Rise with healing in His wings

After a slow start this week, my energy started rising daily and today I was able to do some gardening, exploring and revelling in the beautiful, warm day.  

On Thursday, after checking into the HIgh River hospital and sitting in the cancer clinic, I was given a formula to drink with a contrast dye after hours of fasting. Getting this 1.5 liter jug of liquid was equivalent to diving into shark infested waters. (Just kidding but....) Where, oh! where was a good cup of coffee? Yes, I can actually enjoy about 1/2  cup of filtered coffee now. Wonderful! 

  
An hour later, the deed was done. In the meantime, I was surrounded by the company of those dear and cancer patients with encouraging stories to tell. It amazes me continually how those afflicted have such strength and courage. You know, amidst pain there is joy. 

"You are with me..." God's promises bring comfort, this I know. Thank You Father for what you mean to me, for without You, I would be lost, nothing, and forlorn. 

"Let the morning bring me word 

of Your unfailing love, 

for I have put my trust in You.  

Show me the way I should go,

for to You I lift up my soul." Ps. 143:8

After entering the scanning room, and laying on this huge white slab of hard plastic, peeping up into this massive revolving, penetrating, and scrutinizing machine, I felt You there so strongly. Peace...be still...  This scan will show results. Results of what God has been doing within my abdomen mass and ovaries. 

I KNOW THAT I AM HEALING!  This is something I am so sure of. So, let the scanning machine do it's job -- because next week it will be known. 

All is done -- A quick return to the clinic to disconnect from tubes and needles meshed into my body and while there, more good news is shared. What a day!  My CA125 (tumour marker) blood count has dropped -- from 5000+ down to 247. This is so, so amazing! Wow! I am very encouraged and again it shows that positive progression is in process. 

My spirit rejoices and feels Your presence so strongly. You are a wondrous God and give your children good things. 

I am in anticipation for the doctor's visit next week because I know that healing is there. 

"But for you who fear My name, 
the Sun of Righteousness will rise 
with healing in His wings.
And you will go free, leaping with joy
like calves let out to pasture."  Malachi 4:2
