It's Been A While

So it has been a while since I updated. The truth is, I just don't know what to write. This is a long process and we've been at it going on six months now.

Third chemo was last Thursday and it hasn't been easy, but we know it could be so much worse. So, we're trying not to complain although I miss my loving husband, his sense of humor and the feeling that we're moving along toward our goals in life.

It was nice to hear from several folks recently and nice to make some phone calls to catch up with a few folks this weekend. Pam's mom (you remember...she had the open heart surgery four days after John had his surgery) is energetic and active and has brought us some meals and Pam's dad has chopped up leaves. A neighbor brought some delicious vegetable soup, a friend cleaned out our gutters and we receive encouraging notes. As you can tell, we are loved.

With everything going on, we have of course not attended church but have relied on our TV church and even that can be sporadic. I think I needed to hear one of our favorite pastors when he said to be a witness no matter where you are. Because we're feeling stagnant and so caught up in John's medical needs, I often feel I am not much use at building the kingdom. Don't get me wrong, I know I'm doing what I am supposed to do, but I sometimes feel like something is missing. So, dear friend, I will just take the opportunity to say, if your commitment to God is lukewarm, or you have never made a commitment, or your priorities aren't what they should be; make a change. Accept Him wholly, trust in His word, examine where you're going, and serve wherever you are.

For God so loved the world, that He gave us His son, that we should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16.
