I was reading my bible today---using the One Year Bible---. I had decided I needed to be "in" the Word more than what my devotional readings were giving me. The OT part I am reading is in Deuteronomy. Moses is preparing to die and the Israelites are preparing to cross over to the promised land. The part that really caught my attention yesterday was that Moses was to write down a song for the Israelites so that they and their children would remember what the Lord had done for them in the past and also how the Israelites had disobeyed God and the consequences of their many disobedience's. The main point for me was to "write it down" lest we forget how we have seen God's Hand at work.
This past weekend was totally unreal for Bob and I and we are shouting God's praises for the whole world to hear. This was the third week of chemo. Bob had had yukky side affects the first two weekends especially the second weekend (Easter) so we were prepared for the worst seeing that this was the week three accumulation. Long story short----very,very minimal yukky side affects, no bloating, minor cramping and minor neuropathy. We kept waiting until we were almost giddy----Praise God for His mercy. Oh me of little faith I waited until Bob came home from work last evening---Bob didn't have to come home early and didn't use his walking stick and didn't have any delayed side affects. So like Thomas I could now totally say: "My Lord and My God" you are alive, alive, alive (sounds like the song) and totally care about us and gave Bob's body relief from the drugs' negative affects. This next week is drug free. Bob is back to see the oncologist on the 17th and back on chemo Friday the 19th.
We totally know and appreciate the prayers of the so very many who are praying for Bob. God heard and answered your prayers and our prayers in such a real miraculous----hmmm---"sightful way" for us.
Now, I have recorded this time of mercy and know God's hand and so in times of doubt, fear and panic I will read this post and say "my God is faithful, He will never leave us or forsake us."
