Your words are so powerful because I too grew up in a religious house and have always had God in my life, but selfishly, I invited Him in, in a more intense and self-fulfilling way when I got the cyst. But He is the one who helped me through it all. I too read more on Job when going through my ordeal, that is funny..,I guess a lot of people draw strength from his story in their times of need. I'm glad you have something to lean on, like your faith, and I think it is important to do that. I also reminded God that He promised not to give each of us more than we could bear and I did remind Him often that He was getting close! He was pushing the limits of His promise with me, because there were days I didn't think I could bear any of it, but somehow I managed to get through, and I know it was because of Him! I leaned on my church and friends from church a lot too. They helped in many ways, sometimes cooking dinners for me and the family when I could not, etc. Helped watch my boys when I had doctor appointments, etc.
So good for you. I'm glad that you have the same thinking about letting God stay in control. There is so much we don't know and understand and He does. So we have to let Him take control and lead our lives down whatever path He sees fit.
Please keep me posted on your situation. I can't tell you how much I hope everything works out for you, the way it is supposed to and intended. I'm sure it will.
