Savannah and I are finally healthy, and everyone went to school/work/babysitter this week! It’s a blessing to be back in the normal pace of life that we live. Shelby still isn’t feeling too good, but she’s at school and on the road to recovery. Mark also made it through this without getting too sick. PTL.
My treatment went pretty well yesterday, but my white and red blood cell counts are getting low enough to watch them carefully now. I’m sure that a week of being sick didn’t help with counts either. I’m feeling tired this morning and a little bit shaky, but 90% better than last week, so I can make this work. I’ll also have a week off of chemo next week, so the counts should have a little time to recover.
We had a great sermon at church on Sunday by Nathan, and he shared a message on prayer with us. He reminded us to never give up asking God for our needs even if we thinking we’re bothering him. I can see so many areas of my prayer life that start to feel like I’m bugging God with more than He wants to hear from me, and this message encouraged me to keep asking, seeking, and knocking. I can also testify that God has answered some of my most persistent prayers over the years when I haven’t given up, so I hope this encourages you to keep up your efforts on all fronts too.
It was a joy to be able to sing during Worship time on Sunday for the first time since I started chemo! I couldn’t get through all the songs, but I was able to sing several. Worship is my favorite time on Sunday mornings, and I’ve always loved to sing my heart out (I’m just like my Dad) even if I’m not that great.
Thanks for your prayers, concerns, cards, support and hugs.
Sandy
You are like your Dad in several ways, not just the singing part. I miss having him around. I am praying for you and your family regularly. It is good to read your updates and know what to pray for. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Linda
