Tomorrow I start my fourth round of chemo after that I'll have 8 more to go. This is always one of my hardest days because I am not looking forward to being sick and in bed for four or five days following treatment. And of course I usually start taking it all out on my family to which I've already asked forgiveness for this morning. Suffering in any form is always hard. Whether its physical, emotional, financial, or children. We will all go through periods of this in our life. Its so hard to get through these times and my heart goes out to you if you are in a time of suffering right now. This is what my daily devotional said today:
Be prepared to suffer for Me, in my Name. All suffering has meaning in my kingdom. Pain and problems are opportunities to demonstrate your trust in me. Bearing your circumstances bravely-even thanking me for them-is one of the highest forms of praise. This sacrifice of thanksgiving rings golden-toned bells of Joy throughout the heavenly realms. On earth also, your patient suffering sends out ripples of good tidings in ever-widening circles. when suffering strikes remember that I am sovereign and that I can bring good out of everything. Accept adversity in My Name, offering it up to me for my purposes. Thus, your suffering gains meaning and draws you closer to me. Joy emerges from the ashes of adversity through your trust and thankfulness. Trust me and relax in my everlasting love.
Please pray for me and my family this week. We love you James 1: 2-4
Hi this is lexi. Last night I got so worried so my dad said to read a little bit of Job in the Bible. This book is hard to understand but if you really think about it it can help. It is about a man that feared God and stayed away from evil even when bad things happened to him. I am glad that I get to read the books of Ester, Job, Isaiah, and 2 corinthians .I will read a little out of one each night to help me not to worry so much. love, Lexi.
