First Day of Chemo






Today was mom’s first day of chemo…

I pray for a healing touch from our heavenly Father, just one touch of His glory to rain down upon His child. I thank God for His Sovereignty. God has total control over His creation. He knows all things…He knows my mothers weaknesses and will make her stronger in her obedience to Him. I pray that as her body is fragile her spirit is strong in the name of Jesus. I don’t questions God’s plan in my mom’s illness, what I want to know is how can I glorify God through this experience. I see His goodness and I can’t help but feel blessed, like today when I was praying for mom at the cancer center and a heard a sweet soft voice like and angel say “Yes Jesus” and I felt the power of Jesus and the room was filled with His Spirit. When we finished praying I looked over to see the nurse on her knees holding mom’s hand. It was such a tender moment and I thank God for giving us the gift of new friendships.

Mom and I shared our devotional and bible time as she was receiving her treatment, may the truth of His words and the spirit in which I spoke bring freedom to those who were listening, whether that have been the people to the left or right or those working in the facility. May the seeds be planted!

Mom is feeling pretty good, she is a little light headed and dizzy but she doesn’t feel nauseous. Praise the Lord!

Mom tried on some wigs as she was waiting, when I walk in I had to do a double take and then I realized it was mom. My heart breaks for her because I know that this will probably be the most difficult for her. I will be setting up an appointment for her to get a fitted wig, the nurse told us in about 2 weeks her hair will start falling out and it will come out in large amounts.

Everyone at the cancer center is so nice…they made mom feel better.

Mom has God’s mighty power to help her through this, miracles happen to those who believe!

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.


Isaiah 40:29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.


Ephesians 6:10-12 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

I am never sure what to write, but I do want Mary Jane and everyone in her family to know I am thinking of all of you. I also think any woman would find it difficult to lose her hair. It defines our looks and our femininity. It will be a new look with a wig, but hey, maybe go blonde!!!
All kidding aside, take care, and I hope your chemo is successful.
Love,
