Sometimes the answer is, no!
I was anticipating the 3rd session of chemotherapy scheduled for Thursday. Feb 9, but alas, it was Not to be.
Each Tuesday they take a sample of my blood to help determine how I am doing. The sample on Feb 7 found that my blood platelets were low, too low to allow another chemotherapy treatment. This low number was caused they say by the chemotherapy itself. My body needs to improve itself. They have scheduled another chemotherapy session for Feb 16, but again whether they will proceed is dependent on how the platelets look based on results of the blood test on Tuesday Feb 14. My wife and my daughter have been pressing me with a diet which is supposed to help with the low platelet problem...
They know as we know that the answer is God's. God can completely heal me instantaneously or He may choose to use the improved diet to fix me up so that the chemo will do what they doctors hope it will do to the cancer.
My flesh is weak indeed as I feel the pain and I have allowed myself to lean on the wrong things even to the point of being at times discouraged...
But then I really know in whose hand I need to be... all of the time. Our God is able in every situation including mine. Please continue to pray that I will stand always on His side, no matter what that may require me to do or to be.
Give God the glory!
What did JESUS say to the man , when the servants of the house came and told him to trouble the master no more
cause the child was dead . Our hope is not in men but in the LORD alone .
Its true the flesh is weak , but WE AINT GONNA heed our flesh . Either way the Lambs have a good end in the LORD .
Either way HE is with us . He is with us in this life and we shall be WITH HIM home forever at the end .
The LORD alone is in control my friend . Let us dig in the scripture , be in prayer and hour by hour and day by day
LET us always THANK the LORD . even as job who lost much and suffered much , STILL said THE GOOD LORD GIVETH
and the GOOD LORD taketh away , OH BUT BLESSED BE THE HOLY LORD .
I make a promise to us all , YET i was not the first one to make this promise . THE LORD DID .
I promise , that those who believe in JESUS will go to a far better place than we ever imagined when we leave this life .
AND while we are here , HE IS WITH US . We have all hope my friend . Me and my dear sister will be praying for you too my friend .
The flesh is a contrary monster my friend , beleive me i know , BUT JESUS IS GREATER . THUS LET us flee
what the flesh tries to tell us , AND LET US HEED the glorious LORD .
Have you noticed its the flesh that creates all that doubt , anxiety and etc , YET WHEN we focus on the TRUTH our peace abounds .
Let us focus on the LORD and just know JESUS has a place prepared for us that awaits the lambs .
We will pray for you too my friend .
