Pain Management and Release from Calling

 As the new year dawns we still have no solid answers about the cancer. Though many tests and scans have come back normal, we won’t know the extent of the Cancer until a week or so from now when we get the results of the biopsy I’m having performed in the morning. We saw the oncologist yesterday because my pain was getting unmanageable and she increased my pain meds which have helped reduce the pain. 

As I’ve said before it has been an emotional rollercoaster and what has added to the ride is that I was released from the bishopric. I had served for two years as the first counselor so it was hard to take but as the Bishop and Stake President said I need to focus on my health and family. In addition, I am still unemployed which in reality has been a blessing with all of this going on. But regardless of our current circumstances, I trust in my God and he has a plan for me. 

“My dear brothers and sisters, the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.” President Russell M. Nelson October 2016

The Joy I feel is that I know Sherie and I are sealed for time and all eternity along with our children. I also know that our Savior Jesus Christ makes it all possible.
