He Will Rejoice Over You..........

Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your Gid is in your midst; a might one who will save:
He will rejoice over you with gladness;
He will quiet you by His Love;
He will exult over you with loud singing.

Song from the Reawakening music CD from Community Worship; Written by Scott Wesley Brown and David Hampton:

He Will Rejoice Over You

The Lord our God,
Is with you.
He is mighty to save;
The Lord will take,
Great Delight in you;
He will quiet you with His Love

He will Rejoice over you,
He will Rejoice over you.
If you could only hear His voice,
You will hear the Lord rejoice;
Rejoicing over you,
Rejoicing over you,
Rejoicing over you,
With singing.

Today's sermon by Pastor Ken, cut my soul; It ministered to me. All of his sermon's blesses me; but today's sermon really ministered to me. He preached on Zeph 3:17. He focused on how much we need to trust in Jesus and that He's in control of everything. He controls things such as your health, your disability, your trials--EVERYTHING. I have in the past several weeks been growing restless and weary about things going on in my life from my health problems to my problems at work. I have not allowed myself to be quieted by God's love for me. I was so engrossed in my own self pity that I have forgotten that all things happen for a reason and for a purpose. Today's sermon was a great reminder for me to quiet my heart, and let God take care of things. I need to quiet my heart through totally relying on him and trusting him that He will provide for me and that everything in my life happens for a reason. God delights in his children when we trust in Him and lean on Him for everything. He will save us from the trials we go through. All we need to do is trust Him, focus on Him, and most importantly, be quieted by His love and really believe that God never leaves us or forsakes us!

Just some thoughts.

Decision, Goodbyes, True Healer

  EIGHT  MONTHS---REALLY? I n many ways, I can barely grasp that I have been on this chemo medication for 8 months already.   This means, I   had 9 visits with the oncologists, 9 blood draws,   4 ECHOs, 4 EKGS, 3 neuro-ophthalmology exams,   and 3 MRIs (related to my chemo drug—it includes initial baseline check, one in May, and one just recently on August 25 th which went much smoother).   I actually had a 4 th one but it’s unrelated to the chemo drug, but still related to my disorder).      If you remember from my previous posts, the chemo meds has been really hard on my body; there were so many times I really wondered how much longer I could endure the “fire” on my scalp, or the pain in my legs.    Back in July, the pain in my scalp, face started to get extremely bad.   After completing my 21 day cycle/28 day cycle, we noticed that even with my usual scheduled one-week break from the medication, my sores continued t...

Thankful for Pastors in our Midst----

It's past 2:45 AM and I'm still awake. I've been awake since 9a.m. without any naps which is unusual for me. I've been in my bed since 11pm and I can't seem to shut my mind off.  There's so much going on in my heart and my mind that I can't seem to just "turn off"  It has relatively little to do with the amount of physical pain I'm in tonight nor does it have little to do with upcoming medical procedures.  I just have a lot on my mind.  Some good things; some sad things; so praiseworthy things, some heart wrenching things, etc. Today for all you VA folks, know how blistering cold it was today; I have to be extra careful about not getting sick due to my low immunity; plus with my horrible pain scale today, I just couldn't make it to church.  I wanted to make it to either the early morning service or the Thanksgiving service my church had to night combined with the formal Installation Service of the official (should I say "dubbing??...

In My Need I Seek Your Help.......

There hasn’t been a huge change in things regarding my health since my last update/blog post.    My pain management doctor has tried a different form of non-steroid/non medication injection (for my abdominal pain) that seems to help some (to be explained later in the post).   It may need to take a few tries to see if this treatment works; that is, if I decide if I want to continue this kind of treatment.   As for my head pain and neck pain, my neurologist is doing all he can for now with medication therapy; and working along with my pain management doctor who is holding off other forms of treatment until he can slow down things with my abdominal pain.   In the meantime, I get some relief by going to my chiropractor/kinetic energy doctor in town.   I continue to be grateful for the doctors I have –those who are not giving up on me and trying very hard to try to find a solution to the cause of all this pain.   So far, my pain man...
