Noah's Arch

It's the last night before my third treatment! I'm starting to get the routine down. I know I'm going to be exhausted until at least the end of the weekend, my jaw will be sore, and I will be craving foods like a pregnant woman. Something very unfortunate for my husband. While I'm laid out on the sofa, the poor guy has to ride all over town picking up whatever food I've ordered to fix my next craving. Not to mention the 5+ days that I'm down and out, all household maintenance falls on his shoulders. He starts the laundry before he leaves for work, finishes it when he gets home, straightens up the house, and then picks up supper. I am so grateful for my husband.

He and I got married just this past august. We were only engaged for two months. Of course, everyone thought we were pregnant or stupid for getting married at such a young age. We were just being obedient. Harrison came to me last year on Christmas day and told me he felt God wanted us to get married. I told him he had lost his mind. Four months later I found myself crying and shaking from excitement in my in laws living room because God had just told me the very same thing. We didn't know why. We figured we had been together for two years and we were emotionally prepared to take the next step in our relationship. I was fixing to start nursing school, Harrison was going to take care of me financially- not a responsibility for a "boyfriend," that's the job of a husband.

God has reveled himself big time. When I told people we were getting married because it's what I felt God wanted us to do, I felt like Noah telling everyone he was building an
arch because God told him to. I felt silly. It never stopped me from talking about it but I knew what people thought of me. God told us to expect that though. It is written in His word what the world will think of us for living for Him. I wish I had a reference. I've read it several times though.

After I was diagnosed with cancer and became totally dependent on my husband I felt like Noah when the flood hit. We took a giant leap of faith being obedient to God.... And great is thy faithfulness.
