Joy

"You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety." Psalm 4:7-8
Im rejoicing tonight. actually this week was full of joyous times, and im blessed to share them with you. Pops had his PET scan monday, Tuesday got his PICC line and Thursday was his first dose of Chemo. Each appointment went so good. The tech who did his PET scan noticed he had a Calvary chapel men's conference shirt on and ended up praying together before the procedure. Then when he got his PICC line in, pops brought up God and how He has been his strength through all of this and the Rn performing the procedure used to go to CCWG, which is our church! God is so good, it was so encouraging that even though I couldn't be with him during his appointments, God was providing comfort for him through these people. and thursday was the best day of them all. after reviewing his PET scan the Dr. decided to change his chemo plan. Originally he was to get chemo for 7 weeks, one week off, then 3 weeks, then a week off then 3 again and one off and so forth.... his new schedule is 3 weeks on, one off x 3 and then another PET scan to see how we're doing. This is great news because the PET scan revealed awesome results and he hasnt even had treatment until this thursday. GOD IS HEALING him of his ailments and i know its because of all of my faithful friends and family who have continually LOVED us through prayer during this time. Prayer changes things and Im in awe of what God has done already through this trial. He continually amazes me day by day, im amazed. Lord how marvelous you are!!! So, thank you for praying, thank you for loving us, thank you for being encouraging to me and to my dad. WE LOVE YOU. My dad loves you and is forever grateful. PS... if you havent added him on facebook please do it! because he updates pretty much daily, on his progress and he would love to be your friend especially if you have been praying for him.
