We Thank God for You

I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge. — I Corinthians 1:4-5

We are so thankful for the overwhelming kindness of friends.

These roses were from Brad and Peggy.

We should have been sending them roses for the food and wine they have brought us, the reception they helped coordinate, the many hours of phone calls, prayers and support they have provided.

Our Virginia family has also been such a huge help, fixing dinners for us, chatting into the wee hours,  helping us entertain friends and family, filling my car's tires with air, and much more.

We are blessed and overwhelmed.

We always thank God for you!

God Has Done Marvelous Things

Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. — Psalm 98:1

This is the card I received earlier this week from Mary and Gary, who have been praying along with everyone else.

Another perfect sentiment for the week.

The rain is coming down tonight, pattering on the rooftop, and tomorrow will most likely bring another rainbow.

I am blessed and overwhelmed with all of the prayers and support.

Thanks to all of my loving friends and family members who have been covering me in prayer.

Even when we can't feel God's hand, He is there to guide and direct us through life's storms.

Praise the Lord. He has done marvelous things!

Pathology Report Praise

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul. I will praise the Lord all my life;

I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. — Psalm 146:1-2

Card of Encouragement

Today the surgeon called with my pathology report. My cancer is infiltrating (invasive) ductal carcinoma, and the margins are clear. This is the most common type of breast cancer. I am thanking God for this news that they appear to have removed it all.

 

They also removed 3 lymph nodes and found a small spot of cancer in one of them. I'm thankful that they removed the one with the cancer! 

 

So they will direct the radiation to that lymph node area as well. That will start after I'm completely healed from the surgery, about a month from now and may last 5-7 weeks. 

 

The surgeon does not need to remove any more lymph nodes, which is also wonderful.

He thinks I may need chemo later, just to make sure that all of the cancer is removed.

 

The oncologist will call me to go over next steps, and I'll meet with the surgeon next week to confirm that I'm healing well.

 

I'll also be heading in to work tomorrow and Friday. That will feel good after working at home this week.

 

This is the card I received yesterday from our good friend Edna who has been praying along with everyone else. She doesn't have a computer, so I'll be calling her with these results.

I am blessed and overwhelmed with all of the prayers and support.

 

Praise the Lord!
