The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength. Are you asking God to give you life, liberty, and joy? He cannot, unless you are willing to accept the strain. And once you face the strain, you will immediately get the strength. Oswald Chambers.
Tough week for me. But I’m grateful that Terry’s family came over for a few days. I thank you for your prayers so much! God is good and faithful and when we least expected he’ll send a blessing. My health has been up and down. I’ve been tired and my eyes have given me a little trouble. So I can’t walk too far (I’m using the treadmill). So I have to hang on to the arms on the treadmill which makes me feel weak and old . So I walk ten minutes, slow down a bit and then pick up speed again. My goal is 30 minutes and so far I’ve been able to do so. You guys are thinking I’m nuts, but its fun. I take my time and listen to Christian music or watch a favorite show.
I’ve visited the oncologist yesterday for chemo. Now you guys are wondering. What? Chemo, again? Well, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. I am done with head chemo for a while. Apparently no cancer cells showed in the last lab work they did of my head. YAY! So that means that Dr. F feels we can take a brake from the head chemo and work on the rest of my body. So now we will do weekly chemo. If you have any questions, please let me know, but right now I need to walk while I have some energy. Thanks again for your prayers
Blessings to you all,
Doris
ps:My sisters came to visit yesterday and it was fun having them here. They make me laugh. Thank God for blessings like family.
Im glad you are enjoying walking whether it be on the treadmill or not. Your perseverance to walk is amazing to me. I guess that is the sign of a true runner. I don't enjoy exercise, only do it (somewhat) for health reasons. I do like the part of listening to Christian music while walking though. That keeps my brain busy thinking about something else while I make my body submit.
ReplyDeletePrayers continue to be spoken for you. That is so good to hear that you don't need the chemo in your head for now. Blessings my friend.
