Are You Joyful?

Even though I am recovering from my lumpectomy and face more treatments I am so thankful the cancer was discovered early and that it can be taken care of. We can't control what set backs or bad things come into our lives but we can control how we respond to them. With Jesus my Savior I know He will help me through anything and because He is in control, I can relax.

This is why I can be joyful even while going through this situation. I met with the medical oncologist today who told me based on her experience and the nature of my cancer, she doesn't think Chemo will be needed; however, she has to wait for another report on the recurrence score to confirm that. What a waste of a trip that was--why don't they wait until they have all the information they need before scheduling an appointment. I didn't find out anything today that I already didn't know.

This quiz was right on for me. Take the little quiz to find out how joyful you are:

I am Very Joyful

You may not be happy all of the time, but you experience frequent moments of joy in your life. There are moments so perfect that time has stood still and you wish you could freeze it forever. You are so joyful because you appreciate the small things in life. You know joy is more about who you are than what you have. You are thankful to be alive, and you know that things could be a lot worse. You are content with your life.
