"How Can I Help From Singing Your Praise?"

Praise goes first! Our oncologist welcomed a second opinion and we received one today from a leading expert in the field of breast cancer. He confirmed this is the correct course of treatment for the cancer I have. He agreed our team's agressiveness is the only way to attack this particular breast cancer. We are grateful for this medical confirmation in our fight and believe the Lord went before us, yet again!

As I traveled from place to place in the car today, I sang this song over and over and it flooded my soul! If you haven't heard it, please find it, listen to it and crank it up! I dare you not to sing! Double dare you! May it bless you like it does me!

"How Can I Keep From Singing Your Praise?"

There is an endless song

Echoes in my soul

I hear the music ring

And though the storms may come

I am holding on

To the rock I cling!

How can I keep from singing Your praise?

How can I ever say enough, How amazing is Your love!

How can I keep from shouting Your name?

I know I am loved by the King

And it makes my heart want to sing!

I will lift my eyes,

In the darkest night

For I know my Savior lives

And I will walk with You

Knowing You’ll see me through

And sing the songs You give

I can sing in the troubled times

Sing when I win

I can sing when I lose my step

And fall down again.

I can sing ‘cause You pick me up

Sing ‘cause You're there

I can sing ‘cause You hear me, Lord

When I call to You in prayer

I can sing with my last breath

Sing for I know

That I'll sing with the angels

And the saints around the throne!

Truly, it was a full day! Work, hospital pre-op for a procedure in the morning, then back in the car to the doctor's office for "chemo training."

So, out-patient surgery in the morning, 1st round of chemo in the afternoon. Our heads are spinning! Our hearts are secure. Our hope stays strong. Our course is set. Our faith- all of it- is in our Lord!

You, my friends, are people of incredible faith! You're boldly in our corner! Your determination strong! Your friendship steadfast! We thank our God everytime we think of you!
