Reprieve/delay

I went back to the hospital today with this verse rolling around in my head:

The Lord is my strength and impenetrable Shield: my heart trusts in,
relies on, and confidently leans on Him,
and I am helped,
therefore,
my heart greatly rejoices and with my song will I praise Him.
Psalm 28:7 Amplified version

No radiation today but great encouragement. The Dr showed me the computer mapping of the way the beams of radiation are going to hit my chest and totally miss my heart! I needed that! He also had them do some more measuring and marking up of the side of my chest, where a different kind of radiation will be used, that only penetrates a little and doesn't go clear through. Why? Location, location, location.
So he apologized and said because of the extra measuring today, we will start Monday.
I thought, "Yahoo!" a few more days to heal and get stronger!
Monday at 7:45 is when it begins. I met the staff today and got to lie on the very table where I will be getting zapped. That also takes away any fear and trepidation.
God is so good.
My side is all marked up and looks like hieroglyphics. I am taking a pic for my book but I am not brave enough to put it up for the whole universe to see. Sorry. I draw the line there.
I also got one more tattoo today.
Double yahoo.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

God loves you so much He sent His one and only Son to die on a cross, to take on your sin once and for all.
That is true love.

He is faithful,
Bonnie
