Doing my 4th chemo today. It's getting tougher with each new cycle but my hope remains surely in the Lord.
I've established a routine now and that helps make things go quickly. One of the highlights is walking with Connie in Subang Ria park on Sundays. It's kind of a reward for going through the week.
This morning I read Psalm 66 which resonated with my heart deeply...
For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into
mthe net;
you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12 you let men
nride over our heads;
we went through fire and through
owater;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.
And when it's all over...
rCome and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth,
and high praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had
scherished iniquity in my heart,
tthe Lord would not have listened.
19 But truly
uGod has listened;
he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
because he has not rejected my prayer
or removed his steadfast love from me!
One truth remains in all of this testing...I have experienced His abundance in the midst of suffering!
Blessed be our Lord! Because he hears my prayers and keeps me in His steadfast love...where else can I find abundance??!!
Thinking of you as far as from here in NZ! I just missed the earthquake which hit Wellington slightly. . Just left Wellington. *Was not in the South Island. There was a minor quake near Rotorua where i am now, it was 2.9 magnitude.
ReplyDeleteFor you:
“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
He will not strive, nor shout; neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
(World English Bible, Matthew 12:18-20)

ReplyDeleteI know when I come out of it I can say to everyone - I've just been to the valley of the shadow of death and its true - God is there with me and His rod and His staff, they comfort me.
DeleteHow can anyone go through something like this without God is beyond me.
