Well, I’m almost done with my radiation treatments… only 4 more, and these are done with a lesser dose of radiation that is very specifically aimed at the incision site. Thank Goodness! What I jokingly referred to as the “tanning bed” has turned into the “burning bed” and I’m pretty “well done”, I should heal pretty quick now that I’m not getting blasted with such a high dose each day. I realized a little too late that I should have been putting the salve on the area under my arm as well as on my breast from the very beginning and I probably wouldn’t have gotten so burned, I didn’t notice that the radiation was effecting that area until it was pretty red. I have noticed being very tired, just as others had told me I would be, but otherwise I’ve held up well. Thanks to lots of prayers! I hope what I’ve learned from this experience will help others in the future who face this journey.
I’m looking forward to getting my life back to normal and hopefully having my energy level improve. We are leaving for St. Louis right after my final treatment, and I’m so excited about being there with my family. What a blessing they all are to me! We have lots of new babies in the family and I’m really looking forward to meeting them.
I’ll be reading the scripture at my niece’s wedding, it is really beautiful and is the same scripture used at her parents wedding over 25 years ago.
My devotional today was titled “Whose Way?” Proverbs 16:9 “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps”.
The popular song “My Way” is a perfectly good tune, but it’s not a good guide for life. If you’re looking for life’s perfect prescription, you’d better forget about doing things your way and concentrate on doing things God’s way.
At times, even when you’re trying to do God’s will, you may feel stumped and wonder, “What now, Lord?” But if you earnestly seek God’s will for your life, you will find it in time.
Sometimes God’s plans seem crystal clear; sometimes our vision is more cloudy; sometimes it’s just not the right time for Him to reveal His plan to us. So be patient, keep searching, and keep praying. If you trust the Lord to determine your steps, He will be faithful to guide you. And in time, He will answer your prayers and make His plans known – even if it’s only for the next step. Today do things His way, and you’ll be eternally glad that you did.
Nothing takes God by surprise
Everything is moving according to a plan,
And God wants you in that plan. Billy Graham
