January 30
Most days are going well, today started great and then crashed and burned with a total meltdown. I spoke to the doctor about these episodes, and while unfortunate, not unexpected. They had given us meds to deal with the anxiety when needed. Don’t need them often, but we do on days like this.
We do see this time of struggle coming to a close. The chemos are working and only three to go over the next four weeks.
It’s been a tough road, but God has been faithful to us. Some days have seemed like more than we can handle, but God always provides what we need to get through the day.
Where’s the joy?
I am thankful for friends who check in and take the time to listen.
I pray for an awareness of the needs of others, so I can pay the kindness forward to others who need encouragement.
I rejoice in the fact that God is always present, even when I don’t feel him.
Where’s the joy? Today, it’s friends and family who walk alongside us.
Put on then as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving eah other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
And above all, put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Colossians 3:12-15
