Waiting and Trusting
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
Waiting and trusting is the order of business for this week! Malcom's chemo has been delayed again due to an elevated white blood cell count. He will take a week of antibiotics, have a CT scan done on Wednesday, and hopefully next week be able to have a chemo treatment. Again there is some apprehension at not being able to continue the treatment today, but we reminded ourselves of the fact that God is in control. Since He is the one we are depending on, we need not worry about what seems to us to be a "delay." Trusting that God's timing is perfect, we wait upon Him. This verse promises renewed strength.

Carol,
I'm so sorry Malcom got a bad report. Hopefully the increase in PDR will make a difference quickly. You know we love you both and we're praying for you.

The last time Malcom had chemo, I made mentioned to Russ that Malcom must be doing fairly well as his blood count seems to be holding steady resulting in no interrupted treatments. Every time treatment was delayed for Deborah or David fear seemed to fill my heart. Thankfully, we know who casts out that fear and gives peace to wait upon Him. You are kept in our prayes.

Friends,
We so often do not understand the leadings of the Lord, but we do understand His love and can confide in Him to do best in our lives. My love and prayers are with you constantly.
Lovingly,M
