PRAISE! My 18 weeks of chemo is COMPLETE!! No “mo” chemo! 🙂
PRAISE! The worst of the side effects of this final round of chemo seem to be over and I’m feeling better every day.
PRAISE! The results of the MRI were remarkable. All that appeared were the tags they had inserted during the initial biopsy. An ultrasound confirmed there is NO SIGN OF TUMOR!!!
PRAISE! Surgery has been scheduled for Thursday, October 1 and I have a complete peace about the details of this surgery. I will try to make another post with details.
PRAISE! God continues to use this cancer journey in a powerful way in my own life: revealing sin, refining me, and allowing me to come to a deeper heart knowledge of who God is and His character.
I am so grateful for each of you who take time to pray for me. We have been overwhelmed by your love and support for me and our entire family. We appreciate each expression of love, and every comment and message on Facebook, text, blog comment, and email. Please know I read every single one and God uses those words to uplift and encourage me!
Psalm 103
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
3 who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust.15 As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children’s children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
21 Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
22 Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Praising Him and rejoicing with you.
What wonderful news, Brooke! Continuing to pray for you on this remarkable journey.
Thankful for the wonderful news!!! God is good!!
Wonderful news. Praise The Lord!
I have been thinking of you throughout your journey. You pop into my mind at random times and I just always say, please let her be alright. You probably don’t remember me from high school so you might wonder why I’m keeping up to date on your well being. But, I just am blown away at your Amazing strength, grace, and sincere devotion to your faith. Many people in your position would turn against God and be angry at the situation. And I’m sure you’ve had your moments of anger. Nonetheless, your story is incredible and I’m inspired by you in so many ways. I pray to have just an ounce of your faith and I want you to know I think you’re amazing.
Warmly,
Michaela
