Round one of chemo is history. It’s nice to be free of the stand that I’ve been dragging around for the past week. Though I still need it at night for antibiotics, electrolytes and anything else to wake me up for 30 minutes while they add it or change it.
I said yesterday that I would discuss why I am not scared of this fight I’m in, so here goes. Both my wife and I have such a calm over us that it can’t be anything but supernatural. I am a details guys and my wife is an anxious worrier, so left to our own devices we would be asking and looking and reading and worrying and fretting about everything. But we aren’t, both of us have peace, total and deep peace.
I’ve mentioned the enormous outpouring from all around the world. It has come from old friends, family members of friends, friends of friends. It’s stirred things inside of people I didn’t think could get stirred up. All of them have kind words, but some of them have messages, and consistently throughout the entire journey, no matter the relationship, the source or medium, the that message has been the same, that God is using this cancer battle for something beyond me. I figure that if I am part of His plan, I’ve got nothing to worry about.
And if the absolute worse does happen and I die, I know what is going to happen to me. I know what the next step is and it’s nothing that I am afraid of. I’ll be in Heaven because I believe in Jesus and accepted His sacrifice for me.
On the bright side
It’s all bright side today baby! No chemo, no fear and lasagna for dinner.
