Well today we went back to Huntsman and had round three of Paula’s chemo. All in all it was a good day with no real eventful happenings. Paula’s white blood count was low but the doctor approved her treatment anyway. We are talking to the doctor about giving Paula a shot that will help with this. I guess it has to be approved by our insurance as it is very expensive. We should hear about it soon. We have not received the new numbers for Paula’s marker so I can not share that with you just yet. However, I really felt God telling me today to not put so much stock in numbers. They are just what they are and He is who He is.
Paula told me that she was excited to see how God would work through all the treatments today. She is still at peace and feels more then ever that God has already healed her. The work has been done. Paula has been reading a book called A Blessed Journey Through Terminal Cancer. . . into Divine Healing by Cindy Cox. Cindy Cox is from Shelby Township, MI (for those who don’t know that is where we lived before moving to Utah) and was healed of stage four incurable melanoma. This book has been inspiration to Paula. God has really spoken to Paula through this book. It has been a powerful tool for Paula. Well when we got home this evening Paula got a call from Cindy. Her encouragement, prayer, stories of other healings and scriptures were powerful. Paula was so thankful for the call. Cindy if you read this, thank you.
I have been surprised at how easy it has been to fall right back in routine and the “busy” mindset. Life has been very busy for me and some days overwhelming with responsibility. However, this past Sunday God reminded me that it is in Him that we accomplish all things. It is in our relationship with God and being in His presence that we gain strength. During the worship time at K2 I found myself having a hard time keeping my emotions under control. It was such a great time of receiving from God. I really needed it.
Well it is late and has been a long day so I better close. Tomorrow I get to head to the zoo with Abbie’s 3rd grade class. I think I will need my rest to keep up with them.
Again we say thank you to all of you for the prayers and support. They really mean more then you can know.
Eric
so good to hear from you Eric. You are continually on my heart and in my prayers. God bless all of you- you are an inspiration to all of us. I have heard Cindy Cox and have all of her materials. Her story is wonderful. So glad Paula is being encourgaged by her.
