April 30

Thank you Lord for this beautiful weather. All the windows are open and I will be hearing the kids across the street at the school playing, any minute now.
I think I will probably put a scripture on my entries every day. I hope that will help some people who may need encouragement.
Tomorrow I go for my first treatment of Navelbine and Herceptin. My best friend Betty is going with me. I have so many wonderful friends who are helping me through this and I am so thankful for all of them. I wish I could express how much their encouragement helps me and gets me through difficult times. My boys just went off to school, so now it's time to do laundry. Here are some of the things I am ging to be praying for today,
*My friend Terry , who is going through breast cancer treatment with me. I am praying for her strength and health,
*a young boy at my children's school that is also going through treatment for leukemia,
*and a little girl at my daughter's school that is recovering from brain surgery.
Ok, so here is my scripture for today:
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26
Read 2 Corinthians 1:3-5. How can you show the comfort of Christ to someone who is hurting?
I might add a blog this evening because this is kinda fun. Maybe you can take a little time and read that verse from 2 Cor. because you might come across someone today that needs encouragement.
Blog ya later

My First Entry

This is my first attempt at Blogging so bear with me. I started this to express myself and maybe be of some encouragement to other women who are facing a diagnosis of Breast Cancer. Let me tell you first of all that I am doing this not to whine or complain, but because I feel that the Lord is teaching me quite a few things about Him and i want to pass some of these things on to folks who may be looking for help or someplace to seek comfort. I have been through a lot and I don't want to waste any of my experiences but above all want God to be glorified through my trials. I don't have very many answers to difficult questions but I will pray for wisdom before sitting down to type my experiences or ideas to anyone else. Above all, i believe that God's plan is best. I am slowly learning to let go of my own plans and submit to His will. I think we can all help each other out.
