Revelation Is Incremental

Sunday Oct. 4th----General Conference Week-End

It was hard for me to concentrate on General Conference this time.  I had received some news on a Medical Ultra Sound I had recently had.  Yes, confirmed,  I had gallstones and would most likely need surgery soon to remove the gall bladder.  A little more ominous was the report that something was showing up on the liver.  Time for a blessing.  One should not be unhappy with a priesthood blessing.  I was trying hard not to be but was somewhat frustrated that no surgery or surgeon was mentioned in the blessing.  I was simply blessed that I would "Recover".  Recover?  Recover from what?  I had an ominous feeling that something lay ahead that yes, would be long and hard and need recovering from.   No one wants a feeling like that. I tried to dismiss it.  I prayed that night that I would be able to understand that blessing.  It came to me as I lay in bed that night... the thought that there would be no surgery.  No surgery?  Ok.  That must be why it wasn't mentioned.  To this date there has been no surgery.  Revelation is incremental.  Nearly 2 months later with many tests and results behind me, I finally understand,  "You will recover".  Having been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver, I now understand.  I hang on the words of that blessing now.  "You will recover."  Lesson learned.
Thank you Heavenly Father!  Thank you Dell!
