Rest between Your shoulders…
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
-Psalm 73:26
When I said “My foot is slipping,” your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
-Psalm 94:18-19
On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
-Psalm 63:6-8
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.
-Revelation 21:4
Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders.
-Deuteronomy 33:12
Between Your Shoulders - Rita Springer
He longs for us to crawl into his lap, and just lay our head on his shoulder. He longs for that. Can you picture yourself doing that today? Can you picture just crawling up into your Daddys lap and laying your head on his shoulder, and telling him how bad it hurts, how much you long for him to rescue you from it, what ever “it” may be?
He’s waiting…

Sword Waving Angels…
The fatigue of chemo is kicking my butt. I feel like I have 100 lb. weights strapped to my legs. Its completely bizarre because you would think that fatigue would equal tiredness, but nope. I look around my house and see so many things that require my attention, yet I have absolutely no energy to accomplish any thing. Yesterday, I made myself go to church, and regretted every second of it. I had to have a stool to sit on during worship because I couldnt stand for more than 3 minutes (I am on the praise team). This last chemo has really taken a toll on me.
But….
I HAVE ONLY THREE MORE TO GO!
I physically had to force myself to take the last two pills on Friday. I cant describe how they make me feel. Nauseous doesn’t even touch it, and the headaches are like pinpricks all over my brain. I cant imagine how I would feel without the anti nausea medication.
And the fatigue. It lingers.
But….
I HAVE ONLY THREE MORE TO GO!
I am constantly reminding myself that I am one month closer to August… One month closer.
And then my mind goes to the unknown. What will happen when I don’t have the chemo to combat the cancer? What then?
Then I hear Him silently whisper “Do not be afraid, I know what I am doing”.
Yet I still am, and I can’t deny that.
They say that going off treatment is the second scariest point in a cancer patients life, only second to hearing the C word. I can attest to that. It is a bitter sweet, love hate relationship I have with the Chemo pills. But a woman at church told me to think of the chemo as Christ’s angels, fighting valiantly to save my life.
I have little sword waving angels. I like that thought.
Only three more battles to go.
The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.
-Zeph. 3:17
