Despite the blood boiling disobedience that can normally happen with 3 kids ages 5 and under on an evening when my husband is at work in the ER, I feel the need to appreciate those crazy little buggers tonight more than ever.
Two families that we have the privilege of rubbing shoulders with at our church are both going thru tremendous faith testing trials. Both families have little girls with cancer. One baby girl is just a few months younger than Hazel and is struggling with brain cancer. The other family has a 3.5 year old daughter who is in the same class as Vrai. She was just diagnosed with a cancerous tumor growing on her skull. Both stories just bring me to tears.
There are times in life when the phrase and doctrine of "God is good." get put to the test. When all the props get pulled out from under you and you can't tell which way is up, God is still good. Our extremely limited human understanding can hardly fathom it, but God doesn't waste anything and is sovereign in all He does and allows. We've experienced the rubber hitting the road in this area and it is NOT easy. I am amazed and encouraged by these families and these mom's especially as they walk through this bitter time with amazing faith and thankfulness to God.
You can follow these families' journeys at:
The Conleys
and
The Alvarados
Please lift them up in prayer and be encouraged by their faith!
Savoring the sweet moments....
