You make everything glorious - even cancer

It is Sunday afternoon and I'm enjoying the sounds of my husband snoring just a few feet away. Life is good. My first chemo treatment was Thursday morning. Actually, I should back up to before the treatment. John and I had to be at the surgery center at 6:30am on Thursday so they could put my port in. I don't know if I had not been paying attention or if I just didn't realize, but it came as a surprise that I would have to be put out for this procedure. Let me just take this chance to tell you that God sure is one smart God. I was so groggy after coming out of the port procedure that I didn't even have one second to get anxious or nervous for the chemo treatment that followed immediately after. I could not have planned that better if I had tried!


The chemo went fine, very routinely. We laughed, played games, talked to those walking through the hallway and had a good time. All in all it took about three hours. Since then I have been doing a lot of relaxing and sleeping. Some very good and dear friends of mine got me some great pajamas so I can be lounging around in style! I am so happy to report that I have had no nausea! Thank you everyone for the prayers on this!! I am feeling much better today than the last few days. I have done some things around the house and am feeling much more energized, praise the Lord!


Because music is such a huge part of my life, I pray that God will put the right song in my head during times where I need to know that He is near. Over the past four days (actually longer than that) the same song has played over and over. I want to share it with you now. The link below is to a youtube site where you can listen. I pray that all of you will be blessed as I am by the truths expressed in this song.


The day is brighter here with You
The night is lighter than it's hue
Would lead me to believe
Which leads me to believe


You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours

What does that make me?

My eyes are small but they have seen
The beauty of enormous things
Which leads me to believe
There's light enough to see that


You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours


From glory to glory
You are glorious, You are glorious
From glory to glory
You are glorious, You are glorious
Which leads me to believe
Why I can believe that


You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours.

  2. Jenny -- so thankful that you're feeling better and more energized; and no nausea, what a praise. Sure was praying hard for you on Thursday, and will continue to do so.
    John's post from the hair-cutting ceremony absolutely blew me away. God has certainly blessed you with an amazing husband!
    Love the Crowder song you've had going through your head the last few days. YOU certainly ARE glorious in your faith, your heart and your attitude! Another Crowder lyric I love is "letting go is the better grip" from Forever & Ever ("I am yours forever and ever and ever and ever...).
    Hope you're sleeping well as I write this and hope tomorrow you feel even better!
    Love, love, love, love --Aunt Lisa

  4. Hi friend,
    I was laying in bed, flipping the channels and stumbled onto Beth Moore on Channel 40. She was speaking on "Do the thang....Do it with Courage" and I thought of you.
    She said that God knows it is a scary thing to be us. That we are to go ahead, showing courage even before we feel it. That our feelings will catch up to our actions.
    I see this in you as you walk through this refining time. Christ in you. Courage and great veauty as He molds you to resemble His Son.
    ily.
