I can’t remember a time when I’ve had
such strong opposing emotions simultaneously…sadness and hope, great concern
and peace. I’ve been having a hard time articulating that this week and this
morning I read 2 Corinthians 6:10 - "as grieving yet always rejoicing; as
poor yet enriching many; as having nothing yet possessing everything". I’m
so thankful for the comfort, peace, and hope God’s word gives us and that God
always knows just what to say when I can’t find the words. Today we spoke to the oncologist and he confirmed that the tumor on
Eddie’s lung is cancer. The brain MRI showed that the cancer has not spread to
Eddie’s brain (Praise God!) and the pet scan results show that the cancer has
not spread beyond his lung and back.
Physically Eddie is tired…he is constantly fighting off pain. He
continues to remain in great spirits which continues to be a testimony to his
faith. Overall we have great peace as we are just starting to walk this very
very tough road. I was reminded earlier today that the Bible doesn’t promise us
a life without pain or suffering but it does promise us the freedom to not be
enslaved by pain and suffering while we rest in the assurance that full
deliverance from all pain and suffering is coming when Christ returns.
