STILL CANCER FREE!!!
I’m 10 months publish transplant, over 2 years into the journey, and God has graciously given our household the present of therapeutic from most cancers. Not utterly out of the woods, however each damaging take a look at is a step in the fitting route.
Once I was recognized the primary time with leukemia, Mazy made me a sword out of outdated shoe molding, and needed me to write down “combat this most cancers” on it. She randomly discovered it this week, handed it to me, and I assumed wow, what a journey. Who knew we’d combat it TWICE!
And because the days go on, I pray God provides me the chance to stroll with others who additionally wrestle with the disappointments, burdens, and diagnoses that life brings. I can see Him do exactly this, and I pray that in SOME manner, I might help SOMEone.
Additionally, on December 10, we’re going for the 2nd try on coronary heart ablation #4! The final one didn’t go QUITE as deliberate, as I by no means had it as a result of they found I had leukemia, whereas already put beneath for the surgical procedure. BUT. We’re going to give it one other go and we simply reward God that my coronary heart survived not one, however TWO intense chemo rounds together with a transplant, which that in and of itself is a miracle!
I’m making an attempt to permit my coronary heart and thoughts to just accept that MAYBE I can spend the vacations with household this 12 months. It’s unknown and scary at instances to let my thoughts go there once more for worry of disappointment. However GOD.
There’s a tune “Amen” by Natalie Layne and it says…
When a prayer I pray is answered
And it stirs my religion once more
Amen for a model new chapter
Amen when the arduous half ends
Amen I’m buddies with my Savior…
This chapter hasn’t ended, however I additionally see a brand new one starting and it’s a easy reminder that God is the beholder of our days. Our hours. And our minutes.
AMEN.
