Day 22: Chemo 2

I am actually sitting here in my chemo treatment writing this blog. Isn't that poetic.

As I shared last time, I met a girl that is slightly ahead of me in her staging and a little over a month ahead in her treatments. I guess about a month and a half ahead of me. She just found out that she only needs 3 more treatments! I just rejoiced for her. In six more weeks she will be receiving her last treatment and what a celebration that will be for her. She is planning on getting married in June, and what an incredible wedding present from God. 

There are just so many good things happening everywhere I look. I am so grateful to be a part of them. It is through each of these that I gain my energy and it rejuvenates my hope all over again. I look forward to life after chemo just because I see so much to be done to continue to glorify God. I don't want to just go through this and then stop all the work God has done through this experience. I want to carry on witnessing and helping others that are going through tough times as well. 

When we lost our baby boy in 2009 I remember God giving me a scripture that I quickly realized to be my life scripture. It is what I am suppose to do.

³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, ⁴ who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. ⁵ For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. ⁶ If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. ⁷ And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. 2 Cor. 1:3-7

I feel so called to help others as God has helped me. I want to look for opportunities every day in order for this to happen. 

I will most likely blog some more a little bit later on. I just wanted to let you all know that I am doing well and hanging in there. It is just about nap time. :-) 

Love you all and thanks for the prayers.
