With being sick this last week I feel like I just had my last chemo treatment and then all of the sudden it is time for another one. Yet, I am not ready. I have things to do, people to see, places to go....toilets to clean....anything but having chemo.
This is where the going gets tough. I must get my big girl boots on and place one foot in front of the other. Soon I will be at the end. I have 6 weeks and 1 day until my last treatment. (Side note: my birthday is actually 6 weeks from today. I have never really cared whether my birthday came or not - at least not in my adult years - but this year I am excited for it to come because that means I will be at the end.) Anyway, 6 weeks and 1 day from today I will be having my last treatment and it can't get here fast enough.
I will have 4 treatments in 6 weeks (3 of them being in June). If I can survive June I can survive anything!
Making it even harder - Jason is leaving tomorrow morning for a mission trip. This was all planned when we thought I would only have 8 treatments - God had different plans though. I will miss Jason dearly. He takes such good care of me and puts up with my whining. It will definitely be a challenge without him. My mom is stepping in while he is gone and the kids are so happy to have grandma here.
So, where do you go when you are dreading something - the bible of course.
One of my life verses that helps me in times of dread:
ReplyDelete"My soul still remembers and sinks within me. This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope: Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness."
`Lamentations 3:20-23 NKJV
Just keep swimming, Girl!
Thank you Sarah! When I read this scripture that song....Great is thy faithfulness, great is thy faithfulness....popped into my mind.
ReplyDeleteI also love Dory. :-) I feel like my brain works like her's now too!
