A Good Week

This past week was great, and what made it so good was feeling healthy again. I always like my third week of my chemo cycle though! It really makes me look forward to when I don’t have to have a third week any more, but rather every week is even better than my third week. The highlights of my past week all are associated with the many great people I talked with over the phone, here at home, in restaurants, and at church. I had some really deep conversations as well as laughed a lot. But I thoroughly enjoyed each one.

The first week of my cycle is upon me again. I will be going to the hospital tomorrow and Lord willing will come back Tuesday afternoon; maybe even before lunch like the last time. I am tremendously blessed through the prayers of so many, which I am extremely humbled by and thankful for. As I go to the hospital tomorrow I will appreciate your prayers so much. Each time I go is a little nerve racking as I have a needle placed in my port through which drugs designed to destroy human cells and toxic outside of my blood stream are administered in hopes of wiping my body clear of cancer cells. I am thankful for this treatment and yet it still makes me uneasy every time. I consistently pray my chemotherapy goes as planned as well as kills many cancer cells. So far God has provided for me and I have the faith He will continue to do so.

May God bless you,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
I'm praying for you tonight that you have a strong body and clear mind...to stay focused on Jesus, and get through this week with grace. It reminded of the song "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus"...look full in his wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of his glory and grace. God's blessings to you, Nathan!

Hi Nathan, We finally figured how to get into your web and send a comment. Grandpa helped us figure out what to do. We think of you frequently and pray for your healing. Wed. was Elaine's prayer time and I prayed that God would help you through this three med. week.
Judi's husband Duane had a heart attack last week and had two stints put in the blocked area which was 99% blocked. This blockage was in the back of his heart. Perhaps your family can pray for his healing not only physically but also that he can establish a personal relationship with Christ.
Heard from Todd in Iraq. Funny story-Said he discovered what happens when one has to hang out wash. When he took in his gym shorts he discovered that a dirty bird thought his shorts were a good place to drop a present and had to rewash them. Love you and know that God has a plan and purpose for your life. Carl and Elaine

Nathan,
I was praying for you tonight, and reading in the Bible. I hope you're staying strong: physically, emotionally and spiritually. Lamentations 3:22 says "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.' The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. Let him sit alone in silence, for the Lord has laid it on him."

Nathan, no matter how alone you may feel, remember God's there! I can't imagine the pain and discomfort you're living with day after day. My prayer for you is that God will open up more and more opportuntities for you to spread His love as you come to understand His provision in a new way. God BLESS.

Nathan,
It has been a long time since I last posted. Just wanted to let you know that every Wedneday when I pray, I sense God's presence as healer, there are so many names we call God, and every Wedneday I call on the Great Healer...this week I used this prayer:
God, our healer, the one who listens to our hearts and enters in, the one who blesses us with the quiet of Your gentle presence and sustaining touch of Your Spirit, touch Nathan this week, (in tangible and intangible ways.) There is none like You! In the healing power of Jesus, the one whose hem of the garmet we reach out and touch, Amen

Take care, Pam
I even signed it this time :)
