We had gone up for prayer before we went to see Dr. B. to hear the diagnosis... not for healing so much as out of obedience. I believe God can heal, but before we had gone to church that night and all through that day the words from Daniel 3, "But even if He does not..." kept repeating themselves in my mind. I felt that, this time, we were headed towards a "fiery furnace". What i *didn't* imagine, was that we would also be spared from the flames so thoroughly as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had been. We are in the middle of the third week of chemotherapy induction, i do really feel like we are cheating death a little. Sadie has had very little in terms of side effects. Some weepy/clingy *moments* and needing to snuggle, some bone pain, and voracious cravings and weight gain... but something stands out on the chart i have been keeping. Every day we have been able to put down "active" and "happy". Most days, there is nothing out of the ordinary for Sadie and her attitude has remained so up-beat. I am thankful for every good day and cherishing them as i think of the angel who was seen in the fire with the boys in Daniel. How's it Going?....It's Good.

Someday we'll see the whole picture and be even more amazed.
In the meantime, if you go broke buying bacon, we'll haul in some. :)
So in awe of God.
It's sweet to trust Him....
So good to hear, Jessie. Her little cousins don't forget to pray, often. Sadie's such a dolly, and i wish time could speed up and we could fastforward this, but as i watch, i am in awe of how God is working, and how beautifully you rise to the challenge...
You are amazing and strong my friend. Your family continues to be in our prayers. Thank you for sharing your tender momma heart with us!
