Matthew 12:15: Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all.
This was the verse yesterday in Spurgeon’s Morning by Morning. He spoke of the power of God to heal, but God shows his power ultimately in healing our souls. The imputing of peace to those He knows is the healing our hearts truly need. I wholeheartedly believe this, but I daily struggle to take hold of this truth.

Today I hit the halfway point with radiation. There is a part of me that feels like celebrating and another part of me that is feeling the side effects more sharply. I’m growing tired earlier in the day. Some of the simplest chores take all of the wind out of my sails. I sometimes despair over the simplest chores. I look at my aching skin and wonder if it can withstand 14 more treatments.

It was the summer of 1994. I had just graduated, but more importantly Jesus had taken ahold of me and changed me forever. My life was dramatically changed and richly influenced by the sweetest group of friends I still consider some of my dearest friends. Several of the people from this season came and cared for me through my darkest days with cancer. Each one is a beautiful gift to me.

Did you know it only takes 60 seconds to bring me to my knees? Three different blasts of twenty seconds cause my heart much panic and grief. I have struggled from the beginning with this one lonely minute in my day. A minute utterly alone. A minute where no one wants to be where I am, including me.

My dear Jen Whipple sent me this Psalm last week. As I face hard day after hard day, I brush near to the valley of the shadow of death. I see how little this world holds. My sweet faces of those I love hold me here cause me to not long for Heaven. But this world and its expectations are fallen. Driving down the road, one can see the ugly of commercial, the want for our dollars without care for our hearts. The pull towards want is great with little care for the eternal need for our souls.
