“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means God with us.” Matthew 1:23
This past year has definitely been a year of experiencing our Immanuel, God with us. God has been my peace, comfort, and hope carrying me through my cancer journey with His presence, leading and guiding at every turn. I have personally experienced Immanuel and I am so thankful for this time of year when we can reflect and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.
I continue to give thanks to the Lord for the wonderful team of prayer persons, encouragers, family and friends that are walking this journey with me. Thank you! We enjoyed hearing from you via Christmas cards.
On my health front, I started a new protocol / immunotherapy yesterday and will be receiving this treatment every 3 weeks.
Please pray for: a) my body to respond to treatment; b) for my platelet count to improve; c) for continued energy; d) for the pain that comes and goes in my back; e) for continued improvement in my left hip!
Blessings to you and yours for a simple holiday celebration.
With much love and appreciation,
Debbie (& Patrick, too)
