To say I'm overwhelmed is a HUGE understatement. I'm overwhelmed by a diagnosis I didn't have two weeks ago. I'm overwhelmed by the emotion that has come with it. I'm overwhelmed in handling the emotions of my husband, my kids, my family and my closest friends. But what I think I'm most overwhelmed by is the amount of love and support that we have received. People have offered to watch my kids (after quarantine of course), bring food by, pick up groceries for us, or really bring anything that we need. We've been supported with prayers, well-wishes, encouragement, scripture and songs to stand on. I have always had a love for people but there is something totally life-changing when you feel as though people have a love for you!
This week, God willing, I will start my chemo pill. A once a day pill that should push this leukemia deep into remission. I am nervous for sure but ready to move on with my life. We have seen God's hand in this situation continually and one of those ways was when we received news that our insurance would cover 100% of this treatment. One month's supply is $14,000. To say we were in utter disbelief that it was covered fully is accurate. I just hope that as my family continues to see hope through this situation, you can find hope in yours. We all have things challenging us right now, whether it's homeschooling our kids, finishing college classes, coronavirus or another unspoken burden. Know that we can be empowered by a God who surrounds us in our time of need, relationships that cannot be broken by social distancing and a family that we each can cling too right now (but not if they have the corona). Ok, maybe not the best time for humor but I have had to rely on some humor to get me through this time! Bear with me.
In ending this blog post, I just want to ask that you continue to pray and believe for God's best in my life and yours. Having faith over fear is a choice and today I'm choosing faith!
