I see the oncologist tomorrow. Surgery is March 18th. I find it difficult
to talk about it even though I think about it far too much. I sure wish I
could be stronger and my faith is swaying. I scared friends but I don't
know how to ask for help and who to ask.....


Nettie,

I know what you mean. Chewy's scared because I've been slowly telling
him things that are going on with me. There's that fear that if I
share too much, he'll shut down, blow up, or go away.

Hold tight to God. What I did this past week, especially yesterday
morning when I hid in the ladies room at church during the first half
of the service, was imagine myself curled up in God's lap, letting all
my fears and tears out on His great big shoulders, just like I used to
do with my Pawpaw.

That helped me immensely, and I was able to go out to the sanctuary for
the 2nd half of the service. After that, I was fine until after Sunday
school. (We have worship service first, then Sunday school.) I had to
keep putting myself "in God's lap" all the way home. He got me through
that part. My kids and the folks here got me through the next part.

HTH,

Kitten
