Ms. Pakman: God is Faithful to All His Promises

I was just reading an email message from Maddy's Sunday School teacher. Every week, parents receive a summary of the past Sunday's bible lesson. Last Sunday, Maddy and her classmates learned that God will fight for you and acts on behalf of those who wait for Him. Every step of the way, God will fight for you (me!) and He will cast away all fears and doubt. What a fantastic reminder to me when fear and anxiety fill my thoughts. God is in control and is faithful to all His promises. Oh, how quickly I forget and attempt to deal with my fears on my own. Inevitably, I fail because I neglect to call upon The Lord. I need or rather desire to trust in God in every aspect of my life. He has been so merciful these past months and I'm so grateful for His goodness and faithfulness. My body is responding favorably to the chemo drugs and the latest CT scan shows that my cancer lesions have either disappeared (lungs) or shrunk (bones an liver). Now, it's just a matter of maintenance and continued chemo treatments to prolong my life. Praise God! I know that there's always the possibility that my body could stop responding to chemo. I'm aware of that harsh reality but in the meantime I will do my part to maintain a healthy lifestyle and optimistic outlook. How can I possibly fail with God by my side.

Maddy's memory verse for this week: So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what
can man do to me? Hebrews 13:6

Here's a recap on the fun things I did this week:
