David's Health Update

As I write this, I’m gazing out my front window, with its large, enveloping, expansive view. I’m breathing…

Yesterday, David had a CAT-scan, which revealed they found another tumor in our 27-year-old beloved firstborn. We are terribly sad. We are utterly indebted to you for your partnership in prayer and love over this last year.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. - 2 Corinthians 4:8,9

I’ll soon share more about next steps, but in the meantime, as we grieve, along with mothers and fathers, families and friends since the beginning of time, and at this COVID-19 time, and united, yell, “It’s not supposed to be this way!”

I also remember, (though begrudgingly right now, I’ll admit):

We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body,

For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. - 2 Corinthians 4:10-12

Ok, Lord. If this is the way it must be. 

But have mercy, I pray.

In the meantime, I’m preparing for Mother’s Day. For every mother of children at home with her over the course of COVID-19, or well beyond, we want to celebrate and care for, you. Frankly, COVID-19 is highlighting a different kind of virus that can rapidly take down our moms if we’re not paying attention. But not you. Not us. Together we’ll care for each other.

I’m real because God is so real.
