It's been a while since I've updated on here. Life has been insanely busy and on top of it- I've been fighting a head cold.. so I've been staying clear of dad. I refuse to increase his risk of being sick from my being around him. It was exciting today. Wendy, Kameron, Kendra, and myself went with Mom and Dad to get our Christmas tree. I've been getting Christmas trees with Dad for years and years.. and the last couple of years we've done it as a family. It's fun.. and a fantastic family memory- hopefully one that my children will remember for years to come! I'm corny- I know.

Dad is doing well. He had a CAT scan on Friday and gets the results tomorrow just before he starts ROUND 3 of chemo. Ugh. Hard to believe it's time for another round of chemo already. We are hoping and praying that the results tomorrow are encouraging. My first and foremost prayer is that he is healed and a miracle has been given to us! If God's will is to not give us our miracle right now.. then I am praying that tomorrow's news is encouraging!

Matthew 9:27-30
27As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!" 28When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" "Yes, Lord," they replied. 29Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you"; 30and their sight was restored.

Lord God- Great Physician and Merciful Father- Thank you for being present in my life. Thank you for the family that You have blessed me with. Thank you for preparing me for such a time as this! Lord, I lift my father's health to You. I stand in awe of Your magnificent power and ask that You stretch Your Holy Spirit into my father and heal him of his cancer. I pray that when he meets with his oncologist tomorrow that good news be delivered. Father God, You are in control and I ask, no- I bend my knee in supplication that You cure his cancer- that You erase the infected cells from his body. Lord God - all GLORY be unto YOU! I believe that You are more than able to answer this prayer and that You CAN cure him. Lord I trust in You and know that Your WILL is based on truth beyond my understanding. I pray that Your will can be a miracle for Dad. Lord, I lift this prayer to You by the name above all other names, Jesus Christ, Amen!
