Pray, Pray, Pray

We need lots and lots of prayers. Tomorrow I have a very important Pet Scan and we need to show progress with this new Chemo drug so that we can get ready for my transplant. I am nervous but find peace in scripture and prayer. Even if you have never prayed before in your life we need your help. Stacey and I fully believe that the power of prayer can change lives and we need all of you now more than ever.

I went to work yesterday and felt pretty decent. It always becomes hard to focus on other things when you have a Pet Scan coming up let alone one as important to my treatments as tomorrows is. I have found peace in this verse: If God is with us, whom shall be against us. It means that we are never alone in our lives. I also flipped on the Christian radio station today and the song that played was an uplifting one that said that the darkness is only temporary before the morning daylight comes shining through. It made me feel as if there are much better days ahead and that Stacey and I just need to keep on the path of faith that we have established.

Also a caller called into the radio station and talked about how she was recently diagnosed with lung cancer even though she never smoked a day in her life. The DJ asked her how she was able to keep the strength that she had even though she was in such a stressful situation. The caller said "It's because of my faith, we are all instruments for God." She went on to say that nothing is random and that there is a reason for everything. She said that maybe the reason she was put into this situation was to help others. I started to tear up on my way to work. It was exactly what I needed to hear. Here was someone in a very similar situation and she felt the same way I did.

Sometimes I'm very anxious about the future or what is too come but it's what we do with the time that we have that is what is important. The future has enough worry of it's own. We just need to focus on the things that we can control today. Starting with how we treat others and we all need to try our best to be instruments for God no matter what situation's we are in.

Everyday God is God,
