Today is a very exciting day! Lori has finished her last chemo treatment!! Now we must pray that she bounces back from this treatment quickly so she can be ready to start school next Wednesday. Also, Lori will begin radiation treatments soon. Please continue to pray for her and her family as she continues to recover!!! I'm sure going back to work will be difficult, but selfishly I'm THRILLED!!!! God has done and continues to do amazing thing in Lori's life. We serve an AMAZING God!!!
As I think about this journey, I am reminded of this verse in Genesis. "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." (Genesis 50:20 NIV).
The devil is always trying to render us useless. But in this situation, the opposite occurred. Lori (and her family) grabbed on to that "troubled grace", and they triumphed together with God's help. Just as Joseph did in Genesis. His brothers sold him into slavery, then Potiphar’s wife plotted to destroy him when he refused to commit adultery. Still, God has a plan. God used Joseph to feed his family, his country, and others in surrounding countries. I guess that really proves that I can TRUST God no matter what! Jeremiah 29:11 says, " For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
So let's celebrate Lori's last day of chemo, and stay tuned to what His plans are for all of us!!!
Now, we have a race to run.............
