During this whole 'journey', there have been some challenges and some victories. At one point, I received Dodie Osteen's book "Healed of Cancer". I dug into it very quickly and have highlighted these 40 scriptures that she used - they have become my own. I have them printed out and on index cards. It's amazing how much the Word has been a source. My favorite scripture is Jeremiah 30:17 that says 'I will restore your health and heal your wounds, says The Lord". I have quoted that many times over the last few months. Especially when my hands and feet were numb or when I was feeling queasy. My prayer when I started this was that I would not look tired and sick. I did not want my children to have to see me in the worst of the worst. I did not want to look sick. Thankfully, although I have felt sick many, many times, I have not really looked sick. I did lose my hair. It began to fall out two days after my second chemo treatmen...
It's not a very glamorous life, as a pastor's wife and working mom to 3. Only Jesus can take the mundane and messy and give us back His GRACE.
