Proceeding with Radiation and following God's will

I have completed 6 radiation treatments thus far. This was my first full week of radiation. It takes about 10 minutes and then you are done. It is a little scary when something so powerful is shot into your body and you don't feel it and you don't know what it is doing. With every treatment, just as it starts I pray God directed these beams to the spots that will bring healing to my body and glorify you.

Earlier this week I had thought through a whol liteny of information that I wanted to post and perhaps encourage you but at this moment in time I seem to be blank in all I wanted so desperately to say. Lots of times I think that I come off sounding doomy and gloomy and I surely don't want to do that. God has extended his blessings to me and my family in so many ways I can't begin to name them all.

We did get some good news Ryan did get accepted to UNC-Wilmington for the Spring 08 semester so now he has to decide if he wants to wait a semester and then enroll. It is his decision we will support him in whatever he decides.

I was reminded the other day about the trials that Job had and how he was encouraged by the devil to curse God and die and he steadfastly refused. Job lost family, cattle. land, clothes, everything he owned and if anyone had cause to be depressed it was Job but he held onto his beliefs and held onto his worship with God and look how he turned out. God has the best Plan for us no matter what our circumstances are. I am no Job but I too will not curse God I will only glorify his name in all I do.

Continue to pray for me and my family as we complete these next 14 treatments.
