It comes in small ways, like buttercups peaking out. It also comes in the form of little touches of encouragement that loved ones send my way. Notes, texts, facebook hellos, snail mail, phone calls, food delivered...and much more! God has blessed our family with continual love and encouragement. It is really His love, expressed through others. I'm so, so thankful! It really does carry me through the day.
Medically...I went yesterday to get my third treatment...2 shots of Faslodex and the I.V. bone strengthener. Some of you have asked me about these meds, but they are NOT chemo, and I'm not doing radiation. These are meds that are taken to stop the growth of the tumor and to strengthen the bones. It went well. A dear friend took me and after I was finished we enjoyed a nice lunch together in North Little Rock.
Last month I did not feel so well the next day. So I was kind of holding my breath to see how I'd feel when I woke up this morning. But TODAY...I'm doing fine! I have been praising God for this day and for sparing me of the flu-like symptoms. It's been a great day.
Hosea 6:3
Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”
O Lord God,
We DO acknowledge You! You alone are our God, the One and Only. Thank You for the ways that You appear to us everyday. You are faithful and good. Rain on us, O God, to give us Your Spirit. Increase our hearts with hope and peace. We give You the praise for this day. Thank You.
In Jesus' Name. Amen.
