Once again, my tumor markers dropped another 400 points!! Thats over 800 points in less than two months!
Needless to say, I am overwhelmed and humbled by God‘s, grace and mercy, as well as the powerful prayers of all of you interceding for me and my family. There is no doubt prayers are a huge part of this miraculous drop.
Physically, I have fatigue and a lot less endurance on the week of Chemo, and I’m still having some pain in my hip, but not as frequent.
God also heard your prayers while we were at the beach with 27 family members. Other than going to bed at 8:30, I was able to enjoy the days and felt well. It was an incredible vacation and the first time since 2000 that we had all been together. Quite a few have been added since then. I don’t take for granted the unity of our family. Who else can say 27 family members in one house get along well. God was
the center and the Holy Spirit filled us with grace for each other.
Emotionally, I have questioned “Why me?” There are so many others who are suffering more than me. Prayers are being said,
yet their disease or suffering gets worse. Survivors Guilt. Its hard to watch.
Peter said “Friends, when life gets really difficult, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.”
1 Peter 4:12-13 MSG
All of us suffer. It’s inevitable. It’s how we respond and Who we depend on during these times that matters. As for me, I’m not the “perfect Christian” who never complains or questions God’s ways. Like I wrote back in August, “I Know….But”, my mind can go back and forth between accepting God’s ways.
I’m thankful that He continues to reveal His truth and is long suffering with me and He continues to refine me.
The ultimate goal for me is to live for and like Christ.
I continue to pray God blesses each of you for your faithfulness in praying for me and my family.
I will continue to have monthly follow-ups and lab work and a PET Scan will be scheduled around the middle of August.
Great is His Faithfulness,
Jennie
