March 6, 2009 ~ Setback
We’ve had a setback in our war with the diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer. The test that I took on Wednesday came back with some bad news. My platelet count has dropped even further – another 20% in just 3 weeks. So I am now on a new treatment, and still praying for complete healing.
I can’t pretend that I am not disappointed with this result, but . . .
I trust God. He has been loving and good to me on this path and He has taught me many things that I don’t think I would have learned any other way…
Like the magnificence and greatness of His love for me.
Like the way He’s led me gently even when I didn’t feel Him there. Then the fog of war lifts, and I see that He never left my side. Never.
Like the way he comforts me and restores my soul when I lay this great heaviness down at His feet. It is then that He can pull me in even closer to Him.
So I will praise Him. What else can I do? I’d be lost without Him. He is everything to me, and I only want to know, and serve, Him more. And more.
So, I sing my battle cry to Him in a sacrifice of praise. My heart will choose to say, “Lord. blessed be your name!!!”
