Lymph Journal # 20


1/27/2012

I didn’t think I’d be posting today between the physical and mental funk that accompanied the last chemo treatment.  But today is amazing. I’ve done three loads of laundry (stairs included), walked outside for 45 minutes, cooked Diane and myself breakfast (not necessarily in this order), paid 13 medical bills online, downloaded and largely completed my 2011 U.S. tax forms, and glued a broken toothbrush holder.  Last round I spent this day staring at he walls.  I give God the glory as he has called so many to pray.  I still have no idea how prayer works in this situation but in God’s crazy economy it just does.  Feel like today I’m walking on holy ground.  Thank you all who have and are lifting us up through this.

You've done way more than I have today (I still have the afternoon to go but I'm not going to beat you!). If I fall behind I'll send you some laundry to fold. ;)
And you're welcome.

"This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Thy faithfulness." (Lam. 3:21-23) I'm glad to hear that you had a good day today.

Just want you to know, Russ (and Diane) that Jane and I are following from afar (western suburbs of Chicago) and praying for you both. It is a joy follow along and see your authentic walk with God in the midst of it all.
Praying for grace and peace and joy in Jesus for you...
