Hey everyone - Dawn here. So sorry it has been so long since I last posted anything but things (health wise) have been status quo. Of course thats great news as far as Im concerned. Still taking Votrient every day. Side effects have been minimal and back pain has been quite tolerable. I was very blessed to spend a week with the entire crew in Charleston, SC. The place we stayed was actually on Folly Beach. For months ahead of time I kept saying I was going to order us all matching tees that said Farleys take on Folly in bright UK blue. Should of done it - LOL. Had an amazing time sitting on the beach just watching the tide go in and out. I always take a couple of books but end up spending most of my time just watching the ocean. As I sat there marveling at the vastness of the ocean I was reminded of Romans 8:37-39: Despite all things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ who loves us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from Gods love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow - not even the powers of hell can separate us from Gods love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below. Indeed nothing in all of creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. I like the NLT translation because it uses the phrase overwhelming victory. I believe Im not just going to slide by under the radar in my victory through Christ, it is going to be so amazing, so astounding, that no one will be able to question Gods mighty hand. OK - I know for some of us who battle cancer, the victory may not be what first comes to your mind. Complete healing. Do I believe that possible? Double heck yeah! But does that alone define my victory? Absolutely not. According to Mr.Webster, victory is The ultimate and decisive superiority in any battle or contest. Chris and I have chosen to be transparent in this battle because the real victory is not the end result but how we live along the way. How we face each bad day, each scan, each setback, each good day and each blessing is what will give us ultimate and decisive superiority in this battle. My friend Sheri Collins was a perfect example for me to follow. She set the bar pretty high - I pray I can be half the blessing she was to those around her. So thank you for allowing us this opportunity. Your support overwhelms us at times. Honestly I have not been that best at thank you notes (my mother, the Hallmark Queen would not approve - sorry Mom). But we do value your companionship on this journey. So for all the thank-yous I didnt send....thank you thank you thank you from the very bottom of my heart. So as I watched the sunset on the last night of our vacation and thought about the many sunsets I have seen through the years and finding hope in the ones Ive yet to see I said a thank you to the Creator of the Universe for loving me and loving YOU so much that He paints the sky each evening with such beautiful colors. He is real. He hears us. Talk to Him today.
