No one prolly reads this anymore...
Since no one reads this I feel safe...
And if someone does... it's because they check it randomly... or still feel a need to try and connect..
My mom starts all her treatment... and appointments today... I have not heard them talk about TIME or odds... or any of that... and frankly, I know if they did... it wouldn't be encouraging.
What is encouraging though is God.. I was reading some old entries from a DIFFICULT time in my life, seems silly and minor compared to all this, but I realized the pain and helplessness I felt back then. I did end up trusting and believing God would see me through, and show me better days... and HE DID!
The same is true here and now... Sometimes in the storm it is hard to hear him whisper his answer or reply... but it will come and it will come with GLORIOUS and AMAZING CARE, LOVE, and PERFECT TIMING!
Love is the greatest measure of life... and the life I live must be near the top of the charts... we spent the 2nd weekend in a row out in south haven... my parents, the OWENS', Tea, everyone... even EmO and her friend Rachel were there from Minn. It was really symbolic of what life is all about, its about love, family, friends, and living in Gods plan, warmth and his loving desire for us to love one another.
On a tangental note, Emily spoke repeatedly of how excited she is to spend time with my parents and to have them in Rochester with her. A blessing cloaked in something dark.... sometimes thats the way life is. Finding light in the darkness... seems to be much more.... hmmmmm rewarding? because... the journey is intrinsicly good.
Prayers and pleading intercession of:
