Catching Up - Change of Purpose

Tim and I finally decided that blogging would be the best way to journal this journey and share information. Rather than write a long boring post, I’m going to start where we are today and over the next few posts, I’ll include some background information that got us to this point.

On Monday of this week (9/25), Tim was diagnosed with stage 4 rectal cancer.  He is being treated at MD Anderson. Luckily we are currently only having to drive to The Woodlands rather than down to the med center.  He received a port this morning and will start a three chemo drug regimen tomorrow. He will receive two drugs in clinic and finish a third on Saturday and Sunday at home. 

Many people have expressed their desire to help and I am working to get that coordinated - more to come on that.  At this time we covet your prayers for complete healing.  Only He knows the number of our days, but we are know in faith that He is with us and are clinging to this verse -

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:2
