Journal entry by K Oliver —
Sorry...I wanted to share my pre chemo dinner. My sweet sister and brother-in-law took us to Bare Bones for dinner. My sister reserved a table upstairs in front of the window. We got to watch the sunset and it was beautiful. I love when God paints a beautiful masterpiece throughout the sky using such vibrant colors. He used a lot of pink on this particular night. We also got to see the train go by twice. Seems trivial, but really cool in that setting. The dinner and service were amazing, and the company was as well. God even took it a little further though. We had this sweet young waitress named Seema. She took really good care of us. She was friendly, had a great sense of humor, was attentive, and you could tell that she has a sweet heart. When she brought the bill to the table, she delivered a cheesecake to the table. She asked who was getting chemo. She then handed me the bag and said that she knew I was going to be fine, because God is with me. WOW!
Then yesterday after chemo, I came home to rest. I had a 4:45 hair appointment with Jennifer. She has been cutting my hair for a long time. She washed my hair scrubbed and massaged my hair before cutting and styling my hair. She did a great job. When I walked to the counter to pay, she said that it was on her, because she just wanted me to feel good. WOW!
Wait... there is more. Today a sweet friend asked if there was anything that I needed while she was out. Sarah told her some Pepcid. She dropped it off along with New Years Eve celebration in a bag. WOW!
I call these my rainbows. These are not coincidental encounters. Since the day that my diagnoses was announced, people have so lovingly reached out to help in some way. From the prayers, hugs, laughs, jokes, words of encouragement, guidance, gifts, meals, treats, bracelets. T-shirt’s, flowers, and etc... I am so grateful. All the people He has strategically put upon my path are just testimonies of his promises. I am thankful to each one of you that He has chosen to be on my path of this journey. You all are amazing and bring such joy to my life, and my my family’s life during this time. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you...for loving on us.
