The Gray Unkown
Seven and a half months post-transplant, I thought I was good on the leukemia front. I went from being physically good to here we go again.
As my Blincyto treatment routine nears its end, the future is much more of a gray wall of unknown, like looking at a storm cloud bank. I have one more week of my 4 x 28 day infusion treatments broken up by 2 week breaks. After my infusion finishes next Thursday, I'll take a couple of week break, then they'll do a bone marrow biopsy to try to get a read on the front line of my bone marrow. My WBC counts are decent as are my overall blood counts.

I can't see beyond that gray wall, but God has given me the faith to trust Him that beyond that gray wall is an eternity of goodness, of living in the love and presence of Jesus. I might have to run the windshield wipers on high to get through that storm cloud, but there's sunshine on the other side.
Revelation 21
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”
And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.
Do you know Him, the Alpha and the Omega. Do you trust Him?
