7 fields & Strength
Amy held most of her food down yesterday, but she is still dehydrated and so they held her again today to get fluids into her. She is sick and tired of feeling sick and tired and is getting quite discouraged. She has told me that she wonders if she’ll ever stop feeling sick and get her energy back again. I tell her that I pray daily that she does. She had a major stomach pain while she was getting her treatment today so they pumped some Morphine into her IV, this has left her groggy and wiped out. She has 5 treatments left and they have ramped up her radiation treatments from 4 fields to 7 fields. This means that they are shooting radiation beams at the tumor from seven different angles instead of 4. I can tell it is taking a real toll on her and my heart breaks because I know there isn’t anything I can do to relieve her pain or restore her energy.
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might
For it is not with physical weapons that we must fight
God's Spirit is where our strength comes from
And it is by His power that our battles are won
He serves as our strength when our weakness fails
And because of His strength our victory prevails
For our strength to endure Jesus gave us all there is to give
So we must sacrifice self and through God's strength we can live
Strength cannot be measured by anything we can do
But it is measured by how far we let God take us through
We must focus on what our physical eyes cannot see
Always looking to the hills where our help will always be
We must become humble and see the frailty we bear
But have confidence in Jesus of the victory we share
By being one of His own, and living our lives just for Him
Walking in the Spirit, living holy free from sin
When trials come and it seems to hard to endure
Of this one promise you can always be sure
That His grace is sufficient, no matter the test
And through His strength you will always find rest
When you let God be God and offer up to Him
Your body soul and spirit, and endure to the end
Remember to walk by faith and not walk by sight
So you can be strong in the power of His might
