The war goes on...

Another battle has ended but the war goes on. We got through another round of chemo treatments and have returned home. Arnie felt bad during the actual treatment and that continued into the next day but felt surprisingly good on Sunday. Still a little apprehensive about the diarreha. The supplements continue to work, making the side effects manageable. Arnie plans to go into work this week if he continues to feel good.

God continues to provide for us. On my Facebook page today, what scripture reference do I see but Jeremiah 29:11... "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." That is the verse that has appeared to us several times in the past - as you can read about in a previous post. There it is again!!!

Also in today's devotional from Dr. David Jeremiah (Turning Point) his scripture reference is from Philippians 1:6... "He who has begun a good work in you will complete it..." The quote at the end of his devotional reads..."If your progress seems slow while it appears those around you are engaged in remarkable success, just remember: Patience! God is not finished with you yet!"

I always appreciate these messages that appear because I find myself needing a boost as we continue on this journey. I need to be strong to be able to encourage and support Arnie as we fight this war.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers! God is answering!
