Grateful for silver linings, one of which is how family and friends are gathering around us in prayer and with offers of support. Cancer is a lot of hard things. It is already proving to be a lot of connecting with loved ones and strengthening of relationships and that is so, so good.

I'm fine.
Trying to make plans, trying to look ahead a little and am looking forward to summer fun. And then I realize I forgot to do my shot. And then thoughts of cancer creep in. And then I want to cancel the plans and the fun and just go throw myself on my bed and let panic overtake me. Just let it roll over me and carry me away because its a lot of work to live a non-panicked life some days. You have to keep laying it down, keep trusting in God's peace and that he has a plan and I am in it. But I know I wouldn't like to feel that panicky way for real, so I bury my head in a book or go searching for junk food or find a kid to chat with. The panic is swelling and making my chest hurt right now. It is what it is. I am apprehensive about my CT results on Wednesday. I just want my life back the way it was. My innocence. My not-afraid. My ignorance. Now I feel tired.

"I made you and I will take care of you "

I just re-read todays Jesus Calling...
ReplyDelete"Trust Me in all your thoughts. I know that some thoughts are unconscious or semi-conscious, and I do not hold you responsible for those. But you can direct conscious thoughts much more than you may realize. Practice thinking in certain ways - trusting Me, thanking Me- and those thoughts become more natural. Reject negative or sinful thoughts as you become more aware if them. Don't try to hide them from me. Go on your way lightheartedly. This method of controlling your thoughts will keep your mind in My presence and your feet on the path of peace.
Praying and thinking of you xx
ReplyDeleteSo tough. The army of love will be praying you through this week. Lots of love xox
