Our God is greater....

Tonight seems fitting to write about how much I am blessed. To say I am blessed is a understatement to how I feel, but God is so amazing I am really speechless. I have a few things I want to share with you all. First being great news about my Dad. Today he met with the oncologist for the first time, and we are humbled by the incredible news. His cancer is in the second stage, and only localized in the lymph nodes. Best news is that it is treatable, and with extensive chemo, he has a great prognosis! He starts chemo in a few weeks, and it will be once a week for 7 months with periods of rest. How awesome is our God? honestly we couldnt have asked for a better outcome. This is so encouraging for us to hear, and we are forever praising our gracious Lord for the time He is giving us as family, and the opportunity for my Dad to continue serving Him on this earth. We were praying for Gods will to be done, but of course our prayers were specific for him to be completely healed. And He is faithful to answer our prayers in ways only He can make sense of.
Dad, you are my best friend. I love the time we have shared together the last 2 years, and how much closer we have become. Moving down here to live with you and pursue my schooling was the best decision, I look back at all our fun times just hanging out and all the times you have been my shoulder to cry on, my encourager, and my Dad. Your a great father, and watching you grow in Christ has been so encouraging and I know you will continue following Him the rest of your time on earth. It was hard growing up away from you, and only seeing you every other weekend was difficult. But no matter what, you were always my daddy and I knew I could always lean on you for comfort. And I did! all the times I called you in frustration about life, and when I was hurting from a bad relationship you were always there for me to dry my tears and to remind me that I was special, even when I didnt feel like I was. Thank you for loving me Dad, and for being strong in all of this. Your so brave, I've crumbled so many times in this trial and you have stood strong, acknowledging that God has a perfect plan. Im so thankful for the extra time God is giving us, I love you!! My other exciting news is going to have to wait till my next blog... all I can say is God is good, and faithful when you abide in Him, and acknowledge Him in all your ways!
