I Will Exalt You

Today has been a difficult day. My 36 year old daughter found out she has breast cancer. She went for her routine yearly female checkup last Thursday. She had noticed the lump for a couple of months but knew she was going to the doctor anyway. They did a mammogram, then sent her for an ultrasound, then sent her for a needle biopsy. She just got the results this afternoon at her appointment. She will have more tests next week: chest x-ray, MRI, bone scan, nuclear medicine for her heart (MUGA) to see if it's strong enough for her to have chemo, and more blood work. We are devastated but walking in the peace of God that he has showered over us. I know this is totally treatable. The hard part is doing what needs to be done while she still has children to raise. When I got in the car last Friday morning, I had a CD in the player that I had already been listening to. This was the song that came on immediately, and I've been listening to it over and over:

I Will Exalt You

(Brooke Ligertwood)

I will exalt You,

I will exalt You,

I will exalt You,

You are my God.

My hiding place, my safe refuge,

My treasure, Lord, You are;

My friend and King

Anointed One, most holy.

Because You're with me,

Because You're with me,

Because You're with me,

I will not fear.

My hiding place, my safe refuge,

My treasure, Lord, You are;

My friend and King,

Anointed One, most holy.

I will exalt You,

I will exalt You,

I will exalt You,

You are my God.
