Yesterday seemed to be such a downer and I know that so much of that was in my heart but God makes each day new and lets us start over. I am starting over today and so much better.
Yesterday I felt physically bad and that pulls our spirits down but it seemed the whole world was blowing up around here. Besides all the hospital stuff Midland was on fire all on the north side of town and the winds were blowing around 50 mph and pushed the fire over 4000 acres right to the back door of our brand new church building. They had to evacuate the church of all the staff and the day care kids and fight the fire with all kinds of stuff. Praise God He protected the building and the fire came to the walls of the church and they were able to put it out. Nothing was scorched but the flower beds. Wish I could have seen all those armies of angels holding back those flames. God's people were all on their knees pleading for protection and God heard the prayers of His people. So thankful He saw fit to spare our new building as well as protection for all the homes and businesses around that end of town.
Some of the nurses here had families that were being evacuated and they of course had to stay here and take care of us sickies. I am so thankful no one was hurt. It was a chance to share that we all were praying for each other and lifting each other up. God's people are everywhere-praise Him!
As all of this was going on my son, Marshall and son-in-law Zach were in Dallas and the weather was terrible. Tornadoes in their back yard and hale on the way. Thankfully they were spared and just had videos of tornadoes in the air and not on the ground. What a crazy day-glad all is well! So thankful.
Dr. Carr came in today with some good news. The leukemia is an intermediate kind. There is poor, intermediate, and good. She said they were expecting mine to be poor but good news it is intermediate which means it hopefully will respond easier to treatment. The pathologist was surprised and so was she and of course we are holding to small steps and that was one-Thanks Lord for the small steps-we'll take it. One more day of the 24-7 chemo drip and then we wait for the platelets to wipe out and begin to pull up hopefully. Tiredness ahead but I am praying that I can pull through and still feel like a human and continue to enjoy life as it is now.
Today is definitely a new day and I am enjoying it
Matthew 8:26 says Christ Jesus, before You rebuked the winds and the waves, You asked Your disciples, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Father help me not to be afraid and keep my faith stronger than it has ever been. I want to be able for others to see your works through me-use me Father. Help me to be a light in this hospital. I want to shine for you!
God is good-----------all the time!!
