"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
It was looking like I was going to have to wait until May to have my surgery, but with luck, my doctor had a cancellation and now I am scheduled for Thursday, April 16. I was so relieved when I got the news! And now I can prepare myself for this important day.
Brayden is on Spring Break the next two weeks so we have lots of fun things planned (and some friends coming to visit from North Carolina today!). So that will be great to take my mind off of things for a while.
I did get some sad news that my grandmother (my dad's mom, Ba-chan) is suffering from lung cancer again. She is 90. It isn't looking good. So if you could pray for her comfort and peace I would appreciate that. I just hope that I can get up to the Bay Area in the coming weeks to see her before my surgery date.
I do feel some new anxiety now that I have this surgery date...and now that Ba-chan's health is failing it helps to know that I can turn to God for strength and comfort. I am so grateful that I have been able to give my burdens over to Jesus and know that He can carry my load!

Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI so sad to hear about your Grandmother. I will definitely pray for her and you. It is so hard to see loved ones sick. I know that you must be feeling a bit anxious. I will pray that God will give you peace and you will feel him during this time.
love,
Sherie
Great news about the surgery being on April 16th ! I have been following your blog, because your friend Kelli directed me here. I will run 5KM this year for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and I was going to ask you permission to take the picture from this blog to put on my donation page, because I will be runing for you this year.
ReplyDeleteYou are strong woman Amanda, and may the Lord guide you through this like he's been doing since the beginning. You are in my prayers.
