Okay, so here's a little 'fun fact' concerning hair......it's taken me many years after chemo (2010/2011) to get this hair to make me smile. This hair will soon be gone; but, hey, small price to pay for ridding my body of the monster hanging out inside of me. It's totally maddening to lose hair which includes more than the obvious....eyebrows, eyelashes and then there are those nose hairs. Yup, nose hairs, they're part of our bodies and they have a significant duty to perform by keeping a bunch of dirt, dust and bacteria out of us. They also help to hold moisture inside. Pretty amazing that what many folks think of as yucky is actually helping us to stay healthier. I missed my nose hairs last time, without over the counter products I would have had even more nosebleeds than I already had. So much fun to look forward to, maybe instead of chemo I could go to that big lake in our area and just wash myself in it 7 times like God, through His prophet Elisha, told Naaman to do rid himself leprosy? (Look in 2 Kings chapter 5) Because that would eliminate hair loss and any other whamies chemo can inflict on a body. I'm listening, God, but what I'm hearing is, "Please just do the chemo and I'll get you through it."
I trust Him to do what He says He will. The sun is out here today I think I'll go soak in some of that and thank God for His unending love for me.
Dear Lord, Let Your love for me shine so brightly that those wandering in dark places see it enough to reach Your waiting, open arms! Thank You for blessing me beyond measure and giving me a peace that passes all understanding as I make my way through this difficult journey. In Jesus name, Amen.
