Wow, another month has flown by and I haven't posted in a while.

Life has been challenging lately.   In the past month I've dealt with kidney stones and a UTI.   I got over that and two weeks later I had a bladder infection.   Those were pretty tough because in the midst of it all, I was reliving what happened last year this same time.  I found myself really struggling to fight off being depressed on top of being sick with the infections.   I had to take two rounds of antibiotics so that made my irritable bowel syndrome flare up.   I felt like I was getting knocked down every time I could stand up.   I finally relented and asked for prayer.   I knew I couldn't pull myself out of the depths of depression without God and my faithful prayer warriors.   God always knows who we need to have for strength and support.   We can count on Him supplying people in real life who will love us and pray us through the storms of life.    He is faithful like that.  :-)

I had my regular followup appointment with my oncologist.   He continues to be pleased with my progress.   He spoke words of life and truth to me that day straight from the Lord.   I had shared with him the past two months of trials and frustrations.   He was very comforting as well as encouraging.   I felt much better having talked to him and getting some new perspective on life.

So, I am pressing on, moving forward, step by step, walking by faith, trusting in Him and His plan for our lives.   I'm so glad He is in control and that I don't have to worry about the "what ifs".   I'm so glad I can cast those onto Him.   All He desires is for me to spend time with Him, seeking His direction, getting to know Him better, trusting in Him, and walking by faith.

May our days be filled with joy as we seek after Him -
