Beautiful words.

Spoken by beautiful people in our lives this week. While our emotions have run the gamut, our faith has been stronger than ever. And, we are surrounded ... completely surrounded on all sides ... by the most beautiful people with the most beautiful words. Caring, loving, genuine words. Words that say more than they are intended to say. Words that speak through the difficulty to touch hearts that need reassurance, friendship, family and love. From our precious family, to our wonderful Christian friends, to our medical team. We are grateful for your words. The power to heal and to kill is in a word. And, you spoke healing to us. All we know to do is say thank you for walking this with us.

We are home now. Michael is resting. We are tired, but refreshed to have come through a challenge stronger together in the unity of a Christ-centered marriage. God knew the diagnosis...he led us to the right place and people. We have talked alot ... more beautiful words spoken between husband and wife as we testified with each other what God is doing amid the challenge in each of us - separately and together.

He is in total control. Aren't those beautiful words?
