Sick and Tired! but APPROVED!

Hi all, Lately it's been the same old same old, yesterday was not a great day though. It started out ok, my golfing buddy Charlie treated me to another round of golf (THANKS!) and the day looked like it would be good. Not so, my game was off and I started to feel bad on top of it so when I finally got home I laid down. Three hours later I felt better but was still tired,so after dinner I went back to bed. It's amazing how I go up and down at different times with no rhyme or reason to why. I am glad to report I am getting some relief when I swallow food now. I was able to eat a sandwich with no fluids to help and no pain but I was on pain meds so that does help! So that might be a good sign that things are working, we'll see I have an appointment with my Doctor tomorrow at 9:15 am. I've been off my chemo pills starting today to get a rest period before the next round which starts 11am Monday the 21st. I have great news! I called the Roche company to check my status and I'm please to report that I've been accepted in their drug program and they shipped out my next 30 day supply free of charge. they aren't even charging my insurance and I'm able to receive the pills at no charge for the whole year. God is amazing at how he works, through every avenue of life he is there. All we need to do is believe, pray and receive his blessings. I've had people ask me why I thought God was putting me through all this and I came across a verse in the bible that sums it up; (John 9:2-3) His disciples ask him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life." Jesus went on to say more then proceeded to heal the blind man. So people can be rest assured that God does not just give someone cancer or any disease to cause them harm. No, we live in a sin filled world that has diseases and we as mortals will succumb to our environment. If Adam and Eve had not sinned then this world would have been as God had planned with no sickness and death. That's why God sent his one and only son to die for our sins and be reconciled to him through the resurrection of Christ from death, so we can live with God after we leave this world. There is only three things we must Pray to gain this free gift from God (1) Admit you are a sinner born in a sinful world, (2) Believe that Christ died and rose again the save us from sin, (3) Confess to God from your heart, mind and soul that you accept Jesus as the only way to heaven. You do this and you can rest your mind that you will go to heaven when you die. I have this assurance that's why if this cancer thing goes the wrong way I will still be ok with no more tears and no more pain. So don't leave earth without Jesus. If you haven't done so please do, if you do let me know so I can celebrate with you and help lead you on your spiritual journey and mature in your faith in Him!

Thanks for everything and Love from myself, Donna and the boys.
