Simply Amazed

I know its been awhile since I have blogged anything. I do apoligize for that. Many of you know that my mom has been struggling with reaccurance breast cancer for the last 5 years. It truly has been a bumby road. As soon as we think she has beaten this deadly disease it roars its ugly head up again.

For awhile she was taking 3 different kinds of kemo a week. During this time it was taking a huge toll on her body. She would spend acouple of days a week in bed trying to recover so she can work the next week and then go through the same routine. While doing this her cancer markers were going up which told us that the kemo was not doing its job.

My mom decided that she would stop two of the treatments and stick with just one. You know quality verses quantity. This had to have been a tough decision for my mom to make and it was hard for our family to take. For this past year my mom has trusted in the Lord and only has done one treatment a week. Ever since she has made this decision her markers has dropped below normal. Just recently her cancer markers have dropped lower then what they were before her first surgery.

I can only say that I am simply amazed in how good God is. When we stop fight there is still one that fights for us. When we think there is nothing left God shows that He is all thats left. There is nothing like trusting fully in the Lord. It's not the easiest but it's the most rewarding. So don't give up. You have someone on your side that is truly amazing. His name is Jesus.
