January 19, 2015 - Hair #2


Hair update. It is still, for the most part, on my head!  smile emoticon We will see how it's looking tomorrow! But I am done being worried about it. 
I can say that because of all our friends and family who encourage us and keep us covered in prayer. 
What I had anticipated as the "scariest" days of this journey - surgery, first chemo and watching my hair start to come out - have instead been days filled with peace and joy. Those are not feelings of this world and have nothing to do with what is going on around us. God is sovereign and He is our protector! I choose to focus on all the blessings - all the joy - of the past few months. 
There is something very liberating about facing the things you fear, then smiling and going on about your life. It is possible, with God's help, to do that. This has been a great day!
"The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." (John 10:10 NLT)
"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing." (James 1:2-4 NLT)
