Still FROGin

The chemo combination yesterday (Cytoxan & VP-16) was a bit harder on Carol, so I suggested that she sleep in a bit this morning and let me do the blog today for her. We are so greatly blessed by the wonderful medical people that we have. A combination of expertise and personal caring that is amazing and so much appreciated as we travel this unpredictable road.

The Psalmist in Psalm 84 (The Message) says:

“…how blessed all those in whom you (God) live,
whose lives become roads you travel;
They wind through lonesome valleys, come upon brooks,
discover cool springs and pools brimming with rain!”

We can certainly relate to those verses. We have encountered valleys, but have also come upon brooks and springs of blessing along the road that continue to encourage us as we travel on. God is so good! And we are so thankful for each one of you that He has brought into our lives.

Yesterday Carol and I read in Indeed: “We can become extremely self-absorbed in a trial. We see how it will impact us, we pray for deliverance from it, and we obsess about how to work ourselves out of it. But we often become blind to God’s larger purpose. Our trials, though they seem like disasters to us, may be God’s means for bringing honor to His name.”

It is our prayer that we will glorify our wonderful God as we continue along the road that He lays out for us. Might His larger purpose be accomplished through our lives.

Chemo again today at 1:00 PM. Thanks for your love and prayers!

Love,

Chuck…and Carol too
