There is a part of me that is definitely not looking forward to next week, and yet there is a part of me that is very excited about the healing that is to come. Right now I'm bouncing around a bit in my head between fear and strength. I guess that is pretty normal. I've been going like gangbusters to ready my house, and get all my "stuff" done, so I can 'not think' about my to do list for awhile. One thing I do know from this journey so far. It is that the support, both in prayer, and in notes, and physically, of friends and family is absolutely hugely important to me and my handling of this situation in which I find myself. This certainly was not anything that I had planned for my summer, or any other time... My Bible is glued to my side most of the time now. It truly is God's living, breathing Word. I find my most comfort there. God tells me in Deuteronomy 31:8, "Do not be afraid. The Lord will go before you and will be with you. He will not fail nor forsake you." And in Jeremiah 30:17, He says, "For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, saith the Lord." How amazing to know that He has already visited my operating room, and will be there during my operation, and will not leave me. I have known for a long time, that when life gets very difficult, and you have reached the bottom of the rope, He is below you holding you up. He is always there. And that's a very good thing, as Martha Stewart would say.

Mrs. Belin- that is just the most beautiful blog i've ever read. I am so thankful that you are going to be such an amazing gift and vessel for Jesus, showing God's magnificent power in your life and over this cancer-- to each and every doctor and nurse and fellow patient you come into contact with throughout these next few months. His Light shines through you so brightly in this otherwise dark night. Thank you for being an incredible example. I'm in complete awe!
