Tell the world that...



I wish I knew how to completely put into words the emotions streaming through my family and I today! Lets just start off by saying, God is GOOD!
Here's the scoop, My grandma has been fighting lymphoma for a while now. This summer was a wreck for her. She was allergic to every type of kemo or meds the doctors would put her on.. every single day was a battle that she was getting fed up with. So, she and my papa prayed and prayed about it and decided to go ahead and stop the cancer treatment. It was the most heat breaking thing. It was terribly selfish, yet natural to but sad and upset... but once my family and i saw how content she was with this decision, she fully supported her and spent as much time with her and my papa as we possibly could.

My grandparents decided to pack their bags and one of those massive trailers meant for like, 12 people... And they decided to take a trip to Canada and a few places in the northern states to re-visit friends, family, and a bit of their childhood. During this trip, lets just say they didnt hold back. They saw sights, they ate food, tried new things, ate ice cream everyday, laughed, cried, and prayed. The spent a month on their vacation and having a great time!

They've been home for about a month now, and today, Grandma was scheduled to go get some blood work done. When the decision was made to quit the kemo because it was just creating bigger problems, the doctor sadly gave us a warning that we may not have our Grandma with us much longer.. he said a month.. MAX.

It is with great joy and with tears of thankfulness that i am able to tell you today that there is not once ounce of lymphoma in that womans body. Praise Him! The cancer is gone!! I still cant believe it when i say it! God healed her.. This was the hand of God healing and protecting her. Gosh, to see God's work first hand is... I feel honored that God would heal her. So many others haven't been healed from cancer.. a few of our other family members are in heaven with him. But i Gods got some more spreading of the joy for her to do. Annddd and my papa said this morning, "She has a lot more pie crusts to make and freeze before she goes!" Love him and the way he can make an entire room burst into laughter.

Our God is an AWESOME GOD!
AMEN!
