I have not been able to post anything during the last few days due to the effects of chemotherapy. God granted my request that I be able to enjoy the revival meeting last week. However, beginning Wednesday the chemotherapy took its toil on me. I so needed the revival--a time of refreshing from above. I am thankful that God still does supply all our needs. In spite of the effects of chemotherapy, I did receive good news last week. In spite of all the tests (pet scans, cat scans, MRI's, etc) the doctors were unable to pinpoint the source of my cancer. There are many different chemotherapies that are used to treat different types of cancers. My doctor took an educated guess (actually more than that since my doctor is a Christian) and prescribed the chemotherapy. The only way to tell if chemotherapy is working is through blood tests. Last week, the doctor's office called me and gave me good news concerning the blood test. A normal reading for the blood test is around 20. When I was given the blood test confirming my cancer, my reading was over 2700. The reading has now dropped to just over 1300. I realize that my battle with cancer is far from over, however I rejoice in the progress that has been made! I know that my life is in the hands of the Great Physician. But because of that, I know that I am in good hands!
I was able to preach both services with very little problems. I don't have the strength that I had before cancer, but God has enabled me to continue to stand and preach His Word. There are a lot of men that do a much better job preaching than I do, but no one enjoys preaching more that I do. I am honored that God would take a weak vessel like me and use that vessel to preach his wonderful Word. I ask for your continued prayers. You have been so gracious in lifting me to the Throne of Grace. I will never be able to thank you enough for what you have done. To my wonderful friends my prayer today is that Enoch's companion will be your companion!
