All is Well

So, Ryan's fever is gone and he is feeling better. His stomach still feels a little sick, but he has been going to work and stuff. He flew yesterday and he is on duty today. And I have not gotten sick!! - thank you for all the prayers. Last night, we went for a run along the beach and then went out to dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants. It was nice. Today, I have to finish writing my input for my OER (Officer Evaluation Report). I'm having a hard time figuring out what I've done the past six months BESIDES fight cancer, lol, and I'm not even allowed to mention that. And Ryan is at work right now working on the same thing, when he's not flying.

It seems like this week flew by - I can't believe I have chemo again on Monday. The good news is I am down to 3 remaining treatments (if everything looks good on my next PET/CT scan)!! And more good news - Ryan and I are going to Lake Tahoe next weekend to celebrate our anniversary!!! We are going to try out our new snowshoes and probably some cross-country skiing too. I am excited!

I hope you all are having a wonderful New Year! God is truly and always good!

Hello precious one! I want you to know that I still read your blog, and I think of you often and continue to lift you up in prayer.

As I have prayed for you, I sensed I was to ask God to provide some "tools" ... "sharp pieces" that would minister to you at the right time and in the right way. I did not receive the "tools" until this morning. :)

What I sense I am to encourage you to do is to listen to two songs. One song is to be an "anthem of victory and celebration." The song is, "Mighty to Save." It is on the album, "Mighty to Save," and the artist is "Hillsong." I sense you are to listen to this song often.

The other song is a "prayer of focus." Its title is "Center," by Charlie Hall. It is on the "Flying Into Daybreak" album. I sense you are to allow the words of this song to sink deep into your inner-being and that the words would become a "renewed and fresh passion for the time."

Also, this morning, I was reading an excerpt from gold medal Olympian Scott Hamilton's book, "The Great Eight." I read the excerpt at: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/28505633/from/ET/

While reading this excerpt, I really sensed there is a fresh word in there for you. I sense the author's words will be used by God to spur you on and give you a timely and refreshing boost, as you continue to press in, press on, and press through.

Enjoy!

Blessings & Joy in Believing ~

I remember you two snowshoeing at the lake - with the antique shoes off the wall. They survived and so did you. Have lots of fun at Tahoe - take lots of pictures.
We have tons of snow - I had to wear my snowshoes today to get to the burn barrel. And the scouts are coming this weekend to ski.They'll be amazed at the piles.
Love you, Gahgee

Hi Christie,
We have been thinking about you and praying for you throughout this....adventure!? You have been quite an inspiration as you have shared your heart on this journey. Your nearness to God and confidence in Him is so evident. Be assured of our continued prayers ( I will continue to pray Psalm 34 for you!) and our eagerness to celebrate with you in April!
Love, Ana and all the Perrys
