I wanted to give you an update on my progress. I was in the hospital last week for my 4th round of chemotherapy and did very well. Yea!

The nurses at the hospital have been so wonderful. When I am there for treatment they are like family to me. They have been so kind to care for me physically but have also been a great support emotionally through this time. I have received lots of hugs, smiles and encouragement of my progress. I have loved each one of them and they have truly been a blessing to me.

I began writing in my journal called" My Miracles" while I was in the hospital and have had so many moments where the Lord has encouraged me. He is Faithful and has given me "Hope"!

My sister from Indiana flew in and we three sisters were able to share a week together. The motto for the week was "Don't Worry, Be Happy"! Melanie gave me a darling cup that sings this song. We had so much fun sharing this cup with others and see them smile as they heard the song.

My energy level is coming back and I am very optimistic about my future. Tomorrow I have an appointment with Dr. V to assess my current blood counts.

Thank you to each one of you that continue to pray for my progress and healing.

Psalm 103: 1-5
Bless the Lord, Oh my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
And forget none of His benefits;
Who pardons all your iniquities;
Who heals all your diseases;
Who redeems your life from the pit;
Who crowns you with loving kindness and compassion;
Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

In His Grip and Care, Love, Sharon

Hi Sharon, I'm a friend of Angie's and am praying for you. Psalm 103 is my favourite, and has been through many health difficulties. He does indeed heal all our diseases, either as we ask or one day completely. "In His presence is fullness of joy." In Him, Karen
