Frustration.

Today Steph had an appointment with the gynecological oncologist. After that she was scheduled for an ultrasound. However, when she met with the doctor he was very frustrated that they scheduled her appointments the way they did. The reason she was meeting with him was to discuss the results of the ultrasound...which was difficult because it had not taken place yet. He apologized and sent her to the office with a note stating that she MUST have this ultrasound TODAY. Off they went. They told the gentleman the situation and he told them to have a seat. They waited for an hour and noticed that everyone was packing up and turning lights off as they sat in the EMPTY waiting room. Steph went to the desk and asked what the hold up was. Long story short...they were overlooked. SO now, she has to be there at 7:30 in the morning to receive an ultrasound that was supposed to have taken place TODAY and been discussed TODAY. Basically a whole day was wasted in waiting rooms. Just what every cancer patient loves to do. As if she doesn't spend enough in waiting rooms. You would think a hospital dedicated to cancer patients would have these things ironed out. Needless to say, my mom and Steph were very frustrated. I will know more tomorrow and promise to update in a more timely manner. Until then...keep praying!

Most of the time we think our agendas God will make happen just as we see it. But He said is ways are not our ways. In Hebrews 13:2 "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Meaning God created us, the universe, and all that is in it. Maybe He wants Steph to be a blessing today at the ultrasound. Maybe just an encouraging smile to patient, nurse, or front desk persons. Maybe there is someone there that is going to be a blessing to Steph and Cheryl that was not there yesterday. Father, in the name of Jesus show Steph and Cheryl way that had to come back today. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
