Those darn dermatologists...

So..to anyone who I haven't told already (in asking for prayer), I went to the dermatologist today to get some medicine for my acne, and so that he could check out two moles that have been on me since forever. Well, those were fine; but he did find another one on my back that looks suspicious.

He took a biopsy on it and sent it in. We should hear back from it at the latest on Tuesday. It could be just a regular mole, or cancerous. I thought I'd just kind of let it float to the back of my head this weekend, but with Relay for Life and all, that may be hard.

Please pray that I would be OK with the results, no matter what they may be. Yes, I'm scared out of my mind (with all the horrible cases of melanoma that people close to me have had lately), but I know that chances are extremely low that I have that. More importantly, however, I know my God is faithful. Life hasn't been so easy over the past year or so, but God has been so good, and so much growth has come from those not so easy times. He has the whole world in His hands, and since I'm part of the world...well I just know that I'm the best place I could be.

On a side note, could you pray that the pain may let up soon? It didn't hurt too much when he took it out, but that lovely numbing shot is quickly wearing off.

Thank you for all your prayers. :) Our God is an awesome God!
