REVIVAL

Last week our church had spring celebration services--"a Revival". Rev. Larry Winn, pastor of Hebron Baptist Church, was our speaker and we experienced four awesome nights of preaching and praise. I wish you could have been there too! I got my dictionary down this afternoon and looked up the word revival and this is what it said: "Revival- the act of bringing or coming back to life, health, or activity". That's what I've been experiencing lately; life after chemo, health after chemo, activity after chemo and a great "revival" in my soul. How precious is that?!!! It is comforting to know that God made me and knows everything about me. Nothing happens in my life that He doesn't allow and if He allows it, He will be with me every step of the way--in the good times and in the bad. Whenever I think about that I am "revived" and ready to face the day, what ever it may bring.

As I reported in my last blog, I had my third cancer marker test on May 7th and the results were good. Praise the Lord!! Dr. Hardcastle was a little bit concerned about a nagging cough that I have had for several months so he sent me to see a Pulmonary Specialist. They administered a breathing test which also checked out OK. Next week (May 15th) they have scheduled a chest x-ray and an upper GI test to see if that will give us any more answers. The doctor seems to think there may be a slight infection in my lungs caused by acid reflux or maybe a touch of asthma or allergies. I will just wait to see what develops and pray that God will reveal the answers for me. My three-month check up at the Oncologist is also that same day so it looks like another full day of tests and appointments for me. As always, I covet your prayers. I will post the results as soon as I can. Thank you.

I'm also excited to tell you that last week I got my first haircut in over a year!! There was finally enough hair on my head to get it trimmed and, even though it is pretty short, I'm getting ready to pack up my wig and put it into storage. Just in time for the HOT Atlanta summer. Yippee!!!!

Life is good. God is good. How could I ever complain? He has brought me safe thus far. He holds my hand and we walk the path of "Judy's Journey" together. With each new day I am so thankful. He "revives" me again. I love to share "His Love Story"! May YOUR heart be revived as you travel on "your journey" too.

I love you guys,
Judy
