Be Careful What You Ask For

By Janis Ralston 



I was in the last stage of testing for surgery to have a brain lesion 
removed.  I realized I was a little late for my annual GYN exam and decided  to do that quickly, so I wouldn't worry about waiting another couple of  months. 

The OB/GYN did the exam.  Near the beginning he asked me if I knew I was pregnant. My response was "Are you sure?"  He looked at me with a grimace and responded, "Well, it is my job!" 

We'd been praying for answers to the surgery.  I had recently said "God, yes or no: Do I have the surgery?  Just give me a definitive answer." 

Well,  apparently I forgot the definition of "Definitive" !  The moral we drew from  this was: Be careful what you ask for!
