It’s been another good day in Memphis! Stomach issues are still making progress! We even had to move her chemo up to earlier in the day for blood work and her system still handled it well! This is a HUGE thank you Jesus!
Tomorrow she will have a series of blood draws done throughout the day. We start at 7:00am and will go until mid afternoon. It’s going to be a long day and we would appreciate your prayers for the IV to work correctly and the blood draws to be quick and painless. The only places Kayleigh has for blood draws are her hands. Her right hand is black and blue from the last time but her left hand sometimes doesn’t work fantastic. Our prayer is that the left hand will work easily and that she will not have a great deal of discomfort. I know if we have our prayer warriors on it that it will make a big difference!
Tonight Kayleigh and I had a date, just the two of us. Dinner and a movie, it was lovely. Often times I find when I slow down fear can creep in. As I sat and held her fear tried to work its way into my heart. Worry that my time with her might be limited. Each trailer for a movie coming out in months that she wants to see and the nagging thought, “will she?” But even as those thoughts try to take root I am reminded to choose to take them captive and hand them over to God. He already knows the plan – and His plan is far better than mine. So tonight as I sit with my precious girl I am specifically redirecting my thoughts to Jesus. Intentionally saying thank you. Thank you for new opportunities to learn to trust. Thank you for what He is showing me each day. Thank you for each minute I get to treasure and each memory I get to store away. I certainly don’t understand the why, but I don’t need to. Know that God knows the why is good enough for me.
2 Corinthians 10:5
5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow 💜
