This post is going to have two stories in it which is rather thrilling so be excited!
First story requires a little bit of background. There are a few of you who know but maybe a few who don't, but a week before I left for Rome, I had to go to the emergency room. I ended up having an ovarian cyst that ruptured and let's say it wasn't a fun situation. I once again want to thank the amazing people who were there with me that night and stuck through and prayed for me. I love you all and am eternally thankful. I fully healed before I left so yay!
Ok. Story time. After that experience, obviously I'm a little more aware of my body and a few nights ago, I noticed this pain in my right armpit but I just brushed it off, assuming I would sleep it off and went to bed. Well...the next morning, I wake up and it's still there. More, it's even more painful and when I feel it, it's swollen and there's a lump. Naturally, I go online and do a little research. Well, there was a possibility it was either another cyst, a cancerous lump or just some kind of infection. I prayed about it and talked to Anna's mom who is a nurse practitioner. She just told me to wait it out and see if it get's any worse. So that night, as some of us ladies were getting ready to go out to the Colosseum (more stories with that, just check facebook at some point), Anna just prayed over me and asked that Jesus would just take whatever it was away and just heal me. (Interesting side story, after the Colosseum, we had to walk back for an hour home because the trains stopped running at midnight...and we were out late. Did I mention I did this whole walk back barefoot without complaint?)
Well, this morning, I wake up and most of the pain is gone! As the day goes on, it's less and less until I just realized not too long ago it's completely gone! The pain and everything else!! So for sure, praise Jesus on this one.
Alright, second story. Today, we went to the international food store, which was amazing. Afterwords, we went to a restaurant for dinner where the waitress was just truly awful. She just didn't care about us at all, was not helpful and in the end, charged us an extra 8 Euro for a sit down fee and a service fee!! We just payed it and left. Well, we have this favorite gelatoria where the workers there know us and like to give us free desserts whenever we go in. We call this place Enzo's because the store owner is named Enzo.
So after this obnoxious experience, we decided to treat ourselves. We all got the big bowls of gelato and after sitting there for awhile, one of the girls sneaks up behind us and gives us another (this is the 5th one I believe) free dessert and it was delicious, as normal. (we are seriously going to be FAT when we get back...that was soooo much dessert) We talked to the girls who work there (one's name is Emma, we forgot to ask the other girl) and told them about what happened to us and that we just really appreciate them for all they do and that we love them. They just smiled (Emma speaks english well) and chatted. Emma told us she was sorry it happened and to just come and see them all the time. It was just a really nice treat after such a crappy dinner. We are so thankful that God introduced us to these amazing people and I'm excited to get to know them better!
I may have already written this but I really like it for today: "For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for him to help them." Isaiah 30:18B
