Sheryl and Dave-I am so sorry to hear about all of this. What a road you have traveled! I am praying for you and will check this site to keep updated. Be encouraged! Someone is trying to silence you and we won’t have it! Love you both. Big hugs.
I am sad you are in the "club" so to speak, and we are praying for you both. Cancer is such an emotional roller coaster, to put it plainly. And it's easy to worry about what lies ahead. But always remember even on the bleakest days, that not only are God and Jesus there for you -- providing courage, love and guidance -- but so is the love and support of all your friends and family. That is what got me through all my treatments, and I know it will for you too. Your emails to me, Sheryl, and the visits from you and Dave, were unforgettable, as was all the kindness from the entire extended family -- and even from complete strangers. I particularly liked this passage: Matthew 6:33: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." I don't know the Bible as you do, but this one really carried me when I was feeling overwhelmed. -- Katie
The big "C" is always hard to deal with, but so much more when you've seen people healed when you prayed for them, and now this? There is an enemy who seeks to kill, steal & destroy, and while it may look like he's winning - know that the Lord has seen your hard work for HIS Kingdom, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. May peace abound, and may you see HIS hand all over this process. Love you both!
We are very familiar with the Caring Bridge site. It can be so helpful. Both of you will be in our prayers. Thanks for sharing and God bless your family.
Sooo sorry to hear that you’re traveling a path called cancer! It can be a path lined with many unpleasant obstacles and detours. It’s often filled with a bazillion words you struggle to pronounce let alone understand! You get to meet more medical personnel than you ever imagined, have more tests and scans that you must endure, sleep in more hospital beds that are not as comfy as your own, rearrange your life to fit the whims of cancer, answer a million questions over and over and find glimmers of joy in the midst of upheaval. So many unknowns and things that test your faith to it’s limits seem to crawl out of the woodwork. In the midst of it all, isn’t it magnificent to know the ONE who never changes, NEVER leaves or forsakes us, is the Great physician and loves us with a love unmatched by anything or anyone? Yes the cancer path totally stinks in all it’s ways — but the One who walks beside you sticks closer than a brother. His name is Jesus! I wish with all my heart you weren’t on this path but I’m so glad you both have Jesus as your dearest companion to get you through! You are precious to so many and I am storming Heavens gates on your behalf! Love you both! Kath
