It is well with my soul

it is well with my soul

Just after my 4th chemo session I was going through a rough patch emotionally. I was allergic to one of the chemotherapy drugs I was given and my team of doctors was in discussions to maybe stop the chemotherapy. I was sitting in church one Sunday morning and we were singing a song by Bethel. The words was It is well with my soul. I loved that song and through everything I have face in the path was always able to say those words. But that morning I couldn’t sing it. I was scared and was in no place to confess those words because I was nowhere near being ok. Just as our pastor was going to start his sermon he said that there are people who are struggling to sing those words – It is well with my soul. He said that, that was ok. God knows what you are going through and even though you cannot say that you are ok now, know that you will be. I was so touched that God knew at that moment what I was going through and that he was just reminding me that even though I am not there yet, I will be.
