Thursday Last day for Radiation!!

Thursday will be my last day of radiation! It is also my cousin Jill's birthday, but I won't tell her age, b/c she would not like that and would get me back. My nephew Brian had a birthday on the 8th and Georgia had a birthday on the 8th --Happy Birthday Jill - Brian -and Georgia! Also, Happy Birthday to Kenny again. I was the first to tell him Happy Birthday (a month early) but oh well. Glad you had a good birthday. There are more birthday's to come this month, so I will happy them later.



Well, I was looking back over my last blog to see where I needed to start. It looks like it was the car wreck. And like I said, it was a blessing in disguise because they found the 2 C spine spots. Otherwise they would not have found them for 3 more months, or unless they started causing me problems.



I will see my oncologist on February 6th. He will discuss then what chemotherapy he is going to give me. So, basically until then, I'll just be resting up for the next round of poison to my body.



The more I have read lately - from the Bible and from Christian authors - the more verses I find on "keep on praying; keep on praying for miracles; keep on asking, He says over and over again - Keep on Asking!" I've always wondered how many times do you ask for another miracle? Have I met my limit? But, it seems the answer is no - He will keep answering as long as we keep asking. He has a plan and a time table, but we don't know what that is, only He does. And His plan may be for Him to continue to perform miracles in my body, so that He can be glorified; so I can glorify Him in all I do, so ohters will see Him and how He works.



I've decided through prayer and Bible reading to get together more Christians than ever to start praying that God will take this Cancer from my body all together - that they will not be able to find anything floating around in my spinal fluid or any tumor anywhere else in my body. The doctors and everyone will be totally amazed and will only be able to explain it as a Miracle of God. We all need to send our prayer lists out - to get on our faces before our LORD, as I have been doing, and ask for total healing.



A couple of things I've found lately:

(from this little book "The Greatest Discovery" by Jim Cymbala

p.16 "When you don't know where to turn, then turn to me (God). When you're ready to throw up your hands - throw them up to me. Put your voice behind them, too, and I'll come and help you."



p.22 "Call upon me in the day of trouble, . . . I will deliver you, and you will honor me." Ps.50:15. God desires praise from our lives . . . but the only way fresh praise and honor will come is as we keep coming to him in times of need and dificulty. Then he will intervene to show himself strong on our behalf, and we will know that he has done it."

p.50 "Let us purpose in our hearts to change in his direction and see him do incredible things to the praise of the glory of his grace."



I also found this in a poem:

LORD, You know I'm pushing on

to run this race

I fix my eyes on You

in everything I face

Your truth that beats

inside my heart won't let me go

with every step of faith,

You strenghthen me

along every mile of trust.

(Heb 12:1-22; 2 Cor. 4:8-9)



Quote:

"Our suffering may be great - but Christ's suffering for us was far greater."

Billy Graham



"Fear not! I am with you. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold you up with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10



"Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son." John 14:13



"Now the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will personally restore, establish, strenghthen, and support you after you have suffered a little."

1 Peter 4:10



Join me in prayer. Send me verses to pray. Let me know when 2 or more are gathered together to pray and I will pray as well. I can then make a list of where people are praying; I know it will be unbelieveable. I Believe He will do this; we also must believe. He is going to take this Cancer out of my body.



Thank you in advance for praying - asking - and believing!



Oh, I forgot -- it was either from the car wreck or week bones or both, but anyway, last Friday morning I woke up hurting terribly under my left arm; could not touch it hardly or take a breath. I went to radiation and they sent me for an x-ray and, yes, I have a broken rib. Unbelieveable! Only me :) Yes, terrible pain still and yes, nothing you can do about it. They wrapped it in Ace bandage and gave me some pain pills, but that's it. So, pray this rib heals fast too.



And if anyone knows how long "a little while" is in biblical terms - I was just wondering because a day is like a thousand in Heaven; makes me wonder a little about that verse. Just a thought.



Thank you all again,

Kim Wilson
