Our God is SO awesome and amazing!! This has been a glorious year
for me. There've been some downs, but God has lifted me up and kept
me encouraged.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987. I had a lumpectomy and
received radiation and drug therapy. I was shocked to learn it had
returned this year. Doctors told me I would have to have a mastectomy.
Through it all, God has shown his miraculous love for me. I told God
I didn't have time to be sick. I love working with children and I didn't
want to lose time with them.
God is so GREAT. He answered my prayers. I had a mastectomy on
a Tuesday. I went home on that Thursday. That Sabbath I was back
at church playing the keyboard to provide music for service. I also
discovered that Sabbath that my knees and ankle did not hurt. I used
a cane for about 6 months prior to surgery.
I had a very difficult time using stairs or walking for any distance - like
in the large Wal-Marts. Well, since surgery, I've walked up stairs at
school several times a day. I've shopped at Wal-mart without the use
of their wheel chairs.
I had 3 months of chemotherapy. I was only slightly weak the day
after treatment. I never got sick, I just lost my hair. But I was able
to continue working with children at church and school the entire
time.
MY GOD IS GREAT ... AND GREATLY TO BE PRAISED!!!!
