Days 10 : Getting Ready to Start Chemo
Over the next 3 days I will do alot to get ready to start chemo on Monday. The last test that I had to have was to have a heart Echo. I did that test on Friday morning. The main reason for this test for me to get a baseline on my heart before I start chemo as it can be very hard on your heart. As I assume you are aware, these are very strong drugs and if your heart is not in good shape it will not be able to handle them correctly.
On Thursday God had put it on my heart to go do something for a friend. He had told me to go and give him a certain amount of money that honestly doesn’t matter so I am going to leave that out. Now I will be honest with you I kinda questioned God and was like God I have no idea how I am going to make money over the next few months are you sure. And everything I kept hearing back was yes go and give Him x dollars. There was never a question on this. So I got in my car went to were He worked. He is a waiter and happened to be on a break. So we talk and just chat then as i am leaving I just give it too him. He honestly I think started to cry a little but I just said I know you need this money. I don’t know why but I know you do. I turned around and walked out. Now I say all of this not to say I am amazing because I give people money or anything. I say this because I have learned that when God tells you to do something do it. No matter how crazy, how weird, or how much you think it is going to cause you financial problems just do it. God knows everything and all He wants is for us to trust Him. This is something that I have learned already threw out this journey God has me on. Again not sure why He has a 22 year old going through cancer, chemo, and radiation but what I do know is that He is in control of my life and I am here to glorify him in all I do. So I challenge you will this. Obey God in all areas, listen to his voice and follow Him I promise you that you will never miss anything you give away.

When God speaks — we certainly do need to obey/listen. I listened once (ok, more than once but this one time really stands out) and firmly believe that listening lead to an incredible moment for me. I think I will go post that story on my blog — maybe it will bless someone like your post blessed me.
I don’t know you, Cosbie (found your story on Caitlin’s blog, isn’t it funny how blogs can connect strangers??)but know, you are in my prayers and I firmly believe God will heal you and you will share that blessing with many.
