Illness

We've really had a lot going on lately. I cannot even begin to convey all of the ups, downs, twists, and turns. But I can honestly say that it is our turn. We have been and continue to be so blessed.

Everywhere we look, there are heartaches and troubled times for so many. And for so long, we have been been, at least for the most part, excluded from the brunt of the pain, the difficulty, and the tears.

Until now.

Husband's mother has been diagnosed with Stage IV (metastatic) lung cancer.

The reality is that the prognosis is poor. The treatments are projected to be devastating. The struggle will be great.

But with God, we have no worries. Grandma has been strong and optimistic. She has a will to fight, a will to live.

Of course, we have no idea what tomorrow holds. Not for her. Not for anyone. And that's okay.

If you will, pray for her. For us. For her doctors. For God's will.

But he said to me,

"My grace is sufficient for you,

for my power is made perfect in weakness."

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly

about my weaknesses, so that

Christ's power may rest on me.
