My dad just arrived back from Houston. Many stories he brought with him about the, "Walking Dead." MD anderson is a Hospital full of cancer patients and their families. A place that you would expect would be full of sorrow, fear, and death. However, the opposite is true of this 'Cancer Hospital.' Many stories of Life and Faith seem to emerge from there trip. Many people that are sick, yet are hopeful, wanting to live life. There are countless stories of people who my parents were asked to pray for, or to put in the words of sara, "Are y'all prayer warriors?" "Can you interceed over me?" "I'm in need of Christ touch!"
This is only the tip of the iceberg...many, many more stories....
For my dad, they are giving him the strongest mix of chemicals--a deadly dose for the Cancer. Since he is young, good health--they are going big. They are taking 9 weeks and re-evaluating. The doctor said, "This is our chance--we have one chance at this--this deadly dose is the only chance. After nine weeks, we can hope for a miracle. I have seen miracles..."
Now this might be bad news--but that is what i have been praying all along and really the only choice we have---All we have is God, thats all we ever had, and is all we ever need. I can just envision nine weeks, writing again quoting from the doctor, "Well, all i can say, we have seen a miracle...."
It is this future hope that i rejoice and that I now live.
