Autumn is my favorite season

How can people look at flowers and fall leaves, sunsets and the nighttime sky, and believe that there is no God? I guess, like it says in Romans, ". . . their foolish hearts were darkened."

Radiation is continuing to go well, with little burning of my skin. I had originally thought I would be finished after this week, but with the additional "burst" treatments, I have about two more weeks after this.
Please pray that I will continue to trust God with my health and life after treatment is finished. I have discovered I have a little anxiety about treatment being over, even though I have looked forward to it for what seems like a very long time! I think being in treatment is actively 'doing something' about your cancer; finishing treatment can be anxiety-producing. I understand many people have fear about their post-cancer check-ups for many years after a diagnosis.
I know the Great Physician, and I know that He can heal me without treatment, with chemotherapy & radiation, or not. The choice is His, and His loving goal is for my good. I consider it a priviledge to be used by Him and molded by Him through this journey, and pray that I will continue to be His willing and joyful witness, no matter what.

The sunlight on the leaves is just beautiful!! You always take such good photographs. I also love the photos of "boo" and your other pets. They are adorable!!

So glad to hear that treatment is going well. We will continue to pray for "peace and rest" for you as you finish your treatments. You have such a wonderful way of expressing your thoughts and concerns. GOD is GOOD, He will hold you through the anxiety and give you rest. Love ya!!
