A bit discouraged....

Today I received my latest lab work.  To be honest, I'm a bit discouraged.  I'm trying not to be but it's not always easy.....My cancer levels have gone back up again.  They were 1518 and now are back up to 2028.  I haven't been feeling "right" the last couple of weeks.  I've been feeling ok but really tired and worn down.  My iron was extremely low as well.  My level was 9 (the normal range is 20-50).  I'm not sure if these results mean the cancer is spreading--but increased cancer levels are never good to see or hear. 

I read this morning Jeremiah 29:11-13 which says "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.  And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."

We never know how much time we have left on this earth.  Last month I had 3 friends pass away.  One took his life (Mark Rife), one lost her cancer battle (Alyssa Sullivan) and the other passed away from a brain tumor (Elizabeth Tolhurst).  I hurt for their families.

I do know that during these difficult times we need to be seeking the Lord & calling upon Him.  We don't see the big picture...but He does and He knows exactly what is best for us.  We just have to keep believing & trusting....and that is what I will continue to do.....
