     This morning Dorean and I went to se my Oncologist, Dr. Melos for a post surgery checkup. We had some questions for him about the radiation and he said that radiation was not a choice but a must have. Every time someone gives me materials on the dos and don'ts while undergoing radiation, the side effects get worse. He admitted that it will be like going through hell but it will give me a better chance of not having a reoccurrence of the MCC. This cancer is one of the worst out there and very hard to control.
     Oh well, God can certainly control it, He controlled the fiery furnace for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. What is a little thing like MCC against Him? He chose me before the foundation of the world to write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life and He knew that I would be going through this trial and He knows the outcome for me. That is all I need to know and I will just trust Him for the rest.
      This is a prayer that a very dear friend, Ce Ce, sent me. She is British and such a love. Thank you Ce Ce, it is just what I need to get through the next 6 to 8 months.

And Now May The Lord Bless You And May The Lord Keep You.

And May The Lord Make His Face To Shine Upon You.

And May The Lord Give You His Peace.

May God Take You Through The Problem To The Provision.

May You, With Bold, Relentless Faith,

Go Straight Through The Problem And Receive The Promise Of God.

Let This Day And The Days That Follow Be Days Of Triumph And Victory

Because God Is A Faithful God Who Will Never Fail You.

In Jesus' Name, We Receive The Answer

     I feel the power and might in these words. They are Scriptural and poignant. So many  beautiful words of encouragement are coming to me from some unexpected places. They mean very much to me and give me strength to face another day. A friend I went to high school with, Sarah, sent me a lovely encouraging email with this little statement tucked inside it. “If God takes you to it; He will take you through it.” I believe that with all my heart. So God, take me through this all the way. Thank You,  for Your promises, for Your sovereignty, Your love and provision of all I will need to get to the other side of this trial. You will be more real and I will be stronger in You.

The big "C" in me is Christ enabling me to deal with the little "c" which is the cancer!
