it seems posts and pictures on social media as of late have possibly misled people and because my goal has been to be honest, perhaps to a fault, i'd like to clarify. if you aren't interested, feel free to stop reading - my feelings won't be hurt. talking or speculating, that's what hurts.
as i've shared, matt's cancer could show up again at any point, it's rare, it's aggressive and we won't be at rest for a very long time. years. there's a high re-occurence rate based on what they know and this kind in this location makes it the "worst of the worst."
God has done great things, we get up each morning praising Him for breath and strength and grace and a Home that He went to prepare for us. but because of what "they" say, our lives could change with any given scan or appointment. are things good today? yes, is it guaranteed for tomorrow? no. so we are living. we are taking every moment to experience life and be excited about each day, seizing opportunities to share Him and His goodness. are we too busy? maybe. but that's something we re-evaluate each day, weighing our exhaustion against our day full of memories.
and cancer is expensive. if you've walked this road, you know. if you haven't, let me tell you, tens of thousands. out of pocket. and we have good insurance. having said that, this isn't a plea for help or pity or anything even remotely close. it's simply to share that God has faithfully provided for every bill, co-pay, prescription and scan, and occasionally He provides before we even know what's to come. i'm in awe of His goodness and faithful provision. i'm convinced this was part of His plan all along. my faith lacks, i freak out, but He's teaching me. after thursday's marathon day of appointments which resulted in co-pay shock, we didn't what else to do so i smiled at matt, he smiled back and at the same time we said, you're worth it. and i'll share, because He's good like that, the kids haiti trips were fully funded less than a week after they were asked to pray about joining the team, their trip to NY was gifted to them so they could be kids again after the year they've had. my family made sure i had an amazing, memorable 40th birthday with my love.
and i share this to clear anything up and of course, if you are so inclined, we appreciate continued prayer for our family and join us in rejoicing over the little (and big) things.
