Skin Cancer

I'm not one for sharing pictures of myself.  I don't like taking selfies unless it's with a Snapchat filter.  I certainly do not like taking a picture of myself when there is no makeup to cover the blemishes and a bandage covering a swollen cheek and a stitched cut.  But there it is.  Lovely, right?

About a year ago I developed this ugly thing on my face that I thought was a pimple but it never went away and any pimple cream I used just made it worse.  Months went by and this thing didn't disappear.  I realized it was more than just a pimple but being the kind of person that I am I was in no rush to see a doctor.  It took having to see the doctor for a UTI to say, "hey, can you look at this?"  She looked at it and her eyes grew bigger as she said, "That looks like skin cancer.  You need to have that checked right away.  I will refer you to a dermatologist."

Today I took one of the few sick days I have and went to the dermatologist.  I had hoped that he would remove this spot completely but instead he decided to chop off a piece and have it sent in for a biopsy.  I will find out the results next Thursday and have the rest removed as well.  I also have a spot on my eyelid and he's concerned about that one.  I'm nervous about it but leaving this all in God's hands.  

I'm also leaving today's election day results in the hands of God as well.  I am certainly hoping it goes the way I wish but I pray about it being what's in God's Will.  God knows what will happen tomorrow and what will happen 100 years from now.  He already has it all planned out.  He has my life planned out and he has the fate of the country planned out.
