Unknown

Are you scared of the unknown? I know I am. I also know that I am not supposed to be. I could go "all Bible" on you, but for now, won't. To me, there is a very fine, not so straight line between trusting God and being proactive about the body that he gave you.

If there is something wrong medically, you go to the doctor and get looked at. No problem. You thank God for enabling certain people with the intelligence and wisdom (yes they are different things) to help you take care of you body.

Now say, there is something wrong with you medically and the doctor sends you to a specialist. That specialist does tests and treats you for some things are outside the normal limits that could, or could not be, contributing to the condition that brought you there in the first place. Now, also imagine that the treatment for the "less than optimal" levels has done nothing to make the levels optimal and he wants to repeat the treatment. Bear in mind that the treatment has as many side effects as not treating does.

Throw into the mix a spouse with a medical background that does their best to remain calm and not tell you about all the bad things that can happen. Add some really expensive medical texts and google and stir.

At what point, if any so far, have you stopped trusting God? Is it ok to continue going to specialists to find out the nature of the problem? Is it ok to continue doing research about possibilities? Is it ok to sit back and "let go and let God?"

Does this whole unknown issue fit into my rate x time equation?
