I was diagnosed this week with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and I begin chemo treatment next week. While these are hard words to hear, my faith is in God and I know He loves me and desires good for His children. Regarding prayer requests, I will start with the big one; of course I want God to cleanse me of this disease, I don't want it. The peace I have received from Him so far is I am to walk this journey for now. How long that is I do not know and He isn't telling me so that's OK. It is enough to know He is holding me and taking each step with me. My sons (24, 21, 19, 15, 6) are taking it hard, especially the middle three, they are scared and still processing this news. Please pray God grants them a peace while they come to an understanding in their own time. My wife is also hurting, but like me the news was actually better than we were expecting. From my symptoms and blood tests, we were anticipating one of acute types, which can really rip pages out of the calendar. Lastly, pray that God enables me to be a vehicle of His glory and grace; for reasons that are unknown to me, He has set me on a course I would not have chosen for myself, but I trust Him and know that He is good.
