Healing

I found out last week that the tumors in my liver are either dead or dying. I went to a specialist, a radiation oncologist, who told me that he thought my “liver was healed.” I couldn’t believe my ears! I still have 4 tumors in my liver, but he said that by studying the C.T. scans he believed that the tissue right up next to the tumors is healthy. That means the cancer is not infiltrating into my liver and that is awesome news. I will still have to continue chemotherapy because there are still probably many cancer cells floating around in my body, but as long as I am able to tolerate the toxic side effects of the chemo, I need to stay the course.

Since 2006 began, life has really become busy. Last week I started leading a class called “Experiencing God” on Sundays, went to the aforementioned doctor on Monday, had a chemo treatment on Thursday, worked on a speech for the woman’s fellowship this Friday, organized two birthday parties, worked on casting over 100 people for our upcoming Easter Pageant, and stepped up studying for the Ph.D. entrance exam which is this coming Monday.

In a earlier blog entry I mentioned that I took the M.A.T. as part of the application process for the Ph.D. program. Well, I am going forward on that. The last part of the application is a full day of essay exams about theology and philosophy. I have 9 books to read and study and I must admit that I feel a more than a little behind at this point. In fact as I am writing this I am feeling the pressure to wrap it up and get back to studying. But I just wanted to let you all know what is new and praise God for what He has done and is continuing to do.

Thank you for your prayers. God is hearing and answering. He is faithful.
