I do not know where in the bible God says this but I know he does. He says a big huge IT IS FINISHED! Honestly, this is how I felt today in a good way. My mother in law took me to get my port out today and on the way there and when I woke up this morning all I could think was….IT IS FINISHED. I am done and cancer is no longer a part of me. I felt a peace which did transcend all understanding. I do not know how to explain this but it felt quite good to wake up to this thought. It is finished! Man, in faith I am choosing to believe I heard God on this.
As for the port and where it came out I am a bit bruised and as the day progresses it is getting a bit more sore. I mean it is no where near the pain from my surgery but it is enough pain to be throughly annoying and want to drive you nuts, but I keep telling myself it is finished and I need to rejoice in the process and not focus on the pain.
God is good and faithful and I am done with cancer and treatment. Can I get a whew who?
Heck yeah, they’re fake! My real ones almost killed me!

Papa and I are rejoicing daily that IT IS FINISHED! We are just happy
we could be available to be with you and Stu and Jack on this journey.
Some days you wonder why you remain on this planet and then
you see an answer pop up. We look forward to many more years
of blessings and joy. The journey has united and bonded us in
the true meaning of life and how precious it is. Katy-Mom -in law.

Gena, how exciting! And Rick is sending a high five - he got his chemo port out on September 30th! A whole year of amazing experiences like the biggest, baddest roller coaster ride anyone can imagine. It was kind of like riding high on your Daddy’s shoulders when you’re really small and deathly afraid of heights. You know He’s got you, but it’s scary anyway. It’s a rush of an experience to see how He just swoops you up out of all the lowest of the low places, painful places, sorrowful places - yet as soon as you grab hold, you feel His firm hand and you can’t help but rejoice! We are so happy for you. Rick said it didn’t feel as if he’d come full circle till the port was out, so he is a compadre with you in something the rest of us only guess about.
We love you, Sweet Girl.
Hugs and Kisses to you and your fellas.
Your Texas Mom

My prayers are with you and I will add that God is good and I just accidentally stumbled upon your blog through Moxie. I am looking for a designer and fell in love with yours and just randomly selected an entry to read just to see the layout. Healed! Amen. Now you’re going to make me come back and start reading your blog on a regular basis.
