I get my usual yearly mammograms for the past 10 years. But never has a Doctor came in to speak my name, in the dressing room, only the Tech’s. I waited intently, and then I heard her speak my name.
This was my first call back to ‘re-take’ and examine my left breast. I was sickened with fear when I got the call, the day prior, but I persevered my fear by the faith which I was trained to have, yet, this ‘call back’ caused me to almost doubt my positive nature of faith. WE are still a mortal body even though we live by faith—“news” of any sort from a Doctor is always hesitancy in your soul. But we must live by faith. Believe for the best.
I noticed two things about my Doctor, immediately. She had on RED and she was wearing two “Lady Bug” Pins on her fine linen jacket.
I recall a lady bug represented “Good luck” and for me at that very moment she in fact brought to me, good words. Was it luck? I think it was an answer to prayer!
Though my sweet little 5 ft. something, 69 year old Doctor, came with good news, I however fell on her with a hug as I shed many tears of joy when I heard her good report!
She encouraged me with the wisdom about ‘boobs’—She told me about the density of some boobs, even if they are small or large, she described them as the ‘busy’ ones and the not so dense, were considered not so busy ones. Strange I know, but this was her sentiments, not mine.
She put mine in the ‘busy’ boobs category, which was why I was there for the return photo shots! They didn’t get a clear picture. (It’s not a good sign when they see too much density in the photo, they want to see LIGHT.) I thought that was pretty powerful…once again, Light is a good thing! Light is good!
I was secretly laughing as she told me she was young with boobs that were ‘busy’. She said that her breast being dense as they were, she could have had horses running through them and she would have never known it. Again, strange words, but my eyes kept falling to her “Lady Bugs” and I was tickled and content, so I didn’t care if she told me Elephants were running through her boobs! I only wanted good news!
After consoling my weary soul and taking the time to talk to me right in the dressing room where she pulled the curtain, I was relieved with her words of humanitarian compassion. I am sure other women sitting in the unusual setting for consolation were getting the education because of my fatigued mind. They too found her words, like I did, soothing!
I believe God sent the Two Lady bugs to remind me of how precious and yet how comical life can be in such a serious situation. GOD HAS EVERYTHING IN HIS CONTROL, yet we panic in the time of crisis and suddenly He brings two lady bugs!
Was it good luck…..I don’t really think so, but God knows exactly what will encourage your faith when you feel fear? Trust that He will always bring you the smile that you need, right when you need it.
I am cancer free.
I get my regular breast Exams!
I encourage you to do the same.
“Good luck!”
