Success Shared

I did it. I did it! I did it!!!!!! I passed my blood test on the first try today. A spontaneous Eileen-hallelujah dance erupted right in the middle of the clinic. Yup…loud and clear…there was me singing hallelujah in the middle of the clinic! And the nurses smiled and so did my fellow cancer survivors, all very aware it was a major success that my white blood cells were okay. Yeah!!!

Together we did it - you and me. Our prayers were strong, constant and inspirational. From the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Would like to share with you what was in my devotions this morning. I was blown away when I read it. Here was the actual wording at the start of my prayer:

            “Come to me for rest…The journey has been too much for you, you are bone-weary. Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. Instead, see it as an opportunity for Me to take charge of your life.”

I am amazed how often our prayers have been heard. Whether through my devotions or in prayers and sermons at church, there is continuous reassurance from God that we have his support.  He speaks directly to me through you and your messages. He listens to my hours and hours of prayerful conversation. He is giving me the time I need to process the challenges from cancer in my body.

            "...you are on the path of My choosing, so do not give up! Hope in Me, for you will again praise Me for the help of My Presence."

All of us facing cancer know that it is an uphill battle. We cannot see into the future. What lies beyond that blind curve is totally unknown. We are not in control, but we push on, determined to keep on keeping on. We breathe, and draw strength from deep in our soul. We pray. We sleep. We persevere, keeping on....and  on...and on. This is truly an amazing journey.

Moving forward always, The quilting cancer girl
