Please forgive my delay in updating on Randy. Fatigue has settled upon me and communicating is not my strength at times. Randy is home! No more chest tubes - though he continues to loose a great deal of drainage; and he is continuing to deal with pain. But he has been able to rest, take a real shower and ventured out just a little yesterday. The excursion was exhausting but refreshing to his spirit.

Now we wait once more. Wait upon the Lord to renew Randy’s strength. Wait upon the Lord for direction as Randy meets with the oncologist at the end of the month. Wait upon the Lord for what Randy’s next steps will be when it comes to his ministry and work with families. We just wait.....

Not a bad choice to make - this waiting. I have been reminded that it is in the waiting upon the Lord that I have found peace in the middle of this storm. Sometimes in the waiting it has just meant a nap but other times it has meant learning to lean in and trust Him for how this was going to potentially look and watching His hand move in our lives - performing miracle after miracle. Maybe the greatest miracle is just learning to wait.

I share this only to convey the real truth about Randy’s road to recovery from this thing called cancer; and to convey some of the heart truths that God has been showing me. Thank you again for your support and prayers for us during this time.
