"God isn’t only passively with us in our suffering; God is proactively with us in our suffering, redeeming the weight of the suffering — into the weight of glory." - Ann Voskamp
Tonight is the end of an era - an era of suffering. The hardest part of our cancer journey, the thing I feared most and asked to be spared from - chemo and the two weeks after each treatment - is over. God didn't choose to remove that part of the journey, but He has been proactively with me, redeeming the weight of suffering into the weight of glory.
Tomorrow is an exciting day - I am going back to work! Going back until April 20, when I take two more weeks off for surgery. Surgery will be fine - I can do this. And in the meantime, I get to be a part of such an exciting time as we prepare for Easter. God has perfect timing, even if I may not understand at the time.
Thank you for your prayers for us. They have made a huge difference.
"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:17-18 NIV)
