Health Update

As many of you know, I got great news last week following the PET Scan. The scan showed that there is no cancer present. My Oncologist is suspending (obviously) the chemo treatment. I am continuing to receive treatment for the liver disease and will have more tests next week to see how I am doing in that area. That’s the latest facts about my health.

But life is more than facts. We are reminded again that our God reigns supreme over life, health and death. He has the final word on prognosis and treatment and result. He is gracious and wise and always working out His good pleasure and extending His fame through the small and the large. These things we know, there is a God who has manifested himself in human form (Jesus Christ) who is actively ruling over that which He has designed.

My doctors are in wonder that the treatment for the liver disease has had an impact on the tumors. There is a strong possibility that once I come off of the medicine that the tumors will return. We’ll see.

As for me, I am learning to rejoice and rest, believing that God is able to continually be active and present in my life. So today we rejoice and worship and dance and laugh and sing. Our God is the one who takes the very thing that I have wrestled against (the liver medication) and uses it for my healing. Those things that we just want to get behind us are the tools in His hand that make us alive. How wise is our God? Infinitely wise in all.

To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen. (Romans 16:27)
