Tuesday came and went and they sent me home without chemo treatment because my blood counts were very low, severe anemia, and a bad cough. I got an antibiotic for the cough and I just pray it gets better. Seems I just want to sleep all the time and I can't imagine still being sleepy but I am. Just can't seem to feel better. This is such a weird sleep between wild dreams and a sleep so deep you don't feel like you will ever wake up, but you do and you are still sleepy. I am hoping to feel better by Friday or I am going to call and beg for something to make me feel like a human again. If it means a blood transfusion then I am ready, I just want some strength back.
I know the Lord has called me to this place and will use me in this place and I am ready for whatever He has, just need the strength to do it-again I know right now that comes from Him and Him alone.
You will turn my mourning into gladness; You will give me comfort and joy instead of sorrow. You have declared that You will satisfy Your people with abundance, and we will be filled with Your bounty (Jer. 31:11-14)
Lord, You will refresh the weary and the faint (Jer. 31:25)
Lord, I fell both of those and wait eagerly for your refreshing. Amen
God is good------------------------all the time! susan
Susan,
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me, but your son Marshall spoke to our youth on Wed and spoke of your amazing testimony!!
I will say I know what you're going through.....I am a cancer survivor that definitely knows what rough days are like.....
Your favorite verse, 2 Corinthians 12:9, was a verse that truly reminded me of God's power in trials, but I also am reminded of God's faithful love and constant power in Isaiah 43:2
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you."
God never said we wouldn't pass through the fire, but He does promise to be with us every step of the way....
One of my favorite songs is MercyMe's "Bring the Rain", and I'd like to share a small part of it with you.....
"I can count a million times, people asking me how I
can praise You with all that I've gone through.....
.....I know there'll be days, when this life brings me pain,
but if that's what it takes to praise You, Jesus bring the rain."
Ever since I heard your story on Wed, I have been praying constantly for God to continue to give you the strength to praise Him and spoke of all His glory as you have so beautifully done so far!!!!
God bless you greatly!!!!!
Veronica
So good to hear from you Veronica, and the scripture is so good to read over and over. God's word is so comforting and even better encourging. We are so glad Marshall was able to share with your group, God has done amazing things through and with him and we praise Him for the testimony. Thank you so much for sharing. In Him, susan
