I'm currently on round 6 of 12 of my chemo treatment for { : } cancer (get it, : = colon, haha, yes, I know, I'm so corny). Yes! only 6 more to go! I should be tired and in bed by now, but I am "amped" (spell check doesn't like that word, I don't know if it's even a word. If spell check doesn't likey - like the word "likey" then I suppose it's not a word-oh well!) Anyway, back to "amped" - because when I am on the chemo at home I take a steroid and zofran to make the nausea subside. The good part is that I have little to no nausea, the bad part is I feel like I'm on speed- not that I've ever taken/done(?) speed, nor have the desire to ever do such, but I can only imagine this is what speed would feel like.
Because I feel every blog post needs a picture or two or three or a zillion:

| Crystal Cove State Beach, (Laguna Beach, CA) Sept 2012 |
 |
| Awesome sand castle we "happened" upon. It was quite complex-probably took someone(s) all day to complete. |
 |
| This boy was in hog heaven, L-O-V-E-S playing with his trucks in the sand on the beach. |
 |
| This is why I love California. Our coast line is simply breath taking. Jojo and his stick too- every boy must have a stick in hand at all times. |
 |
| Someone was tired. So cute! |
 |
| From ocean to random delicious photo. If you visit Crystal Cove SB & you have a major sweet tooth like mwah, then I suggest you head down PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) to the "Sweet and Saucy Shop". One word, Yum! I think the mini lemon cupcake with the lemon frosting was my fav. The mini S'mores one was delish too though. The strawberry one was so good too! Oh and the strawberry macaroon was mmmmmm! |
 |
| Pic to prove this place exists. You can see the ocean from the shop. How perfect is that? |

| More Jojo having more fun in the sand. |
I ran across this Psalm tonight and it really spoke to me. These words written in Psalms are so real to me during this trial. Thank you Abba Father for your words of comfort to your children. Where would I be without You? (I don't ever personally want to find out the answer to that question by the way).
Psalm 62:1-2
My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my
salvation;
He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
v. 5-8
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my
salvation;
He is my fortress, I will not be
shaken.
My Salvation and my honor depend
on God;
He is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to Him,
for God is our refuge.
Are you finding your hope in God? Is He your comfort in difficult times? Trust in Him. Believe in Jesus. "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me'". (John 14:6)
Amen and Amen.
God is good ALL the time.
Blessings,
Debbie
