taking him to the doctor. So I got in the shower and started praying. I was literally scared to death, but I knew that I needed to trust the Lord. As I prayed I got this overwhelming sense of peace. It's like somehow I just knew it was going to be ok. My first reaction was to panic (I am a mom!), but I knew the enemy would love to get me all wound up and take my focus off of God. So, I prayed fervantly during my shower and all morning as i was getting ready and getting Matthew ready to go. The Lord gave me a great sense of peace. We went to the doctor and get this - It was a swollen lymph node! He has been sick with a cold the past week and the doctor said the lymph node was swollen because it was doing its job. He said this was a sign of health and not disease. Now as a nurse maybe I should have known that, but this has not been here before so of course it was abnormal to me. Anyway, I am thrilled that my little man is a-ok and I have spent the rest of the day praising and thanking God that really nothing was wrong when I know it could have been so much worse. God is good!
