Thank God for Sabbath

I finished my first week of treatment. I feel exhausted. Even though I did not exert much physical work this past week, my body feels beaten up. I don't feel any physical pain yet, but I just feel so tired and fatigued. I'm really starting to understand what those terms mean.

My energy level is sporadic and when I do have energy, it only lasts in spurts. It's frustrating.

But through this experience, I am starting to appreciate, in more acute ways, the meaning of sabbath. Monday to Friday my body was assaulted with radiation and chemo, but on Saturday and Sunday, my body can rest. This precious rest means so much more to me now than before. Getting physical rest and finding rest in the LORD is becoming more poignant for me.

I'm sure as the treatment goes further down the road, the sabbath rest will hold even more significance to me.
