The Postponement (Psalm 100)


Update: Not the news that we were wanting to hear today. E's white blood cell count was too low so no chemo today. If you know my wife, you probably know that she is a planner and a check list kind of person. This is a really tough setback for us. We have been rescheduled for next Tuesday. Keep praying for..

1. Health for the rest of this week. Her white blood cell count was extremely low which makes her very susceptible to sickness. Pray that her white blood cells rebound and that she doesn't get sick.

2. Peace of mind. A lot of this journey has been hurry up and wait. Pray that God will help us remember that while we are surprised and disappointed, that He is neither of those things. He has a plan. All glory to Him!

3. Pray for the rest of her treatments. This setback changes her every-other-week schedule. So all of the weeks we thought would be chemo weeks and all the weeks we though would be recovery weeks will flip flop. Pray that all further treatments will go off without a hitch.

4. She will now have to have shots to stimulate her bone marrow to produce more white blood cells. This can be very painful. With new methods of injection, some of the side effects have been decreased. Pray that when she does have the shots (she will have one the day after every chemo session,) that the side effects are minimal.

We love you.

Psalm 100

1 Shout triumphantly to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. 3 Acknowledge that Yahweh is God. He made us, and we are His — His people, the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. 5 For Yahweh is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness endures through all generations.
