I am no longer on chemo treatments for now because they no longer are working. Now, to look at it from a "negative" point of view, I would say, "oh no, it is downhill from here". But, from a positive and soul-searching attitude, I say, "yay, no more chemo, no more side effects, no more haunting thoughts about when the next treatment comes, and how it will pull me down psychologically".
So, I am choosing to live freely now, joyfully now, and realize that our lives really are "mysteriously unpredictable" as far as what the medical field is concerned with. We rely on the sciences to keep us going up to a point, but, our own bodies and attitudes toward God's ways also are part of the equation.
That famous verse from Psalm 139:13-14 says: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Don't get me wrong. I truly love the fact that my doctor is exploring every possibility for me in the immunotherapy field and she works hard at learning and finding out what is "out there" for healing and life extension. But, my part is this!
If I don't have the will to live and hope with the knowledge of God's healing power through each day, my thoughts will pull down on my physical body. I am thankful I have a doctor who never gives up on me with her attitude and with her answers to my frank questions.
So, today as we see the hurricane taking a little bit less of a "category", let us all pray for hope and help for those in need of hope and help!
Amen:):):)
