Mom had her last radiation treatment on Tuesday. The nurses came in her room with a balloon and an angel teddy bear clapping and singing congratulations for the completion of her radiation. The cancer center is so sweet! She has no fever, although they took blood work from her to check her red & white blood count, just to make sure there’s no infection anywhere. If she has a fever again; she can take Tylenol and if it gets past 101-102, she will have to be seen; until then Mom doesn’t go back for three weeks! It will be a nice rest for all of us.
I put some Christmas lights upstairs so she has something Christmassy to look at. She didn’t want a tree because of the cat. There really pretty…
I had to go upstairs to put laundry away tonight and I found mom crying again…God is so awesome. He gave us a special moment together. We cried and we prayed and the angels are rejoicing. My mother is saved! My eyes are filled with tears of happiness and my heart is filled with thankfulness. God confirmed it when mom saw the reflection of the Christmas lights on the TV screen in the sign of a cross with Jesus wrapping His arms around her. The Holy Spirit was all over me…I want to write about what was all said but it was so…powerful. I can’t find words to express what took place. It was total God doing what He does best, allowing Him to do His work and to TRUST.
Mom asked me tonight to forgive her for not always being the mother she should have been and even though that came to pass a long time ago, I believe she needed to know that she was forgiven. And I needed her forgiveness too. Thank you Jesus!
Aunt Sharon, Aunt Charlene, and family, please let your hearts be overwhelmed with great joy, mom will be going home to be with Jesus. I have no doubt anymore. Please continue to be in constant prayer for her relationship with Jesus to grow stronger during this time. We talked about our sin, we talked about God’s grace, we talked about hope and we cried a lot. Mom was speaking words of a believer, it was amazing!
Mom was worried that her kids will fight after she's gone but I reassured her that God has used this time to draw us closer and she needed to hear that Connie was going to be ok. And she will. God uses hardships to draw us closer to Him and one another. I can seeing God working in so many area's and in so many dynamics.
Praise God!
Oh...my son Nick received his drivers licence today!
Joel 2:32 Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. There will be people on Mount Zion in Jerusalem who escape, just as the Lord has said. These will be among the survivors whom the Lord has called.
