The heartbeat of our little one. A clear liver. Gifts from above. Seven days. I asked my oncologist for one more week. The need to have a little more peace, to wrap my heart around what lies ahead. She said I could have one more week but then we need to start chemotherapy.

The words of my devotional jumped off the page:
“…….some fears surface over and over again, especially fear of the future. You tend to project yourself mentally into the future…….what you are seeing is a false image, because it does not include Me. Those gloomy times that you imagine will not come to pass, since my Presence will be with you at all times”. Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

God gives me the grace and faith for each day. He wants me to live each day fully not focusing on what may happen in the future. Grace for the moment. All I need. These truths I know in my head; my heart is lagging. I am thankful for seven days. Jesus, teach my heart to trust you more, to grasp your goodness in a deeper way. Give me eyes to see the kindness of your heart. You are so good to me, have blessed me beyond my wildest imagination, give me more of You each day!

Thursday, November 17th, I will start chemotherapy! Jesus, I trust your heart; give me grace for one day at a time.
