Awesome God: Reminder in Song

A week or so ago, I transferred downloaded songs from my computer's iTunes as well as some of my CDs I have to my iPod mini.  I have/had an Mp3 Sansa player but it's about on its last leg and my brother in law gave me their iPod mini a couple of years ago to hold on to in case I would want it or need it.  I'm sure I'll find more Worship/Hymns CDs to add to my iPod!  I enjoy worship music and love listening to it and singing it.  I have collected a lot of those CDs along the years, before iPods came along or even MP3s became available!

Listening to my iPod and the worship songs has become a big staple in my daily life right now.  It has become one of my means and ways of worship and devotion, especially times when I'm not feeling well physically and emotionally.  Today, I was listening to the songs on my iPod, when I heard a song come up....a song I know very well.  A song, I haven't heard for a long while, yet I know by heart....a song that brought back memories about how I first heard about this songwriter and singer.   A song that made me realize today, that indeed Our God is An Awesome God:

I remember it so clearly. I was getting to know a group of other Christians at Blue Ridge Community College; we were gathering to study the Bible.  I was getting introduced to a whole new realm of Worship Songs other than the Trinity Hymnal and Awesome God was the first
song that was introduced to me and I loved it.  When I heard Rich Mullins died. I was flabbergasted...everyone in the Bible study was crying.  Instead of having a Bible Study, we prayed for the family members.

............But this is not why I write this post.   I heard this song today.  Oh, how it reminds me of the glory of God that is now and that is yet to come!  The pain is now but the newness that is to come. The darkest days and nights but the light that is yet to come! The deafness now, but the hearing of the bells and trumpets that is yet to come! WOW! How AWESOME is that??...no,wait, HOW AWESOME IS GOD?????? It was this song, that just reminded me of the things that are yet to come and the awesome-ness of our God, the Creator of things that are past, present and future.

Praise be to God!

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...
