Kyle is 14 today. Hard to believe he is that old already. Remember the day he was born? We were able to celebrate even though we knew challenges were ahead. God gave us the time to adjust to the plan He had for Kyle and for us. What a hidden blessing we have in this child.
Seems like he should be celebrating with his father today as well, but we are grateful for the sweet memories we have. Our ways are not always God's ways and yet we trust His wisdom and goodness and know His sweet love for us. This is a favorite picture of Jim and Kyle that really shows the love and the bond between them.
Just wanted to say how much I appreciated your talk at MOPS last week. It meant so much to me to hear your testimony. It brought back a lot of the bad (and sometimes good) of going through cancer with a spouse. It is a difficult journey. I don't think I could have ever made it without my God!
ReplyDeleteMy mom lost my dad to a sudden heart attack at age 48 (I was 16) and she had so many of the same fears and questions that you are facing. She wondered how she would make it financially and put me through college and so many other things. Now, almost 20 years later, she has witnessed God as her Jehovah Jireh--my God who provides. He has provided for her every step of the way. She has seen this firsthand.
Thanks so much for sharing your heart and testimony. The hardest testimony for me to share is the one regarding Sam and his cancer story. The courage and faith you show is inspiring.
