AHH!!! what and incredible week, filled with joy, sadness, hope, love, prayers, smiles, and ultimately many blessings. We serve an amazing faithful sovereign God who LOVES us in an extraordinary way. At church this morning Pastor Brad asked us to think about this...he was talking about what it really meant to GENUINELY love one another. what is it to have unconditional love for each other? it amazes me that even though Jesus knew that he would be beaten, and tortured and killed, that never stopped Him from opening his arms to the people. He still healed the sick, prayed for the weary, and LOVED each and every person, even knowing he would be killed for US! that is unconditional love. being completely self less and concerned only for his people. He is constant, the same always, never hardened to us, even when we sin against him. I want to exhibit that Christ like love. I want to love the people who hurt me, and pray for them with a genuine heart. Its a work in progress, its a constant prayer for me, and im excited for God to grow me in this area. Im really going to challenge myself this week and try to exhibit His love, regardless of the situation.
UPDATE on my pops:
well, we got the pathology report back and the news is hopeful! Dr. Cao says they think we caught it at a good time. so we are anxious to start radiation soon to kill this cancer!!! His spirits are good, besides being pretty loopy from the pain meds. Today he walked for a half hour, with no help. and then walked again with me for 15 minutes so im very proud of him. the more he moves around and exercises his muscles the faster he will heal. soon they will take his G-tube out, which is his source of nutrition right now so we are anxious for him to be on a regular diet to see how he digests the food. He has been having lots of visitors. So for that i thank you all! And thank you all for your prayers. from the bottom of my heart, they are really helping our family and my dad.
Love you guys <3
