struggled with the whole idea of suffering in God's
plan. God is sovereign and there are things in life
that we will never understand until we are with Him.
I am just the kind of person that doesn't like things
that are hard to understand. So anyways, in the midst
of our suffering with Jordan, again I have wrestled
with God. There are no satisfying answers to why and
so I have decided not to ask, but it is hard to make
sense of it all. However, what is amazingly clear is
God's love for us through the body of Christ.
You...our church, our friends and our family, even
people we don't know have showered us with blessings.
You have suffered with us, cried with us, rejoiced,
encouraged, served and loved us in ways that have
reminded us every day that God loves and cares for us
through our deepest suffering. Our heartfelt and
sincere gratitude goes out to you.
We are thankful that Jordan is having very little pain
and is sleeping better. We are hoping that the tumor
will have shrunk enough that they will be able to
remove the catheter tomorrow. He goes in for several
appointments tomorrow and then is at Children's all
day Friday for chemotherapy.
Brent and I were able to go out to dinner for our 13th
anniversary yesterday. It was refreshing to get out
for a little bit. We had a great dinner down at Shell
Creek in Edmonds. Today, my friends Kristi and
Michele came by with all the stuff to make Christmas
cookies. Jordan had a good time shaking sprinkles and
the kids made some real works of art. Lots and of
marshmallows, sprinkles and candy. It is hard to
actually find the cookie under some of the
decorations.
In the afternooon, the kids and I were at our
homeschool Christmas party and Brent was home with
Jordan , and got a big surprise when the mayor stopped
by! He brought a sweet letter and Christmas wishes
along with a generous check from the city of Edmonds.
We were again amazed.
We'll give you the updates after tomorrow. Thank you
for your prayers.
Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who
continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for for
sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him. Psalms 126:5-6
