Nervous

A friend of mine, who I work with, said to me the other day that I am a miracle. I feel the exact same way!

The only thing I really remember from my first visit to Dr. Sharma's office after my surgery was him telling us, because I asked, that my prognosis was not good. My cancer was very rare and very aggressive. But, now seven and a half months later, I am feeling AWESOME! For almost three months I have lived a normal life. I have taught full time, tutored and coached mathletes, started to work out, and enjoyed every minute of life! How can that not be a miracle?!

Monday morning I go for my three month check up. Although I feel great, I am VERY nervous, and I have been for the last two weeks. I know that it is all in God's hands and believe me, I have prayed every day since June for a long, cancer free life.

But, I know that no matter what Dr. Sharma tells me Monday, I can handle it.

I am not alone! God is with me. He is going to walk with me through anything and everything. Psalm 73:23 says, "I still belong to you; you hold me by my right hand." My life has been planned out longer than I have been around. God has been faithful to me; he has never left my side. James 4:8 assures me that if I "draw close to God, and God will draw close to [me]."

Believing those things make it easier to face each day!

Sheri,
I know that God can perform Great miracles as he did with your cancer...you are not really the miracle, tho. You are a BLESSING!!!!!! Blessings come from miracles! You are a wonderful blessing to everyone who knows you & will ever meet you. You now know what He is capable of & I doubt you will forget, but proclaim it from the highest point. You said you were going to climb Everest right? JK I love you.
