Journal entry by Katie Novickas —
8 rounds (16 weeks) of chemo…✅
6 weeks of radiation…✅
Scans and surgery in about 12 more weeks!… ___
Just checking things off my list! At first this all felt like a really daunting list of things to do, but Pastor Randy told me just take it one day at a time and that’s what I’ve done.
I’ve been grateful for each day that God has helped me get through this. For every day that God has helped me to not focus on cancer, but focus on living. For every day that I’ve still been able to work and for every Sunday that God has let me continue to minister to kids (I never missed one Sunday! And even got to share the love of Jesus with 407 kids on Easter, thank you Jesus!) The Lord has been my strength and I give Him all the glory through this!
“This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24
Thank you to all who have been such a support to our family: for the meals, sending your house cleaners, driving our kids around, etc. God sent us the most incredible village and we are so grateful!
And special shout out to @snovickas, the most amazing and supportive Daddy and Husband. You didn’t need one note from me on what to do while I was gone in Houston…you’re amazing and we all adore you! ❤️❤️
