Number 18 today...feeling it!

I can certainly say that, for the most part, what docs have told me has been pretty consistent...when I feel sick, or better, or needing time, or feeling fatigue, etc. They know what they are talking about, even though there are so many variables for each person. I have treatment #18 this morning, week 4. Even though it seems forever day to day, it is going very quickly in the whole scheme of things. So much easier in many ways than chemo was, but not without its issues. Time-consuming, fatiguing (but not til this week, really), and some minor skin issues starting. Again, they are taking good care of me and all the techs/nurses and Dr. Curry are delightful. I have been able to share in the 'ringing of the bell' with several ladies before or after my appointment, signifying the end of their treatments and that is such a simple pleasure! June 11th, I will be doing the same!


As you can tell by my lack of entries, I am getting busier as well as often too weary to write when I do have the time. And I sometimes feel as though I say the same things over and over, so I just don't always want to bore you! The Lord is reinforcing many lessons learned - primarily those about pacing myself, choosing priorities, and being comfortable with where I am right now. Trusting in His timing in restoring my energy and abilities, along with my physical healing. Still have so much to learn!


Songs I have been enjoying on my travels...

Every Time I Breathe (by Big Daddy Weave)

I am sure all of heaven's heard me cry 
As I tell You all the reasons why 
This life is just too hard 
But day by day, without fail 
I'm finding everything I need 
And everything that You are to me 

Chorus: 
Every time I breathe You seem a little bit closer 
I never want to leave, I want to stay in Your warm embrace 
Oh basking in the glory shining from Your face 
And every time I get another glimpse of Your heart 
I realize it's true that You are so marvelous God 
And I am so in love with You 

Now how could I after knowing One so great 
Respond to You in any way that's less than all I have to give 
But by Your grace I want to love You not with what I say 
But everyday in a way that my life is lived 

Depth of Mercy (by Selah)

Depth of mercy, can there be mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare?

Heaven find me on my knees
Hear my soul’s impassioned plea
Depth of mercy can there be
Mercy still reserved for me


There are others, but I'll save them for another day!


Thankful thoughts:

• The beauty of spring flowers! Planting flowers, seeing the riot of color as blooming is at its height...just LOVE it!
• Opening our pool...yay!
• Email - I can still keep in touch with Kristen while she is away! (China - huge trip!)
• Ceiling fans - hot flashes are intense these days...don't know where I would be without it!
• Days of energy - they are very encouraging!

I leave you with this verse.
I Peter 5:6-7:  Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.


He is so capable and willing. Love to you all.
