Hey Everyone...

Well I'm one treatment closer to being done... yeah!! This one hit me longer and harder, (physically and emotionally), and the anti-nausea medication I was on wrecked havoc on me for a while, (I'll take something else next time). But, I feel better now and I'm learning to deeply appreciate when I do feel good. I also battled a cold/slight fever for a couple days, but am now gaining more strength.

I was reminded this week that at all times I ought to pray and not to lose heart (Luke 18:1)... God always hears and answers our prayers, (not always how we want Him to, but always as is best for us). Those of you who have "kept watch" with me like the disciples will never know how deeply you have touched me. God will honor your faithfulness and I count myself honored to be held up in prayer by you. Prayer is a powerful thing. The ways God changes us as we pray is sometimes more significant than how He answers our prayer. I have been changed by both your and my own prayers.

I can't believe it has been 4 months since this all began. So much can happen physically, emotionally and spiritually in such a small amount of time. It has made me wonder what God would do if I was so attentive to Him and His will for me for the rest of my life. Only God knows, but I'm excited to find out!!!

Next treatment is Oct. 14th.

Love to you all, Linnea
