Forever Grateful

This week I received some much anticipated and extremely exciting news. Those of you who have followed by blog over the past couple of months know that early this Summer I was diagnosed with a very rare form of Leukemia called Hairy Cell Leukemia. The good news from the start was the doctors admonishment to me that if there is any form of Leukemia to have, this is the one. One week of low Chemotherapy treatment and you are on your road to remission. I followed that procedure along with some Homeopathic treatment, increased vitamin and supplements and plenty of prayer from so many. The treatment was in August and this week the good news came.

On Wednesday when I went for my weekly blood test, I learned that my vital blood levels have for the first time in a long time returned to the normal range. I can't tell you how encouraging it was to hear the news. These past few months have been a time of uncertainty, anticipation, growing in faith, realizing the value of life and a learning experience for me and my family beyond anything we could have imagined. What we thought was going to be a relatively routine Summer, turned into a Summer we will never forget.

It is in times of testing that our faith is stretched and times of uncertainty that you learn where true certainty in life lies. My family and I thank all of you who have so faithfully prayed and expressed your love and concern during this time and we give all the glory for this transformation to our Savior Jesus Christ without whom we have no hope of a future. God has proven Himself to be faithful and I look forward to what He has in store now for me and my family.
