Here is a link to a blog by a guy who we went to bible school with and sang at our wedding.
I don't know what to say--his is a LONG, HARD journey. He and his family really need your prayers in the coming months. I've kept up with him some, but haven't really contacted him for years. The one thing I have appreciated about him is his ability to lament...publicly. And even though he has lamented and grieved publicly (and been chastised for it) he still holds strong and true to his faith in the God Almighty. He doesn't desire death of course, but he knows where he is going, should this treatment not work. But if that were the case, he leaves behind a wife and three small kids. He has walked a thousand miles through the valleys and desert and has thirsted for more of God. He has been very open with the pain, physically and emotionally, that this journey has entailed. He trusts God.
Please pray with and for him!
This is our story-our story of walking out our faith journey. Our story of the whys, the processes, the transitions, the questions, the feelings, the joys, the triumphants, the frustrations. This is the true, honest, not always pretty record of our journey.
“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers
"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther
