Well, I am not sure where to begin. This week has been one filled with many emotions. On Tuesday, Dan found out he has prostate cancer. The word "CANCER" scares us tremendously. I truly never thought we would be here and definitely did not foresee this on the near radar for our life. We are very thankful that it has been caught early, we have the latest technology here in Louisville, and the cure rate is very high. Our lives this year have been filled with many trials. We are not sure why we are going thru this, but we are . We pray that we can give the Lord the praise and glory that he rightly deserves. He did not give us the cancer-- this fallen sinful world did that. The Lord will get us thru it though. He provides when we do not know He is there. He will be here with us for this too.
We ask for prayers for our kids. Our new 4 still do not speak English and do not understand what is happening. They can see us crying and they know something is going on. I hope our hugs and kisses reassure them that all is good. I wish I could tell them that Jesus Loves them and will protect them and provide.
We ask for prayers for Josh, Kayleb and J'Dyn. They have been great with this. The day Dan found out, we sat down with them and told them eveything. They had a few questions, but totally said all will be ok. THey said the Lord will provide. They are right! Love the faith of a child. They have had a few questions since but they seem to be doing well. Jesus is so amazing to protect their hearts and comfort them. YEH!
We ask for prayers for the tests that Dan has taken and will take this week to all come back fine. The test are done to reveal if the cancer has spread. We do not want that!
We ask for prayers of comfort for us. This has been a huge kick in the gut for us. We still are waiting to wake from the nightmare. May we be glorifing to the Lord thru it all. May HE use us to share His faithfulness to those that do not know HIm.
