God's Ways are Best

Rob has been in Texas for almost a month and I MISS him like CRAZY!! This month has been like an ETERNITY to me and the girls! Not quite sure when he gets to come home yet, but I know it isn't real soon.  A lot has happened since he left. Sick kids, dead battery, and other things too. Nothing to life shattering! Normal day to day things until yesterday :-)

Yesterday my Mom went to see her Cancer Doc due to pain she has had in her arm. Blood work came back great, BUT they found a lump in her breast. On Friday she is going to be having a mammogram and PET scan. These tests will help us to know what they are looking at. The doctor is pretty sure she has breast cancer due to the lump and the pain. My heart dropped when she told me and my mind went back 7&1/2 years ago when we found out about her Lymphoma in her leg. My Mom means the world to me and I don't want to watch her go through this again. I don't like that she is in pain and facing this again. Yes, I am selfish and want to bury my head in the sand, BUT I am so THANKFUL that I know the Master Healer and I can trust Him no matter what we find out. God is good no matter the outcome. His ways are best even in hearing the scary words Cancer has returned! I don't understand why this is happening and I know it is not for me to understand. I am ever thankful for a mother that trusts the Lord even in stormy weather. I am most thankful that God gave her a wonderful, loving husband 5 years ago. She is not going to face this trial alone on this earth. God gave her Gary and I know he will be with her every step of the way.

Please pray for our family as we face this scary time together. I am reminded of the song "Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus." I pray this will be my song through this trial for I know when I trust in Jesus ALL fears cease, and I know He will see me through the entire trial! God is so good to me!

"'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus"

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to take Him at His Word;

Just to rest upon His promise,

And to know, “Thus says the Lord!”

Refrain

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

O for grace to trust Him more!

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to trust His cleansing blood;

And in simple faith to plunge me

’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Refrain

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just from sin and self to cease;

Just from Jesus simply taking

Life and rest, and joy and peace.

Refrain

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,

Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;

And I know that Thou art with me,

Wilt be with me to the end.
