2nd Chemotherapy and alls well!

October 8, 2016

I got my 2nd chemotherapy today here in town at Porter Regional Hospital.  It is very convienient and easy to do.  I don't liked to get poked but thats the worst.  I am thanking God for last week-no side effects!  They added another drug this week so I will see how it goes.  I don't anticipate any problems. I told my nurse I have so many loved ones supporting me and praying for me - I am so thankful and blessed.  It really makes me feel confident.  Thanks to all!

I have been teaching Pioneer Girls at church  for several years.  I have 15 to 20 1st and 2nd grade, cute as buttons, germie little girls on Wednesday evenings.  It has it's rewards, but it is also exhausting.  I contemplated not teaching this year with my compromised immune system and anemia.    As the year progresses my treatment will become more rigorous.  I really didn't want to let the director, my dear friend, and my co-teachers down.  It is hard to get people to volunteer and I didn't want to leave a hole.  I prayed about it and reluctantly called my friend to tell her.  I knew it really was too much for me.  She was so sweet and told me not to worry about it.  She had a person text her the day before and asked if it was too late to volunteer!!  God had provided a teacher even before I bowed out.  I am thrilled when I see Him working things out before we even ask sometimes.  Giving God thanks and praise.

I have one more thing to tell you that I learned today.  Recently, Kerstin asked me if I had chosen a verse for my cancer yet?  I thought, really?? that's weird.  I told her I would think about it.  - How do you go about choosing a verse??  I have been praying Psalm 51:10 for a few weeks and this morning when I was praying it, the Holy Spirit pinged my brain and I felt - that's it, that's my verse. I know it was Him because I haven't been thinking about that at all.  So, I guess you don't have to pick a verse, He will give you one . . . . they are His words after all.  These are the words He gave me:
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.   Psalm 51:10  Thank you Holy Spirit and thank you Kerstin!
