Sustainer

He, Jesus, will sustain us! He is always worthy to be praised. His name was the only word I was able to utter after the blow to my gut today.  The Dr. wouldn't have had to say a word. . . .I knew by the look on her caring face.
    I am so grieved to have to share that the tumor has grown. We have not lost our hope. . . although. . . it does feel like mine, at this point, is being held onto by just my pinky. JUST BEFORE the Dr. came in to talk to us the Child Life Specialist was in our room asking Elaina to cast her vote for the Elf's name that was going to be at the clinic. .  . One of the names was "Hope" and wouldn't you know it . . . that is the one she chose.


A picture is worth a thousand words, or so someone once said. . . and, well, this picture says so much to my heart! It reminds me of the hope God whispered years ago. . . "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11b.  I do not know why I chose this picture to post yesterday on Facebook but God must have known I would need it. . . He knows I need reminders often. .  . 
Our Dr. wants to talk with some others and research a little and then she'll call us.  Oh the wait.. . this was always the part  I hated.  Most likely we will be doing another MRI in two months.  PLEASE PRAY! We need wisdom. . . peace. . . healing. . . and strength for this next chapter.
