Friends
I had my 4th shot on Tuesday this week. My blood levels dropped back down again, so i have to be more careful about being around sickness. I'm now 1/2 way thru my HiDose shots! So far fatigue & nausea have been the worst side effects, along with some constipation & cramps. I guess i'm experiencing a little bit of what women have to deal with all the time with the cramps. I've only lost 3lbs even tho my appetite is 1/2 what it usually is.
I've been having some swelling in my ankle this week. I just picked up my new compression hose that i'm supposed to wear every day, especially when i exercise. They're black! I have knee highs and full length if needed.
Thank you for all of your prayers! I'm confident that everyone's prayers are helping the treatments go as well as they've gone. As we get ready to start a new year i'm very thankful for how God has blessed me! I have an AMAZING God who helped catch my cancer before it spread out of my lymph nodes and i have a wonderful wife and 3 very special kids, an incredible church family and so many great friends!
I've been reading in the book of Luke lately and have been finding myself drawn to the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 in Luke 9. I'm struck by how God uses the little bit his followers had and did a miracle and provided more than they needed because Jesus trusted God to provide and thanked him ahead of time. I'm not sure what provision you need this coming year, but God is an abundant provider. I'm being challenged to trust God in new ways for BIG things!
Let's all live with faith & hope and show everyone how GREAT our God is this next year! As we do more people will turn their lives over to Christ!
Make it a GREAT NEW YEAR!

Pastor Fred,
ReplyDeleteMy brother, who recently acknowledged to me that he invited Christ into his life (praise GOD) had his gallbladder removed last Friday and he witnessed to all of the Doctors that he felt like it was a spiritual battle that Satan was trying to get him to curse GOD like in JOB over his pain and suffering but he said that battle is "WON", he isn't going to do it! He praised the doctors and medical staff that he puts his faith in them that they will do a good job in surgery. He was out of the hospital by Saturday! Glory to GOD!
I pray for strength and healing for you and your family as you go through this process. I pray for all the medical staff that you come in contact with.
GOD Bless!
