Happy Easter to Me and to Everyone!

PRAISE GOD THROUGH WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!! I posted a portion of this on facebook yesterday, but if you didn't read it get ready for some great news! Not only did yesterday's CT scan verify that the results from the last one were actually showing infection (form sinus trouble I was having), but one of the cancer lesions had shrunk quite a bit and one was GONE!!! Happy Easter to me!!

This has been quite a journey. I get EXTREMELY tired of traveling to UAB every three weeks, but results like these make it worth it. At least I have the option of treatment! Without it, you wouldn't be reading this blog--there wouldn't be one to read. Yes, God has allowed cancer to be a major part of my life; but He also allowed it during a time in history when it can be treated. There is no cure yet and my life may be shortened, but I continue to be amazed at how He is allowing me to be used for Him during this time. Of course, if He chooses to allow me to live another 50 years, that will be fine with me. If not, I'll just transfer me address to Heaven and oh what a life that will be! As Paul said in Philippians 1:21-26,

"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me."

That last verse may sound a little conceited on my part, but I know that God is allowing this journey of mine to be used for His glory. We endure trials in this life to not only strengthen our faith but to also help others in their journey. He tells us this in His word. What applied to Paul applies to us as well.

I could go on and on quoting verses. There are so many that are applicable to me today. I am rejoicing in this great news! What a mighty God we serve!

Thank you everyone for all of your prayers. Our God is a mighty God. He loves to hear from His people. Thank you for taking the time to approach His throne for me. The prayers of His saints are quite precious to Him.

Love to all!
