Blame It On God

This morning I was to go to the Cancer Agency for my bloodwork and possibly chemo. My neutrophil numbers have just barely been high enough for the last three weeks to get the full dose of chemo. As there have only been six days since my last chemo (instead of the usual seven) I went in expecting that my neutrophil count would not be high enough. I had asked you to pray for peace in not getting chemo or my neutrophil counts to be high enough.  I went to the Cancer Agency today and my heart was completely at peace with not getting chemo for this week. I had also said though that if my counts were high enough, it would be due to God and the many people that are praying for me.

Much to my delight, I was wrong... my neutrophil count was the minimum amount to get the full dose and I had my chemo this morning! And my beautiful chemo is working inside me to kill more cancer cells in my body as I write this!

Today I thank God for:
- hearing our prayers and choosing to answer our requests both by giving me peace and for allowing me to have chemo
- a fantastic day yesterday celebrating my husband and his new citizenship!
- you -- the hundreds and thousands of people around who are standing beside me and bringing my needs before God... the burden is lighter because of you.

I'd also like to ask you to pray for my father-in-law in Kosova.  He has been a diabetic for a number of years and has had some rough weeks lately with his health. Please join us in praying for him.

Thank you for caring for me and joining me in trusting God with my future.  As for getting my chemo today... I blame it on God. To Him be the glory!

We were thrilled; Matias could care less but was waving his flag like crazy!
