"Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows." Luke 12:7
"Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious." 1 Peter 3:3-4
Sorry I haven't rambled in a while. Mr. Chemo was letting me live my life. I felt great and I was busy and continue to be busy starting our businesses. So, I didn't feel the need to ramble aimlessly. However .........
Last week, Mr. Chemo decided he didn't like my hair anymore. I guess he doesn't prefer blondes with shoulder length hair. Fine Mr. Chemo!! You may take my hair, but you won't take my spirit!! I know you just want me to look different for our next date on Tuesday. Well, you got your wish.
It's true!!! About a week ago, I realized that I was starting to lose my hair. At first, there were just a few more strands than normal in my comb. By Sunday morning in the shower, it was much, much more. Ewww!!! God's hair numbering calculator was certainly working overtime!!! Minus 10, minus 5, minus 25, etc.
So, with much internal deliberation, I decided to get it cut real short so that it would be easier to manage. So, here are my two selfies - before & after.
I know that many of my prayer warriors diligently prayed for God to keep my hair and I thank you for those prayers. But God doesn't always answer prayers with a YES. In this case, God said, "NO!" Am I disappointed?? Absolutely. Will God still receive all the glory??? Absolutely!!!!
I saw this quote by Elisabeth Elliot several weeks ago and it pretty much summed up my thoughts and feelings. If you don't know who Elisabeth Elliot is look her up. She has quite an amazing story!!
He has changed my life. I'm trusting that this "bump in the road" will give me opportunities to share what He has done and is doing for me.
Prayer Warriors - My next doctor appointment & date with Mr. Chemo is on Tuesday, February 11.
Please pray that the weather here in New Jersey won't be an issue - Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday.
Please pray that I won't need to be a human pincushion on Monday, February 10 as they draw blood in preparation for my doctor appointment on Tuesday.
Please pray that I will have a good conversation with my doctor/oncologist and I will get answers to several questions.
Please pray that I would again tolerate the drugs that will be pumped into my body.
Please pray for the days after my "date" with Mr. Chemo.
Well, that's all for now.
Only by His Strength,
Sandy
