I woke up this morning to an empty house. Kent had gone to play golf and it was just me and Lupe dog. It was the first time I really felt Satan trying to get to me with his negative thoughts. So I did what I know works, I sat down with a cup of coffee, my little dog, and the Word. The first thing I read was 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Be joyful always; pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” These little verses were what I needed to bring me back to the safe shelter of my Lord. In the last week I have clung to the words from Psalm 18: 2 which is “the Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliver; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
Today we went in for the results of all the tests that I have had this past week. My God is so gracious. As far as they can tell from the CAT scan the cancer has not gone beyond the colon. They will have to biopsy the lymph nodes when they do my surgery to tell for absolute but there is no sign of cancer in the other organs. The blood work also showed no markers for cancer so it is not in my blood stream. This is as good as the news can be today. Now we will move forward with surgery and all that entails. This does not mean any of you can stop praying. I know how great my God is, but I also know that “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” James 5:16.
So today the news was as good as it can be for today and I go back to Psalm 18:6 and read “In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.” We will continue to trust in His love and we will continue to keep you posted as we move forward in our journey. Janice
