Count Your Many Blessings...

So I found out some bad news today...to make a long story short...a few months ago I had a pap smear come back positive, so I went back to get some PAINFUL testing done...my doctor called me today and told me that whatever I have is pre-cancerous(for cervical cancer). And it just so happened that both times I received this bad news, it was RIGHT before my accounting exams! Now I have to go get another painful precedure done, but this time it will be worse and it will take me a month to recover(so my doctor says)...so I have been very bitter at the world about this whole situation recently...but I got to thinking and I have to actually be grateful...for the great technology we have these days that can catch this sort of thing before it actually becomes cancerous, that the condition I have will not affect my having kids in the future, and that I have a great family and husband that supports me. So today I am thankful for all my many blessings...this situation could have been so much worse and I am so grateful to my Saviour that it is not! I know that the Lord will not give me any trial that I cannot overcome.

“My son [or daughter], … all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.” (D&C 122:7.)

I'm sorry for all the crap you are having to go through! I used to think getting pregnant and all that stuff was an easy thing, but it seems like everyone around me lately is going through rough "women" problems! But I have faith that you will do great on your exams!
