3 down...27 to go...

Well, the radiation has begun...Kristen is 'convinced' that I will come out of the next 6 weeks with super powers! So far, it is no big deal but just weird. Literally, it takes 10 minutes. I get a little nauseous afterward and have very little appetite. Others have said the same thing, though the techs say I shouldn't be nauseous with where they are treating. So, we will see. Maybe I am more anxious than I realize! I usually lay there and recite song lyrics or verses for those few minutes. One of the songs going through my mind is one by Selah, called "All of Me". The lyrics are below...the first verse is not as applicable, but the whole song is precious and runs through my mind a great deal.

All of Me by Selah

Holy father, love me still

I have fallen from your will

I am broken, Hear my humble cry, My cry

Take my life and make it yours, Lord 

Fill me with your love 

You are all I need 

I surrender all of me

I have wandered for so long

Tired and weary on my own

In your arms I know I’m home, O God, My God

Take my life and make it yours, Lord 

Fill me with your love 

You are all I need 

I surrender, I surrender, I surrender all of me

Seems appropriate as I lay there, very vulnerable, and at the mercy of this machine rotating around me. Such comfort in knowing Whose hands truly hold me and where I rest. 


Thankful thoughts:

• ALMOST blooming flowers...iris, lilac, peonies - can't wait. They hold such promise!
• New friends at radiation - the lady before me, and the lady after me. Lovely ladies.
• My friend, Joy...that is what she brings me! JOY!
• The gift of prayer - what a great week of prayer in our church. Special meetings, special people, wonderful promises.
• Funny commercials - I know, weird but some make me laugh...La Quinta commercials, and others..

Have a blessed, albeit rainy day!
