Join us in celebrating Tim finishing his six rounds of chemo! Ah, deep breath and a praise to Jesus for getting Tim through it. He has a scan in the beginning of October and we will have results mid October. Please join us in praying that the scan is CLEAR!
We have learned over and over again how quickly things change. So what we are doing now is celebrating what we know to be true now; that chemo treatments are done and the cancer should be gone.
In our gladness of no more treatments we are also hit with the reality of living with this cancer that is known for coming back. In some respects it is easier to be fighting it with chemo rather than just living and waiting for it to rear its ugly head again. It does however bless us by giving us the daily reminder to slay our dragons of fear and surrender daily to our Lord, Jesus.
In addition to surrendering everything to the Lord we also believe he has given us a responsibility to take care of the bodies he has created us with. The Lord has designed our bodies perfectly, and we want Tims as healthy as possible so it has the strength to fight this disease. That is why we have started to look into holistic/natural approaches to cancer also.
So, please celebrate with us, congratulate Tim if you see him, and please continue to pray for him! We will update you when we know results of the PET scan.
Below are a few thoughts that have really blessed me today. Hopefully they will bless you too.
~When one loves God with the entire soul, doubts and struggles do not disappear but their effect on us diminishes. -Philip Yancy
~For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. -Peter in 2 Cor 4:17
~Gods faithfulness can never falter, and that through the labyrinth of history and the disorder of personal lives there runs the constant thread of Gods purpose. -Philip Yancy
~I know not which is most profitable to me, health or sickness, wealth or poverty, nor anything else in the world. That discernment is beyond the power of men or angels, and is hidden among the secrets of your Providence, which I adore, but do not seek to fathom. -Pascal
