New "Do"

Got a new shorter hairdo... Here's Hannah and I goofing off in the backyard.

Doing Better...

Tammy is doing well after her surgery. It's been a long two weeks, but she has handled everything like a real trooper and I have been encouraged by her strength. If I were the one facing all that she has faced, I don't think I would have been as strong. She is in some moderate to severe pain but has managed to get around quite a bit.

We have had so much support and love through this entire ordeal that it's hard to get down about it. The church family has cooked meals for our family, and all our friends aand family have supported us with prayers, cards, and she's received the most gorgeous bouquets of flowers!! God has shown his face to us through this time and we can now say we know him as "our healer" and "our provider." He is our strong tower.

"For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe."

~Psalm 61:3

Prayer

Cancer has no bias.

It has no preference.

It doesn't care if you're young, if you're in love, or if you're happy.

"For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that we may live together with him. So encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing...

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances,

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

~1 Thessalonians 5: 9-18

Help me, Lord, to give thanks in all circumstances... because today I am struggling.
