As I read through the past two days of letters that my parents have sent me I realize now, more than ever, the legacy of faith that they have given me and my sisters. It takes difficult times in our lives to realize how much we really need the Lord. I have always known that my parents faith is important to them and they have lived that faith out well before us and the world, but it wasn't until this past week when I realized the depth of their dependence on the Lord. I read their posts and see the amazing testimony of dependence on Christ. My prayer throughout this journey with my mom will be that God gets the glory in all circumstances, whether it's waiting on test results or waiting in a room for a surgery to be complete. God is in this and that is absolutely apparent in the way that God has continued to be the constant support for mom and dad through this. We may never know this side of glory why the Lord allows for difficult situations to arise, but we do know that we have a God who is faithful. We cling to that during our time of waiting.
Continue to pray for mom and dad as they await test results and then come up with a "game plan" for the battle that lay ahead. We have felt the prayers of many and know that many of you are storming the gates on behalf of our family. We are grateful.
