Racing Down the Back Stretch

Today's treatment down, only two to go... we can see the final turn just out ahead of us!!! It is hard to believe we are nearing completion of the first part of Michelle's treatment regimen. Though she will continue on the Herceptin for the remainder of one year, soon we will be able to leave Taxol behind!! Praise the Lord for that even now!!!

Michelle did really well today during treatment; all her counts were good apart form her white count being a little low but not low enough to cause concern in the least. Praise Him for that! She is still having hot flashes and some neuropathy but, all in all, she is continuing to tolerate the treatment very well which is CLEARLY an answer to all the prayers being lifted up on her behalf. Thank you!!!

It was so quiet at the Cancer Center and we were able to just hang out and talk with each other, as well as the nurses. It was nice to have that time, especially after the last week or so of being very busy. We talked a lot about buying a house and what to do on that front; we made some decisions and have now begun to take steps to see what the Lord will do! We are trusting Him for EVERYTHING; how difficult can it be to make available to us just the right house for a God who can create ("bara"- create absolutely) something from nothing??!!

"Lord, You have been our dwelling place (refuge) in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God
. " (Psalm 90:1-2,NKJV)

"The earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.
For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters
. " (Psalm 24:1-2, NKJV)

Isn't it great to know that God?! Be encouraged this day by the knowledge that the Eternal God, the One who is from everlasting to everlasting, who created the earth and all that exists, LOVES you and knows your name...hmmm, reminds me of a worship song!

Continue to pray for us and all that is going on... we are continuing to pray for you all! We love you all dearly and can't wait for the next time we can tell you that face-to-face! - Steve and Michelle -

Howdy! I know this is sort of off-topic but
I had to ask. Does operating a well-established website such as yours
require a large amount of work? I'm brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my journal on a daily basis. I'd like to start
a blog so I can easily share my own experience and feelings online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for brand new
aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
