ANOTHER GOOD REPORT

It has been about six weeks since I last wrote about what was going on with me physically, and now it is time for another report. Last Tuesday morning I had another 5 liters of fluid drained out of my abdomen (another 12 pounds, too) and it made me feel so much more comfortable. You can imagine all the pressure it put on my other organs, etc.

Then on Thursday went to the Doctor, and I’m glad to report that, other than the fluid buildup, everything was great. My vital signs were all okay, my lungs are clear, and she was very pleased – and surprised. Do not have to go back until Oct 30th – that’s 7 weeks. Isn’t that great?

Have to tell you, too, that one of my friends told me that God showed her that when they drained the fluid out, they were also taking the cancer cells out. And she did not know anything about my going to have the fluid drained on Tuesday. How is that for more confirmation? Don’t know how many more times that fluid will have to be drained, if any, but it is a comforting and encouraging word.

My Pastor often told us that “the truth is we walk in divine health, but the fact is that sometimes we have symptoms”. Guess we all need to remember that sometimes since everyone goes through times of having symptoms at one time or another. It is nice to know, though, that our God is in control and that He promises to always take us THROUGH these trials as He works in us to bring about His plans and purpose for our lives, even though we do not always understand.

It might be a while before the proof of this third miracle comes about – but just knowing that my family and so many of my friends are praying for me is such a comfort. And there are even friends of my daughter who have bit even met me that send me cards and loving messages. What a blessing that is.

God is so good and I give Him honor and glory for all He is doing in my life, and in the lives of my family and friends.

To finish, here is a poem the Lord gave to me that is a comfort to me, to my family, and I hope a comfort to every one who reads it.

BECAUSE YOU KNOW

Because you know your Saviour lives
You need not be afraid
For Jesus holds you in His hand
And your debt He has paid

That you not fear the future
But know that every day
He is your constant companion
And He will guide your way

For when you’re walking with Him
And listening to His voice
You will know His peace and love
And your heart will rejoice

He’ll give you every thing you need
To make it through each day
Living one day at a time
As He leads you His way

And even when the trials come
You know He’ll see you through
No matter what you’re facing
His grace He’ll give to you

As you surrender daily
That His plans you fulfill
Because you know He loves you
And that He always will
