Feels like I'm cheating, but here is a quick update on our lives!
Yesterday - We were ministered to by the Watoto Children's Choir from Uganda. Wow. They are beautiful, talented, amazing, eloquent, creative...but that is not what spoke to my heart. The clear message for me was that Jesus is our Hope. These children each have a heart breaking story, yet the joy of the Lord is clearly their strength. Julia wrote in an email to a friend (yes, I read her email : )) "I can't believe how they go through much worse times than us but yet don't complain but go to the Lord (they made me cry)" My heart is full that my daughter got to hear that message. What a great lesson to learn at age 11!
Today - I finally got to talk with a woman that I have been praying for, she has had cancer for awhile. She has experienced radiation, chemo, stem cell transplant, hair loss, nausea, surgeries etc....She was such a great encouragement to me and I can't believe it took so long for me to meet her. (Side note: LCCC family, she is having another transplant in a few weeks and really needs our help, they are a military family...connect with me if you can do a meal or take care of kids). I had hoped to encourage her, but again, was in turn blessed.
Tomorrow - We have appointments with our Surgeon and our Oncologist's nurse practitioner. Dave and I are asking God to make it clear if we need to seek out another surgeon. We like this one, but just aren't sure if he's "the one" : )
There you have it kinda short, mostly sweet and to the point!

More Questions Than Answers
On January 1, I shared that I felt by this point in my life I would have "more answers than questions." I also confessed that fe...
Praying that God shows you His will about surgeons.
ReplyDeleteSo good that Julia heard that message. Perhaps one day she will be able to encourage you as my Tina has encouraged me. So amazing when they experience the Lord for themselves when young. So much more time to grow.
Will continue to keep you and Dave in prayer.
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. Amen
This post reminds me the song "I Am" by Mark Schultz. I am reminded of the eternalness of God; who was and is and is to come; who is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteI would have linked the actual song, but didn't like any of the videos. : )
I am the maker of the Heavens
I am the bright and morning star
I am the breath of all Creation
Who always was
And is to come
I am the One who walked on water
I am the One who calmed the seas
I am the miracles and wonders
So come and see
And follow me
You will know
Chorus:
I am the fount of living water
The risen Son of man
The healer of the broken
And when you cry
I am your savior and redeemer
Who bore the sins of man
The author and perfecter
Beginning and the end
I am
I am the spirit deep inside you
I am the word upon your heart
I am the One who even knew you
Before your birth
Before you were
Chorus:
Before the Earth (I am)
The universe (I am)
In every heart (I am)
Oh, where you are (I am)
The Lord of lords (I am)
The King of Kings (I am)
The Holy lamb (I am)
Above all things
Chorus:
Yes, I am almighty God your father
The risen son of man
The healer of the broken
And when you cry
I am your savior and redeemer
Who bore the sins of man
The author and perfecter
Beginning and the end
I am

Hope. It's the greatest word in all of scripture.
