I just wanted to post a praise report in that relates to the post I wrote on July 3rd regarding my blood test that resulted in high cholesterol. I must admit that for the past 2+ months, I have done nothing to help lower my cholesterol (no, I am not proud of this). I have still continued to eat huge amounts of pizza, chocolate, and every other thing that people with high cholesterol are not supposed to eat. The thought of going on another daily medication besides "Triniti's sibling preventer" (also known in the medical world as the birth control pill) did not make me delighted, however, as I just stated, I was doing nothing to prevent going down that road.
I had more blood drawn last Saturday to re-test my cholesterol. All I could think within the 7 seconds of sitting there while the nurse was drawing my blood was, "Well, I have done nothing these past 8 weeks to lower my cholesterol...I guess I sort of deserve to have to go on medication." Where was my faith, right?? But I also didn't think it was fair to expect God to equalize my cholesterol when I was not doing my part to help. So I felt I deserved the worst.
I remeber being told throughout my 9-month pregnancy that "no news is good news," and as the days kept passing this past week with no word on my test results, I was trying not to get too excited about the possibility that my cholesterol could have, in fact, lowered itself. I couldn't stand the unknown anymore yesterday, so I gave the results nurse a call on my way home from work. She told me some of the most wonderful words..."Your test result is normal." PRAISE GOD!!! I have no idea how in the world my cholesterol lowered...it is truly a miracle! Thanks be to God...HE is the miracle!
