I've heard the term "Living With Cancer". I couldn't apply that to myself. I wasn't fighting cancer in my body like some. I'm now accepting that term for myself--not in a defeatist way--in a proactive way. This is the plan God has for me. It's not what I would have chosen for myself, but I want to know what God means for my purpose in this. This blog is my journey and testimony of God's faithfulness each step of the way. "Let my lifesong sing to You"

First day, again
Well, I started my radiation treatments today...with The Mask. Three years ago when I had radiation that involved the mask, I listened to Lifesong and Praise You In This Storm everyday on my way to my treatments. I truly wanted my lifesong to sing to Him, to be a good witness. I have to say this mask thing really tries me on that. I want to have a good attitude about it, but I truly hate that thing. I don't want this to be what I take in with me everyday in front of these technicians. They are nice enough, but it's a job and they have the next patient waiting. As hard as it might be for me to deal with this, I don't want that to be the attitude they see from me every day. I posted a blog earlier today with a song that was on the radio when I was going back to work after the treatment. Two lines in the song jumped out at me: "You comfort those in need, You lift us up on wings like eagles." The whole song is timely telling me "Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord." At this point I don't know just how that strength will be there for me tomorrow, but I know I have a lot of people praying for me in my need, and God knows that need and He will surely meet it for His glory.
