Journey
With only a week away from starting my first chemotherapy treatment, I stand amazed and in awe of God's faithfulness and goodness. As I shared with a friend today, I felt no ounce of anxiety nor fear today and it's due in great part to the prayers I've been receiving from friends and family. By God's grace, I've been casting my fears and worries upon Him and seeking refuge in His arms. What a wonderful God we have!
With the urging from some friends, I decided to record my experience and I hope you'll be encouraged to pray for me during what will undoubtedly be a very challenging and most difficult time. So will you please join me in my journey in battling cancer while seeking the Gospel every step of the way.
Prayer Requests:
1) I would continue to cast all of my cares and anxieties to the Lord. There are times when fear creeps in and the anticipation of beginning treatment drives me crazy.
2) Please lift up my caregivers: Eugene, mother and mother-in-law. I pray that they would not grow weary in the midst of caring for me and my children.
3) Be able to spend quality time with my family before treatment begins.

Yay, Ms. Pakman! Your first post!
ReplyDeleteYes, "cast ALL your anxieties upon Him for He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7) I will be continually praying that you would experience deep peace and His abiding presence in the midst of your treatment. He is your Rock and Refuge, and He will daily bear you up and those who will be caring for you.
