Hello,
I am feeling weary physically and emotionally from the battles of life right now. My blood counts are low, I'm hiding from germs at home, and I'm needing a lot more rest. The nurse has been telling me more rest. My husband has been telling me more rest. Now my body and emotions are telling me more rest.
This last week has been hard in many ways that I won't bother you with. Some of you are dealing with tragedy in your lives in many forms. I pray especially for those of you in Harvey's path. Some are facing physical illnesses or diseases. I have faith. Right now I need to rest.
I am going to take a break for a little bit. I'll be back and write a bit here and there, but I find I cannot keep up with all the comments. I read every comment, and I pray for every request, but it takes quite a bit of time to reply to every one. If you would like me to reply, please just ask me to and make sure I have your email. Otherwise, it's going to be very hit or miss for a bit.
I've been so excited about getting down to my last month of chemotherapy, I failed to anticipate the cumulative effects on my body and emotions. So, now, I have to face it and endure it. I thank you all for being so encouraging to me through this and for praying for me. God bless you all!
With warm regards,
Laura
Even now, I will worship the Lord for He is good.
Yes, God is good, all the time! I will continue to pray for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying dear friend! No need to reply back. Just get some rest. Have a cuppa tea!
ReplyDeleteLaura, you just take care of yourself and get the rest that you need right now...and don't worry about any of this. I will certainly be thinking about you, and will be checking in. Love, Henny
ReplyDeletePraying for you during this time.

Absolutely, Laura! You put on some comfies & rest! I don't know what you're feeling, but I do remember that post-surgery, the TV remote was too much for me to deal with!

Dear sweet Laura,
ReplyDeleteI want you to know that you are in my daily prayers, as you go through this moment of trial.

ReplyDeleteDearest Laura, rest. Rest until your body says you are well. Rest your spirit too. Sometimes it is okay to sit back and let support come to you, rather than extending it to others as I know you always do. Sending love and healing prayers dear lady. Mimi xxx
ReplyDeleteMay God continue to bless you and keep you in his loving arms. Diana
ReplyDeletePlease rest...physically, emotionally, and most of all, spiritually. "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." Deuteronomy 33:27 Lean into those arms, my friend, and rest in Him. He is with you still.
ReplyDeleteHang in there Laura!
ReplyDeleteYou have come so far!
Still praying for you daily.
I enjoyed your husband's pie video.
I have never been good with pie.
Hoping to get better when the weather cools.
No need to turn on the oven still here.
No need to comment back.
You'd best rest all you can.
Just know your friends are thinking of you with hope!
Hi Laura, I just started reading your blog. Can't even remember what lead me to it (except God)!!!! I had breast cancer! I survived chemo and you will too! DO NOTHING! Lay on the sofa and rest!!!! What your body is going through is enough work for it! You take this time to give your body what it needs - rest!!!! God be with you! Prayers and hugs! (No need to respond)

ReplyDeleteLaura, no reply to this comment. Thank you so much for the amazing nice comment you left on my blog. I am in fervent prayer for you. God loves you! Know that He is right by your side, and He will carry you through this. Sometimes, we don't understand why we have to go through hard times. But you can be sure that God is there with you. I believe there is a reason and a purpose for this. Keep the Faith! (((HUGS))) and Prayers, Teresa

Hi Laura, it was lovely to meet you at my blog, A Shropshire Patch. I've been reading some of your posts. I send you my love and will keep you in my prayers. I know that chemotherapy drains your strength - my family is deeply affected at the moment - and the most important thing is for you to put yourself first. We'll be here when you are ready to come back. Blessings to you. x
