“Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.” Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭21‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I would have loved to be with Moses and the Israelites to see the red sea part. Can you imagine walking through with sea walls all around you? Thankfully we have this story written in the word of God to know that we serve a mighty God who is faithful in His promises. Today God is writing our stories, just like He did with the Israelites.

What is God doing with my story? More often HPV will go away on it’s own. After three years of screenings and biopsies, I was advised by trusted Doctors to have a Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure, otherwise known as a LEEP. This was hard for me to plan because I was in the middle of training for a Marathon that I felt sure God had called me to do. Back in January 2022, less than two months before my race I had the procedure. Thankfully I recovered well and was able to run my race.

I thought I would finally be done with this HPV journey. I was at peace knowing that I had taken every preventive measure possible. Five months later I went in for a follow-up screening. It took almost three weeks for my results to come back. I began to worry so I wasn’t surprised when my results came back High-grade (HSIL) Dysplasia/Carcinoma in Situ. This isn’t cancer but pre-cancer. I would then see a Gynecological Oncologist for a consult and more testing. I was advised by this specialist to have a Hysterectomy.

So here I am today, just a day away from surgery. I went for my last long run this week. As I listened to my marathon playlist the song, Truth I’m Standing On by Leanna Crawford played. Some of the lyrics sing, “The God who parts the sea promises he’s gonna make a way for me”. I am trusting God on this Thursday and thankful for the trusted Doctors God has equipped to take care of me.
