Well, I'm definitely in the middle of holiday season chaos. It's the day before Christmas Eve and we still have a few things to buy. Jeremy and I have been pretty successful at remembering the most important gift of the season, our Savior Jesus Christ, and we've been able to guard ourselves from most of the stress that comes with the holiday.
Jeremy is starting to feel the effects of radiation. He's suffered through nausea every day for about 2 hours following his treatment. And the exhaustion is becoming more intense. It's hard for me to see him so worn out and uncomfortable. Especially during this exciting and joyful time of the year. I pray that God will provide him with a renewed strength so Jeremy can enjoy the love and excitement surrounding him.
Today is Jeremy's last treatment for the week. He'll have Friday and the weekend off for Christmas. We're hosting an open house tomorrow evening. I look forward to celebrating with friends and family before we head off to the Christmas Eve church service. Jeremy loves a party. I know that being around his dear friends and family will lift his spirit. This isn't the Christmas he or I would have dreamed of, of course. But, I know God will continue to surprise us with his blessings at such a time as this.
"Ask the Father for whatever is in keeping with the things I've revealed to you. Ask in my name, according to my will, and he'll most certainly give it to you. Your joy will be a river overflowing its banks." John 16:23-24
