Cancer. Part 3.

Here's my 3rd email update... and before I get to it, I want to talk about Easter, because that's really what THIS is all about for me!!  Think for a minute about Jesus and WHY He is here... He is God's Son who was born into the world, became man like all of us to experience life as we do, yet without sin. he totally gets the experience of being human and the feelings that we all feel. He faced this world and lived blameless. He was killed... crucified on a cross and was completely dead. Until 3 days later, He rose again here on Earth before joining His Father in Heaven. Crazy story huh? [This is just a quick version, theres so much more to this story that I can't possibly sum it up in just a few sentences.] But what's even more crazy... that Jesus WILLINGLY gave up His life for us... ALL OF US! He could have brought himself down off the Cross, He could have chosen a way out, but He didn't. That's how much He loves us, that's how much He's willin...

I still didn't know and we were spending John's 2nd birthday getting an ultrasound guided biopsy (to determine if the mass from the MRI was cancer or not) rather than getting to go spend the day celebrating him. I had to wait through the weekend - and his birthday party- for the results of whether is would be cancer or not. The waiting was the hardest few days I've experienced so far. I can't even sugar coat those few days. It was awful. Here's the email -- My precious friends and family-  Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers, your encouragement, your fasting, man y'all know how to rise up! I just left the breast center and had the ultrasound. They found one spot, but not the other.  Deuteronomy ...
