The Rhythm of Life

Well, we have finally gotten back into the rhythm of what September brings. By this I mean that we are back into the daily schedule of getting ready for day, school or work or home life, coming home from where we have been for the day, homework, supper, and bedtime routine and for Steve off to the nightly meetings. Yes, back to the busyness of school and church life. How sweet life is! I must say that it is nice to have a new routine to think about. Although as a family we have adjusted to the three week routine of chemo treatment, its side effects, a good two weeks, and then start all over again, I must say that this "September" rhythm of life is the much more loved rhythm in our lives.

While it was good to finish the first week of school and see that we have adjusted well. It was also great to be back with our "church" family at Trinity. How wonderful it was for me to sit in the front pew once again and worshipping our God together. How my soul was lifted in praise by the aid of the music led by the worship team. How great it is to meet God through praise and prayer with His people in Trinity. What a wonderful element to add to this "September" rhythm of life. I just have to praise God!

The rhythm of my chemo treatments will begin again on Thursday. While I am excited that I will only have TWO more to go, I am very apprehensive about the week to follow. I hope that maybe some "good" drugs can be prescribed or that the effects may not be so bad. For this I covet your prayers - that I will not be too anxious, that while the chemo will work tremendously in my body its side effects are minimal, and that I will continue to find God's goodness in the rhythm of what life brings.

To that end I must sign off, and get some much need sleep.......
