My parents bought a house built on and around huge boulders. Some of the walls were big rocks. 
My Mom would use a broom to
sweep down the sandy walls!
From the lower level the view was of a patio and more rocks. But, from the upstairs, you could see for what seemed like forever. They sat upon a rock at the West end of the San Fernando Valley and you could see the 30 miles to the East side.
I have to remember that I can only see the "downstairs" view of my life. But God, can see the "upstairs" view. He knows the very moment I will die and everything that will happen to me in-between. And He wouldn't put anything in my adventure that He won't carry me though. When I start to fear what will happen, I remind myself and God.
I had my port-insertion yesterday. Other than being a little groggy and in a little pain, it went well. I start chemo on the 8th. My treatments will be with two drugs, carboplatnim and gemcitabine. The first week I will receive both drugs, the second week only gemcitabine, and the third week nothing. I will do this for 6 cycles. The port is a "thingy" that they put under the skin, just below the collar bone. Then the tube is pulled up under your skin, over the collar bone. It is inserted in the inter-jugular vein, down that vein then to the heart (not in). They stick the needle through your skin and into the rubber part of the port-a-cath. That way they don't have to use the veins in your arm. It is hard on them.
I thank God that He CAN see forever!!! Nothing happens without Him!
