THIS 'N THAT!
I haven't posted in awhile. That's not because there is nothing happening! It is a time factor and where do you begin and end?
Karon and I go to her oncology doctor tomorrow. We are confident he will okay her to take her next infusion therapy treatment and start back on the oral chemotherapy. Her hands and feet have healed a lot in these past several weeks since she has been off the treatment. This is the longest she has gone between oral chemo treatments. But her hands just don't heal. It is sad to think that she has to go back to that pain and suffering so soon after it quits hurting so bad. But if it continues to bring the cancer into remission we can only be thankful. We won't know until May 18th if the cancer is continuing to go into remission or not.
So many great things happening at our church, Countryside Christian Fellowship. I personally am excited about all the mission trips in which people in our little church are participating. In May a person from our church is going to Costa Rica on a mission work trip. A team of 10 (four high school youth and six adults) are going on a work trip to Pennsylvania for a week in June. Also in June two from our church (and maybe more) are going to the Ukraine for two weeks. And some folks from our church are going on a mission work trip to West Virginia.
Besides all this, we are gearing up to provide at least half support for one of our young ladies who is going long term to minister in the Ukraine. This will challenge our church to have a global vision. We are also still planning to add on to our building to make more room for more people who need to know Christ and need to grow in Him.
In June a good friend, possibly my best friend, is coming from a long distance to visit me. I can't put into words how excited I am about that. This is going to be a highlight of my life. It will be a short visit, like the click of a shutter on a camera lens. But I plan to make the most of every second he is here. I have such high hopes and big dreams for this visit. I am praying that God makes it the highlight I am anticipating for this visit. When I think of it I can hardly wait. I'll be so excited--more than I ever am at Christmas. I already know how sad I'll be at our parting. But I'm praying not to let that take away from the joy of my friend being here. I will experience the gamut of emotions--joy, laughter, excitement. fun, fulfillment and sadness at his leaving. I know I'll cry. Hopefully not in front of him, but I can't guarantee it.
Enough of this rambling. I don't usually do this but I guess I needed an outlet today. This gives you a glimpse of the "tip of the iceberg" of things that are going on in my world. I know your world is equally busy, exciting thrilling and fulfilling.
