I'm a Survivor!!!

For those of you that didn't get the chance to read our first e-mail, I have copied it below.

Hey guys-

Just wanted to send you an update on B. We found out today that he has Hodgkin's Lymphoma. So, that means that he has cancer of the lymph nodes. We are not sure if it has spread or where it is in his body, as of yet. We have appts scheduled throughout the week to figure out more. Then, Thursday afternoon he will have his first appt. with the oncologist to determine how we will begin to treat this!

B has a rock solid attitude. The first words out of his mouth when I told him that the doctor said he had cancer, were, "cool, this means I get to be a cancer survivor." Then, he started wondering if he is now eligible for any special grants to dental school as a cancer survivor! So, he has an awesome attitiude! It's quite humbling to me.

His goal in all of this is God's glory! Wow! It's amazing to watch his spirit and fight! I admire him so much! Anyway, please be in prayer for:

*God's glory to be made known through this
*Healing for B
*Wisdom for the physicians
*Peace for our family
*Financial provision

Thank you all so much!

because of Him,

M

Praise the Lord, blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in His commands.
Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever.
He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD!!
Psalm 112: 1,6-7

September 11th

This day marks quite an anniversary for our nation.

At the same time, it marks an anniversary for our family. This is the day that my husband declared that he would be a Cancer Survivor. Praise Jesus, it was/is true!

Three years ago today, the doctor told me that B had cancer and left the recovery room assuming B would take longer to come out of anesthesia. Instead, B woke up and asked me what had happened. It was at this point, that I fell more crazy in love with this man than I already was...if you'd believe it, that love just keeps on growing!!! You can read the link, to see his response when I had to tell him that he had cancer. He still amazes me.

I admire this man, that I get to stand next to every day, with all that is in me. I want to be like him when I grow up...His faith in the Lord is a daily lesson & a challenge for me. May you also be challenged by the man that he is and continues to be...
