Sorry to be so late with this. Today went very well, I feel great and had no allergic or adverse reaction to the chemo! Praising my Father for that! Today the hospital and Huntsman Cancer Institute launched a new computer system for both facilities in full. Needless to say, they had problems. My two hour infusion turned into six... When we finally got labs, drugs, and poison, all went according to plans!
I had a great weekend. We hiked and did things around the house. I have such peace and calm, I'm not even sure how to handle it. I'm a worrier, I think God is winning on this sanctification promise! I know we have a long road, and I'm sure there will be battles along the way. I feel ready, and I know God will sustain me. I love the book of Isaiah. There are so many treasures that come from it. This weekend I spent a lot of time just looking at God, remembering all He has done, who He is. I have a Savior who is personal, real, and knows intimately everything I am feeling. He has walked this earth perfectly so He could be compassionate toward you and me. Does that register? Amazing love, how can it be, that You, my King would die for me????
So, today as I sat at the infusion center with a beautiful view, I went through Isaiah and wrote down some things I know about God from these passages. There were too many to list, I tried! Read the book, trust me! Here is a list I made from my mini study as a cancer patient today. I hope you are braver, more confident, and inspired as you go through it. READ ISAIAH!!!!!

ReplyDeleteHe said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
Amazing, your unrelenting faith. It's nice when you know we can lean on God and it brings you peace in the face of adversity. The stillness inside your body occupying space with the one thing that causes the turmoil, a conflict of the heart and yet stillness. The knowing that God's got this!!
I look back on my life and I think, WOW God must really love me. He gave me a mother who gave me just enough. Enough time with her so that he could give me a MOM. The little girl with no name became so much more than she would have been if God had not intervened. He gave her a daddy and a brother (who by the way wanted to trade me for a red rocking chair, and as I got older wanted to trade me for a beer to the bartender in St. Thomas...Lol Your husband)..but he gave me so much more...he gave me eyes to see as he does, he gave faith to over come obstacles, he gave of himself so that I could be saved. He knew my heart, what I needed just as he know's yours.
You got this Vic, GOD'S GOT THIS....He's got you in his heart, in his hands, surrounded with love, peace, and healing.
God is all knowing, Ever present, and All powerful. He is Holy, loving, just and personal. :)
You are in my prayers every night and my thoughts daily. I just know God's GOT THIS!
