Happy Friday!
Every now and then I think of some wise words that my mama left behind before she went to be with The Lord. It's funny, isn't it, what one remembers. During her last weeks I was picking on her, which I often did. Her withered hand would not allow her to do much, and she knew it. So she just said, "I'm going to pop your jaws. Still picking on her I replied, "Not any more mama. You're not fast enough. and she said, "I'll get you first and last."
Over these past days I have been struggling with the side effects, some of them new, of chemo. On top of that, I have strained my back. So here is the update, my friends. Next Monday I am scheduled for scans and tests. Those tests will determine our next steps on our cancer journey. We could stop the chemo, leave it the same, or increase the formula. Again, all of that will depend upon what Dr. Chang learns from the tests.
Even though each one of you knows that I have complete faith in The Lord, you probably also know that we get a bit nervous every time we scan. Some folks say that I am going to be completely healed. Some folks say that I will receive my healing in His way and His time. I am fine either way, whether God does it His way or the way that I think is best.
Oh, by the way, as I was getting ready to leave mama for that particular visit I leaned down to give her a kiss on the cheek. Without any waring, her arthritic hand reached up and touched my cheek. It was mama's way of popping my jaws. I had forgotten. She had not.
I am all the more confident that God is going to give me complete healing. When will that happen? It will happen "first and last." Whatever journey you travel today, know that God has already traveled that path. He is always with you - first and last.
