Romans 15:5-6 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As I read this verse today, I am grateful. I feel as though all of the prayers offered up for my family, in light of our recent news with Mom's cancer spreading, have given us the spirit of unity as family. In talking with each other today, it was amazing to hear the same sentiments coming from each of us in regards to this new part of our journey. God has been so close, so faithful, and so present in all of this. We are blessed beyond measure to the fullness of all He has to offer. I thought my family was close prior to this journey, but God has drawn us even nearer together in Him through this trial. Now my prayer is that we may glorify Him with one heart and mouth, as the scripture says. What an incredible journey and what an incredible blessing, if you can actually say that pancreatic cancer is a blessing! How many times have we said that on this journey! It's crazy how your understanding of blessing changes and deepens in the midst of the storm. We are so blessed by the family and friends who support us in prayer and in service throughout this. Thank you to all of you. This is truly living in resurrection! Happy Easter!!
