I am only human.......
As my surgery day approaches, my anxiety grows. Don't get me wrong, I still am completely positive that I am going to beat this, but I guess I'm only human. The vain side of me is kicking in I guess. I know that eventually I will be whole again, but the thought of losing another part of my body is very overwhelming. So, to stay busy this weekend, I have taken on a lot of projects. My husband is about ready to send me to the hospital early!! I have my drawers cleaned out, the bills payed, the laundry is caught up and I have redecorated the boys room! I changed my welcome box at the top, so take a look at it again! I better go, we are having family movie night. will check back in tomorrow. Thanks for looking!
Welcome to Jen's Journey of Faith
If you are looking at this blog, you probably already know that I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Breast Cancer on July 1, 2009. It came as an absolute shock to me and my family. I love the Lord Jesus Christ, he is my Savior and I wouldn't be able to go on without my personal relationship with Him! His is a peace that passes all understanding! And there is know way on earth I can come to understand why I got cancer at the age of 37. But, the fact is I did and I intend to make the most out of this experience. God has chosen me to endure this and I consider it an honor that he found me strong enough to be able to beat this! He doesn't give us anything we can't handle! He must have a lot of faith in me! I named this blog Jen's Journey of Faith, because that's exactly what this is. The only way I can complete this journey is by complete faith in Him! Let the Journey begin..........
Don't forget a whole day of making salsa to the list! It is definately okay to have some vain moments in all of this. We all know how strong you are. You are going to do great. But...if you need to feel like your not strong for a bit...that's ok too! You have so many people praying for and thinking of you and your family. We all all here for you! Good luck with everything this week (including staying busy).
ReplyDeleteJen, love the new family pics! Sounds like you are a little tornado. You know we're praying. We'll be waiting to hear the updates of Wed. Just remember, you may grow weary and that's ok because it's not your strength that will get you through. Jesus is your Rock, Jesus is your strength, and Jesus NEVER fails! Love you! Wish I could be there to give you a big hug. :)
ReplyDeleteJen, your testimony to God is amazing. It's ok to have those "not so strong" days. We can be the phyical arms to hug you, but His are much bigger. Let Him carry you. Like your song in this blog says, "Let's worship while we're waiting". I am so blessed to have you as my sister. You are beautiful inside and out. You are not alone on this journey. Here we go sis, let's do this thing...I love ya!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen,
ReplyDeleteI just joined facebook and saw Jacque's update re: you. I am praying for you AND praising God for you. May you be overwhelmed by His sweet love for you. I will be praying specifically for you on Wednesday.
Love, Dawn Hoffman (Jacque's old friend if you don't remember me...)
