From Helen (May 15) - Praise the Lord - 7th day after first chemo

Hello all ,

The Lord has given me Psalm 139 to meditate on every morning of , every day. At  first glance , I really did not think of its relevance to me and my circumstance but today for the first time the Holy Spirit had gently nudged me to see  bird’s eye glimpse and a foretaste of how good it is to be searched and known by God!

What  I did not realize is that God is involved in the physiologic, biochemical , intracellular levels of our bodily functions. I have always thought that He is only involved in our spiritual realm. How awesome is that  to realize that He is involved up to the very core of our being at the DNA level! “ We are wonderfully and powerfully made “…

Today is day 7th after first chemo. Statistically, most of my blood count numbers will start plummeting and it was trending down at day 5 when I had the blood test done before I saw my Physician Assistant Amy.

The good news is, I am blessed with good appetite, good night rest, less stress from work , overwhelming support , inundated with God’s hands and feet showing up at every corner; thoughts and prayers expressed in beautiful cards, text and phone calls…. everyday ….. I am beginning to feel breast cancer is a GIFT from God  and I dare not waste it….

The only thing I am struggling with now is my vision  it is a bit blurry and because of it , my balance is also off. This is the reason why I have this very infrequent update. Physical vision may be off but spiritual vision is crystal clear…. God is on to something. Please pray that I don’t ever miss the opportunity to serve and glorify Him .   

Grateful,
Helen
