Kelly had surgery on April 9th to remove a mass in her neck, it turned out to be cancerous and they proceeded to remove 18 lymph nodes on the left side of her neck, an attempt to remove possible host sites for the cancer. she is doing well and recovering quickly- thank you all for your prayers through this, we needed it and we appreciate it.
in this time God has been showing me what is important, and what isn't. and also that I really don't have a right to complain. as bad as I'd like to think I have it, my life isn't bad. I have a beautiful, Healthy wife, wonderful kids, great friends, wonderful support from church...the lists goes on.
I’d rather not have to go through everything we’ve had to in the past few weeks, but this is life, and it is for those who choose to live. We have no assurances that it will be easy and many promises that if we intend on following God that it will be difficult.
I’ve been guilty of putting God in a box, making Him who I think He should be- I’ve missed out on a lot through that. It is times in a person’s life, a crisis of faith like facing cancer that God uses (if we let Him) to com out of the box and be real in our lives. in the normal day to day crap we can get so caught up on so many things that distract us from God, life and everything that God wants from us.
I’m not perfect, and I don’t have all the answers but I know who does and recently He’s reinforced to me that it is important to chase after Him, ask Him to search our hearts and reveal the areas that need change and re-create areas that have died. It isn’t enough to say you love God and want to do his will, give your desires legs and run with it.
so much has happened since I last wrote here- I'll catch up on some of the better things as time allows.
thank you for your prayers.
