I am geniunely grateful and forever thankful, first to our Lord and secondly to all of you who have diligently prayed on my behalf. Words cannot express this emotion and the joy it brings to my life. So today, I patiently await my post-op appointment with my surgeon on March 5, to hear the words directly from her and see the pathology report with my own eyes. It is amazing how nothing in the world matters if you don't have your health. Health is the root to our everyday lives. So many of us take this for granted. It is not something we think about if we are not faced with an issue. I challenge you to be more conscience of your health. Take necessary steps to combat issues before they arise. Every day is a gift from God. Rejoice and be happy in it! Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day! I am humbled and blessed to have been given a "get out of Chemo" free card. Not everyone is so fortunate. Please continue to pray for those less fortunate and who are on the Chemo path. My journey has hit a fork in the road and my path has been blessed by God. He has plans for me, for my life, to serve Him in every way the best that I can, the only way I know how. Thank you all again. I am grateful, thankful and humbled. Love, JODI I Peter 5:6-7 - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Casting all your cares upon him, for he cares for you.
