Great is His faithfulness
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
Psalm 63: 3, 4
I had my 3 month check up with Dr. Holmes today. Actually, I saw NP Janice and could hear Dr. Holmes bustling about between exam rooms. The wait time today was longer than the exam time. NP Janice came in to see me, and after commenting (as she always does) about how thick my hair grew back in, she told me that all of my labs came back GREAT! All the levels were good, especially that 'ol tumor marker number. Praise the Lord!
While I was waiting to be examined, my mind drifted to 2 years ago.....sitting in that very same exam room, waiting to see Dr. Holmes for the first time. What a period of uncertainty and trial of my faith that was!! God has been so faithful to me over these past 2 years; in my deepest need, He never left my side. He never failed to uphold me. I look back with wonder and think of how much has happened in 2 years. 2 years ago, God's grace took on a whole new meaning for me.
So, I look forward with great excitement to the months ahead; I graduated today from 3 month follow up appointments to 6 month ones! What an unexpected and encouraging blessing!! And, as I walked to the parking garage after leaving the office, this hymn ran through my mind:
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
