Three Months Later

Has it really been three months?

This summer has really flown by, and so much has happened in such a short time: cancer diagnosis, doctor visits, selling the house, and moving - it's really been a whirlwind. Thank God for His presence through it all!

This week I finally found a Primary Care Physician that I can start seeing on a regular basis. This doctor was absolutely wonderful. She is a Christian, she knows about this type of cancer, and she is very supportive. She talked to me as a person, instead of a cancer patient. She respects my decision regarding treatment, and wants to concentrate on the whole body, instead of just the cancer. I will be seeing her once a month, and she has already set up for me to get blood work done every 2 weeks.

After more than a week, I am finally getting settled in my new place. We closed on the sale of my house Thursday, exactly 1 week after we moved out. Things are finally starting to settle down, and I'm getting some time to just rest. I've done lots of sleeping the last few days. :)

When looking back over the last three months, and how much has changed since my diagnosis, I'm truly blown away. I have grown much, yet I know I've got a lot more growing to do. But I am willing to be molded in whatever way the Lord needs me.

Walking with cancer these past months has not been easy - I would be lying if I said it was. But there is such a strength in the Lord, and this has been so different from what I imagined it would be in the beginning. Now, I take life on a day-by-day basis. I make plans, but I rarely look past today, because I want to live in the now,  in this moment, always asking the Lord "What would You have me to do today?"

Saturday I will be speaking at the house of a friend, to give my testimony. She asked, and is opening her home, and of course I accepted. It's not everyday we Christians get opportunities to speak our hearts to people on such intimate terms as in someone's home. I cannot wait to see what the Lord is going to do!!
