Courage ... Patience .... Perseverance

The beauty and warmth of summer is all around and I have been very much enjoying pulling weeds out of my garden.  Even if it is just one weed at a time. :) 


It has taken some thoughtful consideration but I have accepted that I have weeks of chemo before me.  This Wednesday will be the start of week 15 and the start of round 2 of this cycle.  I have come to the conclusion that God is teaching me patience. The good news is that I should be done in time for Christmas. 

"But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, ...
Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; 
and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: 
when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee."
Isaiah 43: 1 and 2

I have nothing to fear.  God has called my name and I am his.  Even though I am going through chemo (or walking through fire), I shall not be burned.

Everywhere I go people are telling me how amazing I look.  All I can say is that my healthy glow is God's doing.  My hair is starting to return and I jokingly tell others that I am becoming a 'regular hippy'! :) 

I continue working with my very sweet homeopath who is helping to minimize the chemo side effects. I continue to do my best in trying to eat the best quality food that I can. I continue to take my doctors advice. And I continue to pray.  

All is well.  God is in control! :)
