Believe

I've been feeling much better since the radiosurgery. Praise God I haven't had many side effects! I had bad headaches at first, but they got better. I lost a little hair in the spot of the radiosurgery, but I texted some family to pray and it stopped. I'm still weak at times but that seems to be the new normal. God is so good!

I go back tomorrow, December 14, for a follow up MRI and doctor appointments. I am believing that cancer in the brain is no longer an issue. Would you pray and believe with me?

As I write this, I'm trying to remind myself how privileged I am. I've been having quite a few emotional ups and downs. I don't like having cancer (what a surprise!) and when I start feeling better, it's easy to put that C word in the back of my mind. But when I have to go back for one of these very necessary but very unwelcome appointments, it comes back to the front and makes me emotional all over again. So, here's another prayer request--emotional stability. Yes, some of you may be thinking that is quite a tall order! LOL!!

In less than two  weeks, I will celebrate my birthday. Oh how each one is so special! Adults often don't look forward to their birthdays because they don't want to get older. Well, if you're not getting older and moving forward, then you're dead! Yes, I know that when I die I'll be in a MUCH better place with my sweet Jesus. No more tears. No more pain. And NO MORE CANCER!! How glorious that will be! But I also know that He's not finished with me down here yet and that my family will miss me. Each birthday is so special. Each day is so special. We've been given the wonderful privilege of experiencing this world and sharing His love each day we're here. Yes, this world is full of tremendous challenges, but aren't we blessed that He chose us to share His love and good news! He believes in us. Shouldn't we believe in Him?
