It's all about Faith

As I'm driving to the hospital this morning to visit my lovely wife I think about all the things that she's facing as far as her calcium being high, her liver function not good, her weight low, nausea stopping her from eating and it seems like it's as bad as it's ever been.

It's always been bad from the very first diagnosis when Tgey said two months without treatment, two years with treatment.  That was 6 months ago, with 3 chemo treatments & a lot of natural supportive supplements. 

So here we are very low on the health meter but nothing,s really changed other than we're relying more and more on God because now things are really getting desperate and there's not much man can do in situations like this.

So this is where we really exercise our faith. This is what faith is all about.

This is where the rubber meets the road....

Easy to believe in God when things are going smoothly, when life is comfortable.   What's more challenging is the trust God in these times and trust that he will be true to his word that "by his stripes we are healed" especially when the doctors are saying there's not much hope. 

I have to tell you all that walking through this with my wife who's been bearing the brunt of this event is challenging. Being a caregiver is challenging. It certainly can be an emotional roller coaster. If I let myself worry about it I would be in agony physically wondering if she's going to make it or not.

But ultimately God's word promises he will heal us and if I can't rely on that then what's the point of having any faith. 

His peace that passes all understanding IS truly amazing!!!  Thankfully He provides that peace. 

As so now we wait for the healing to come.   

Jeremiah 17:7-8.  "Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out it's roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
