I know ...it's been a LONG time since I posted - I wonder if anyone is still reading this...anyway, here are some updates....
First the good news. We moved on Saturday and we love living in our new place. We had lots of awesome help and the move went really quick - thanks everybody. I feel really blessed that we are able to live here! And we actually have a guest bedroom now so all you out-of-towners should come visit us in beautiful Pacifica =)
Now the not so good news. We met with the radiation doctor on Monday, and he said I will have to have radiation. And they will wait until after my chemo is done (which I found out is not until the end of February). And it will be every day Monday through Friday for a month!!!!!! That does not sound fun. Now I'm looking at April before this is all over. Blah...
So, I feel like I've had kind of a rough week. Do you ever feel like you have everything under control, and then all of a sudden it's all crashing down on you and you just want it to all be over (just to clarify, I mean my current struggle, not life itself - nobody panic)?? And it takes a lot of effort just to get out of bed in the morning and get through the day. But, I am getting through the day and I know God is still taking care of me.
Tuesday morning, I was reading in Psalms and I was touched by Psalm37. My life verse is Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
But there are some awesome promises in the rest of the Psalm too. Here are some that struck me:
"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday." v. 5
"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him, fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way; over the man who carries out evil desires!" v. 6
"But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace" v.11
"The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way, though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand. " v. 23-24
"I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing." v. 25-6
"The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord, he is their stronghold in times of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him." v. 39-40

Dear Christie,
No, that definitely does not sound like any fun at all! I'm sorry that this race is turning out to be longer than expected. You're so right to recognize that God will be there with you through this entire process, though. We will be too! And on days when everything is crashing down, we'll make sure to bring out some umbrellas :-)
Love you,
Sarah <><

Boy, that was a good news, bad news report, but somehow you find the courage and God's insight to keep going. One day at a time - some are better than others - but is there another way? Keeping you both in prayer. So excited for you to have a whole house. Really great. Love you, Gahgee
So good to hear from you again! Congratulations on your move, too...how exciting! Hang in there, you have so many people praying for and thinking about you. God is good...and certainly: "He will give you the desires of your heart"!
Blessings and love,
Daphne
