scary

Brain tumor...

I had an mri done last week and it revealed a 4 cm tumor located in the base of my skull. i had thought that the headaches and numbness were side effects from pain meds...

this news is really rocking me. up til now i have been able to stand strong in hope and faith, now we are feeling pretty broken and overwhelmed.

Johnna and i have made i to the mexican clinic. it is an outpatient program, so we are staying in del rio tx, and the clinic picks us up and drops us off every day. We are loving the clinic so far, a little quirky, but alot of good reports and hopeful fellow cancer fighters. We were at the clinic when i was informed about the brain tumor, and we were instantly surrounded by caring praying friends that can COMPLETELY relate. we've met people who have been able to watch their tumors shrink and talking to people who have outlived their death sentences by 10 years.

for those of you who pray (and that better be everybody right now!) please pray for wisdom. we have some decisions to make about how to treat the brain tumor, so we definitely need some divine council.

game on!

For a GOD who can part seas, curing cancer is an easy task!! I have such fond memories of y'all from my time spent in Santa Rosa. We had such fun spending time with y'all and Bonnie and Nakia.

one of my college application essay prompts is "Write an essay in which you tell us about someone who has made an impact on your life and explain how and why this person is important to you." I'm writing about you.

We don't always have the answers to this kinds of things. But isn't it wonderful, Isaac that we know the one who does.

It is good to fight the good fight! But also remember to take time to rest in the Father's arms. He never needs rest and will fight for us when we do.

We are sending prayers and love your way family! And remember, no matter what happens each day, in Christ we ALWAYS win!

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil 4:6-8

We Love you!
