Today has been a busy day with my youngest son, Jason. He and I and together (he doing more than me) cleaned up the house. Doing some much needed cleaning that had been ignored or barely touched in the last six to nine months. It feels good to be able to go and do things again and be exhausted in just a few hours. I'm still adjusting though because I still have a day here and there where the energy level isn't 100% but God through his grace has and is giving me more and more energy for each day.
To back up a little bit earlier in the month, I had my last treatment and that same week I went to our Ladies Retreat which was amazing! I'm so thankful I was able to go and enjoy the relaxation, the fun, the fellowship, the time with church family and with one of our missionary wives who was in town at the time. Since then I've been a little under the weather, as I told my hubby, I believe the brick wall that hit me was 13 months of sickness that I hadn't had during chemo, surgery and radiation. Planning to be in my place tomorrow at church and do what needs to be done. Below are a few pictures from the Ladies Retreat I mentioned.
Several of the ladies enjoying games, and the lake we looked out across from the cabin. Dunn's camp is a beautiful place!
As the last couple of weeks have passed I've thought a lot on certain days, what had happened that date just a year ago and you know, I've found that though we didn't and in some ways don't know why things happened the way they did, whether it was a year ago, two years ago or yesterday, God is still the same. He still loves me no matter what. He took care of me before I had cancer, while I had cancer and so far since being deemed cancer free. Of course I know he will continue to care for me. See, the Lord cares for the Sparrow, if he eats, where he fly's, where he sleeps, he even sees and knows when the sparrow falls. Since God cares that much for the sparrow I know he cares even more me! His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me!
So as I continue my journey, yes this journey continues even after being told I'm cancer free. See, there are still appointments, and an out patient surgery. There are still things that most be watched and things I must be careful of BUT I have a God in heaven who's brought me this far and he'll see me through the rest of this journey caused by cancer.
If you have a journey that you are going through, don't worry and fret about it. Turn it over to the Lord, he watches over you just as he does the Sparrow. The greatest thing you can do, in your journey, is stay close to God! Read your Bible, Pray, be in church as much as you can, go out soul winning and telling others about Christ. Share the gospel with your nurses, doctors, co-workers etc. Don't let your journey get you down.
Bill and I are doing great! We serve a might King that still reigns on high. So as you go through your day, do as we do, look for something to "Make Today Amazing!"
