It's hard to believe that after this week, I'll only have 4 treatments left. Wow! I'm so excited. Bloodwork today, infusion tomorrow, hooked up to pump Wed and Thursday and then starting recovery again.
I've had a hard time managing the nausea this cycle. Usually by now I'm off meds or limiting them to the evening. Today I started with them at 8am. I was down all day Friday and trying to play catchup in the studio on Saturday. Sunday was church and what a blessing it was to get back there.
I study and listen and watch some sermons on tv but nothing takes the place of the peace and energy that comes from being part of a spirit filled congregation.
"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing." Hebrews 10:25
I sort of equate it to watching a football game on tv, which I do a lot of. It can be exciting but nothing replaces the energy of being in the midst of a huge crowd of fans all rooting for the same team. I love to watch Joel and David Jeremiah, but it doesn't take the place of being a part of a church family. If you don't have one or feel unfulfilled where you are going, find another church. But whatever you do, find one. The blessings are incomparable.
Praise report from Renee. She has started her radiation treatments which will complete step 3 of her 4 step journey to cured.
Prayer request for long time friend Annette who prays with us daily. Annette has a bad staph infection on her face and it needs healing quickly.
My new neighbor across the street, Earnest, came over this weekend to introduce himself. He has prostrate cancer and is on dialysis. He travels three mornings a week at 4am for 3 hours on a dialysis machine. In spite of all of this, he has a mobile car detailing service and serves as a deacon in his church. What an incredible example he is.
Precious Lord, Jehovah Rapha,
Thank You for yesterday. Thank You for Texas Cowboy Church, it's leaders and members who all love and honor You in the purest way. What a blessing it is to be a part of that church family.
Father, we ask in Jesus' name for a sudden and complete healing for Annette from the staph infection that has invaded her body. That is an ugly enemy not unlike cancer and we pray for it's total elimination so complete that it will never return.
Father, we give special thanks for the healing journey that Renee is on and for how far You've brought her and for taking her through to a complete healing.
Father, we ask in Jesus' name special healing blessings for Earnest today. Strengthen his body so that he can fight and have victory over the enemy cancer. We know that Your hand is what lights the fire leading to complete health and victory.
We love You Lord. We bless and honor You. It's all You, Father, all You.
In Jesus' precious name, the name above all names.
Amen
