Recovery - Day 6: Good News

Well, the best news that I can think of to share with you this morning is that Jesus walked right out of heaven and started walking (as soon as He could) to Calvary.  And there...well, for me (and I know, lots of you) that's where IT all started.
That, is the best news ever.
Period.
And next to that, I've had some other really good news in my life.
Kelly loved me enough to take a chance on me (it's working out pretty good).
A woman in Michigan decided we were the right parents for the baby in her belly she wouldn't be able to parent.  Ben is the result.
Katie was coming, Katie was coming!!
Mackenzie would arrive on the scene 4 short years later.
Our parents (& still 1 Grand) and 4 sibs+ spouses & their kids, are really special people, who want life's best for us.
We have great friends who are willing to dream and fight and love and risk with us.

And today, Dr. Yahanda walked into my room at Parkview and said...
"It's NOT Cancer".

So, the recovery continues with this deep understanding that we are firmly standing on a foundation made up of the BEST NEWS EVER, and then we walk toward whatever's next out of that spot.

We know many of you have been right alongside us fighting, praying, trusting, believing, and hoping for this good news.
We thank you.
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation.

Kelly will have more later.
For now, I'm sitting in my very uncomfortable, "when am I ever going to find the right setting for this contraption!", hospital bed, watching the sun, clouds, and sky start their day too.
And mostly...
CELEBRATING!!

Suze & Kelly too!!

  12. The kids and I were praying specifically for your labs this morning in the van. Answered Abby's questions of what if it is...the C word, and what if it isn't? Not a minute later I get the text from Mark - NO CANCER! Praised Jesus with tear filled eyes the whole way to our field trip and told anyone who would listen! SOOO thrilled for the Fair family!
