I've been walking around the house this afternoon. Noticing everything with new eyes.
The air is cold and still, yet the snowflakes tumble down, lazily...resting on a bed of white. It's so quiet.
I can hear only the sound of God's voice.
I wondered what the purpose for this whole situation was....and He said, "I had everything under control"."What if you hadn't started to bleed? What if the cancer was not found? No one would have known about the intestines being so thin. They would have ruptured, and you could have died." "The cancer was just the beginning of your journey." "You still have a ways to travel, but I will be with you all the way through."
The doctor's final reports were awesome! The cancer hadn't penetrated too far into the uterine wall, so radiation isn't necessary...Praise God! The intestines are healing where the section was removed...tomorrow I start decreasing the meds. What seemed like an eternity, is now just a few short weeks. I still need a pelvic every six months, and chest xrays, and CT scans twice a year. My body is healing, and I feel will respond even faster now that we got the great news!!!
Thank you for all of the prayers said on my behalf.
I am grateful to everyone of you here in blogland.
I ask God to bless you as much as you have blessed me.
Much love,
Debbie

ReplyDeleteThis is the best news you could have received. Wonderful for you and your family!!
ReplyDeletePraise God and bless your heart. He touched you for a reason and healed your body. He is not finished with you yet and you are not finished in His work. Your testimony will reach great numbers and give courage where it is hard to find, for you have been there and walked in footsteps only you can understand.

YEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy to hear that! I love how you shared your talk with God-very inspirational!
ReplyDeleteI suppose you don't want to know that I have tears running down my face because I am so happy!?! My heart was so heavy when I got those first reports about what you were going through...and the waiting is so awful, isn't it? Thank God, Debbie...thank God that you are going to be healthy and healed and don't need radiation. Thank God that He has given you a new lease on life. I am beyond words...well, I am NEVER beyond words...but I am smiling through my tears because I love ya and I am so happy! NOW you can really get a good night's rest! Hugs- Diana
ReplyDeleteYes! I have tears in my eyes now, and I am so glad that they are tears of happiness! So glad for you!!! I hope that you will be feeling much better very soon! Yes, God is good:)!
ReplyDeleteI'm glade for you to be on your way to recovery.That is very good news about not needing radiation.Thank you Lord for all answered prayer.Yes,I have heard His voice almost audable ,when he speaks I usually know it's Him.Although I'm sure He would say I don't always know- o.k.,He's right.I take it back .That must have been Him. God continue to bless and heal you.Denise
ReplyDeleteOh, Debbie, my prayers were answered, I prayed last night that you would wake up to good news and here I'm clicking on your blog and finding out that they were answered! What an awesome God we have...so happy for you and no radiation how fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are welling up too! I have been watching, waiting and praying for you also. I am so glad the reports came back with such good news. Praise the Lord! It never ceases to amaze me how we can come to feel about those who share themselves with us through their blogs. I have not commented before as I often don't feel that I have anything worthy of writing, but I just had to let you know how happy I am for you and your family, and to tell you how blessed that I feel each time I read your messages and share in the photos of your lovely lakehouse home. Thank you ;-)
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to say that I can somewhat understand what you have been going through. In my twenties, I had an ovarian tumor. In my thirties, early stage cervical cancer. In my forties, a horrible health issue that required major abdominal surgery with the worst pain and longest most difficult recovery...so very scary. Now that I am in my mid-fifties, I keep expecting something else to bring me to my knees again. I am guessing there is some reason for my still being here that He has yet to reveal. Anyway, being on one's knees is probably the best place to be in crisis, don't you agree? Well, I didn't mean to write a book, I just want you to know there is another out here praying for your continued recovery and health. Take care, and take it easy, dear one. Sent with big hugs, --Leslie (also a CPhT, when I can work ;-)
Oh Debbie what GREATTTTTTTTTT news!!!
ReplyDeleteI too just have tears in my eyes of happiness!! The miracle of prayer :)

ReplyDeleteBiggest Hugs Ever!- Tete
Thrilled with the good news. It always amazes me how God can surprise us by using what seems bad for our very good.
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS AWESOME! I am so ecstatic to hear this news! All my love to you Debbie:)
ReplyDeleteI've not check in lately but was glad I did today. I am so happy to hear your good news. Thank the good Lord for His many blessings!
ReplyDeleteI had bladder cancer and I know what you mean when God keeps telling you the doctor is wrong ...go somewhere else...I am good now after 2 surgeries and chemo and have a cystoscope every 3 months but it took me 4 doctors before it was found. God is good. Glad you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteDebbie that is amazing and I am so happy!!! He is so good to us even in times when we feel lost! I know what you mean about hearing His voice, after I had open heart surgery I heard Him in the silence of my being. I was so happy to be alive and felt blessings from everywhere! He knew what I needed and when and guided me every step of the way. Blessings to you and your family and I hope that this summer I can meet you and hug you if Laurie, you and myself are able to meet up for the big flea market in Allegan!! Love to you and I so happy for the great news!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie! What fabulous news. We (my 5 yr-old and me) have been praying for you every night at bedtime. God really does hear doesn't He. He hasn't let me down yet.
ReplyDeleteSherry
You don't even want to know what a blubbering, crying heap of relief I was to hear your voice on my phone the other day, sis. I couldn't believe my ears. When hubby got home, I had him listen to it - and once again I broke down in tears of joy for you. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!!!!! ♥
ReplyDeletexoxo laurie
Praise God! Debbie I am beyond words. Just to say that I am so happy for you just doesn't seem to be enough. God bless you and your family.
ReplyDeletexxoo, Sue
What a relief! I'm so happy to read your news. You will be well enough for your trip to Sanibel!!! YAY!!! Now we must all make a prayer of thanks, for sure! I had some tears in my eyes, but a big smile!!!
ReplyDeleteI was relieved to read the good news. God's timing is always perfect. I've heard his voice too, it's when i let go and "know that He is God". Continual blessings and happy recovery.
