The Beauty Of His Detailed Hand

Sep 6th, 2007 by angie | 10

Once again, we are overwhelmed… mostly by God’s faithfulness and goodness to us in placing His hand of protection over us and stopping the cancer from spreading beyond the lymph nodes. We are awed by how He displayed His love for us in answering our prayers and the prayers of our family and friends. We are amazed and humbled by the love y’all have shown us.

All Clear!!

Sep 5th, 2007 by brian | 34

We just got back from the Doctor… the CT scan showed no sign of cancer remaining in her body. She’s clear! From here we still face chemo, but for today we are just celebrating an end of sorts.

They got it all.

Thank you all so much for everything! I’m sorry for everyone who we haven’t replied to over the last few weeks, we really appreciate all of your encouragement and the way you have loved us so well. And your prayers, we have felt them. This of course has really grown us in ways we hadn’t anticipated- we’ve grown together, and we’ve grown deeper. God is faithful. Not that he wouldn’t be if it had been otherwise, but it’s so much easier to say it when you are rejoicing… isn’t it?

Psalm 87:5-7

Sep 4th, 2007 by angie | 2

I have been clinging to my Bible these days, and I find myself asking Brian question after question each night before we go to bed. Last night I was searching for a specific verse I had read earlier in the day that I wanted to ask him about… a verse I was struggling to believe. I couldn’t remember exactly where it was. I kept saying, “I think it’s Psalm 87:5″, but when I got there, it wasn’t. When I got there I realized that God was leading me to Psalm 87:5 for a specific reason… that I didn’t need to dwell on my doubts last night, but that I needed to hear who I am and how I am loved. God is in the details!

A Quiet Heart

Sep 1st, 2007 by angie | 4

Brian and I are overwhelmed by the love, prayers, support and encouragement we have received these last few weeks. We are well-loved and well-cared for and so thankful for all of you—our friends and family! I am up and around a bit more today, but I still fatigue easily and am experiencing a good bit of pain after the follow-up appointment yesterday. Most of the pain is my emotional pain, though, as I struggle with the questions, the fears, the doubts, the hurt of all of this…
