Christ My Sustainer

If you follow this blog, you know that I don't post very often lately. I must admit that the on-going battle with cancer my wife is going through has set me back some in my faith. I still believe in a sustaining, grace delivering Christ. I must admit that I have been challenged regarding my beliefs regarding healing somewhat. My beloved is continuing day in and day out believing God for her ultimate healing. Her faith gives me strength. We have not seen total healing, but on the other hand she is doing better the past few months and that no doubt is due in part to her faith and Christ's sustaining. She continues in treatment. we were set back a couple of months as we traveled to a larger metropolis for a clinical trial, but she was never able to meet all the requirements to stay in the trial. Now we are in our home community and she gets treatment every few weeks. The first week is very difficult as the benevolent poison that chemo is, causes pain and fatigue. During those times she is most down, but we work through it as a temporary situation because she then has a couple of weeks of feeling better. We are able to attend worship about twice a month, when she can go and enjoy our fellowship. I give credit to our Lord that she has lived well past the median time when this cancer kills over half it's victims. We have made many lifestyle changes to do all we can to kill the cancer. All glory and praise to God and Christ our healer. Thought I would try to post this YouTube video from a pastor in the Dallas area who is going through cancer treatment. Hope it works:
