Wait...I have five more minutes!


"Welcome to Amanda's five minutes. Thanks for spending this time with me as we go through a series of treatments and surgeries to kick the butt of Breast Cancer...why 5 minutes? I always need five more minutes to clarify a conversation, to make my point, to drive to an appointment, to grocery shop. I live in that 5 minutes close call on being almost too late but almost always on time! Now, every next five minutes is the survival of my life. This is about a transformation of priorities, a journey of God meeting me in the middle, laughing as I go, and learning how to relax and get well. I just got a knock at the door, guess what my response was...Five more minutes!"

Treatment 3 of 12





Hi! Here we are today at treatment 3 of 12 in Round 2. I included a pic of me so you can see how great I look ;). Haha! I took about 15 pics sitting here in parking lot before I decided to post this one. People who can see me are wondering about me. I just went in to do lab work and have an hour to kill before treatment. They do bloodwork to make sure counts are good before loading me up. My thoughts this morning were to walk during this time, or get a donut. Neither are appealing at the moment and Spaldings is closed. So I will use this time to pray, how about that conclusion?! :)

Father, I pray today for the nurses and doctors caring for their patients today. Give them wisdom and guidance. I pray for the families who are experiencing health issues- some that are under control and some that are not. I pray that you will provide your healing and comfort to these them. I pray you give them strength and security, the only kind that can come from you. I pray for my dear friends reading this, that each one knows how special he or she is to me- for those I know so well and those I do not. I pray that you lift them up today. I pray that their day is light and full of you. I pray against insecurity, doubt and fears. I pray that they see you in the middle of all they are experiencing and decisions they are making. I ask that you bless them with your favor and with your peace today. Let this prayer wash over them and give a new perspective on whatever it is they may face today. I love them in Jesus name. Thank you for each one you have put into my path. Thank you for sending your son just for us. In Jesus name I pray, Amen
