What does it feel like to have cancer?
If this is how it feels to have cancer, I feel pretty good. I don’t know if I have ever felt better in my whole life! I have never felt healthier actually. I think because of all of the good food and prayers. I feel great Mom. I got a little frustrated last week when my mind wanted to do stuff and my body was like “naaaaw.” Chemo made me feel like my body wasn’t my own. But I truly believe it did not have an effect on me other than in the spot where it needs to be. It is mind over matter and I think I can even overcome the tiredness next time if people pray for that.
What does it feel like to be held up in prayer by so many people?
I have never felt more loved in all my life. It feels cool. Like I am walking on sunshine (she starts to dance). I don’t know how to explain it. It’s indescribable. I think it is God working through the prayers. I have never felt this happy. It doesn’t make sense to be happy when I have cancer, but I am. Everything is the same other than the diagnosis. So, it has to be the prayers.
I just trust that everything is going to be ok, no matter what that is.
Linked here is the song that Tenth Avenue North just released. "I Have This Hope" speaks to what Araella (and I) have been experiencing. Thank you again for all of your prayers!

Loved reading this! She said it so well. When so many are lifting you up in prayer, it is a feeling you can't even describe. I am continuing to pray for her and for the side effects next time.
ReplyDeleteShe has the same faith as the woman who reached out and touched the cloak of Jesus. And when I think of the faith of those interceding for her, I can't help but to expect miracles.
DeleteThis is awesome. I'm so glad to hear God is lifting you up and taking care of you through this time. Love you beautiful girl.

Araella smiled at your comment and said, "Awww, Mrs. Jennings <3"
DeleteThis post made my heart smile. I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling loved and encouraged and supported! You have such an incredible community of people surrounding you and lifting you up! Remind me to tell you about the "sistering" carpentry term i learned this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing about the "sistering" carpentry term this Tuesday!
