Small Gains

No, I'm not talking about your stock portfolio, although I suspect everyone would be happy just to have some small gains at this point!

The small gains we are seeing relate to John. They are frustratingly slow (mostly for him, but fercryinoutloud it has only been a little over seven weeks since chemo ended. Today he saw an orthopedist to get some help with strengthening his back and shoulder. He'll begin physical therapy on Friday. We felt it was best to have a specialist analyze the situation before humping into a PT regimen.

Unfortunately, we still haven't made it to a regular church service as John had a cold and painful cough last week, but hopefully this will be our week. I can't wait! We have been going to bible study on Monday's but John has to miss this past week as he just didn't feel very well.

My study is pretty awesome and I'm really enjoying getting to know the ladies at my table. I will share the following verses with you that have meant a great deal to me the past few weeks.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. 1 Corinthians 10:21

For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chronicles 16:9

The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still. Exodus 14:14

Small gains are still gains, dear ones. So glad it is going in the forward direction rather than back.

May God lead you to a place of full strength and renewal in His time.

Love you,
