Faithfulness

As I get closer to stepping back into life I'm concentrating on my need to continue to stay close to The One Who has surrounded me throughout this journey through cancer.  The last couple of days have been less than conducive to sitting quietly to read and to contemplate and appreciate the truths that I have discovered and re- discovered over this past year.  I suspect that these challenges will do nothing but increase as I taste more freedom, and there's a sadness in that.  

Do I wish that I could remain in my limited life? In a way, yes... but that would mean staying up close and personal with cancer, and that's not an option I choose.  So, my assignment is to discover a way to keep myself in both worlds successfully.  And I believe I can accomplish that quite simply by continually remembering God's faithfulness to me throughout my challenges. Did He ever take a day off?  Did He ever say, "I'll get back to you on that"?  Of course not!  He never failed me and in my own limited way I never want to fail Him.  My world will change but God never does.

A simple assignment?  Maybe......and then again, maybe not.

"Know therefore that The Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments."-Deuteronomy 7:9 (NIV)

"I will always sing about The Lord's love; I will tell of His loyalty from now on.  I will say 'Your love continues forever; Your loyalty goes on and on like the sky'"-Psalm 89:1-2 (NCV)

On the health front:

I had my weekly blood draw this morning so by this afternoon I should know what's what in that department.

My PET scan is scheduled for July 30 and is scheduled to be interpreted for us on August 5.

Keep praying, please!
