My Dad...

My Dad's cancer is back in his other lung. We found out a week and a half ago. Life has been hard since then. One day at a time is all we can do. We will know more when he goes to see an oncologist here in Calgary. No more flying to Toronto. He will do all his appointments and such from here. The truth is that they won't be able to do much. Just take away the pain when it comes. So, we have been praying (God still works miracles), and just reflecting on life and what we want to do with Dad this coming year (Hopefully a year).

Anyway, it is hard, but we are getting through it. The prayers have been great. I can feel God with me since we found out. Prayer is amazing. Also, God has been speaking to me through worship, the service last night, my Bible study on Mondays...He's just been there, which is AWESOME!! God is so good. I will trust in Him through this time. It's all I can do!!

Here's the song that I have been listening to this morning. Jonathan is on worship team this weekend and they are doing this song. I LOVE the words. So timely!!

I hope that you are all having a good weekend. I will give you updates on the Dad when I have them. Thanks for all you support and prayers. I know they will be awesome!!

Christ is Risen Indeed!!

 After the Sabbath, as the first light of the new week dawned, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to keep vigil at the tomb. Suddenly the earth reeled and rocked under their feet as God's angel came down from heaven, came right up to where they were standing. He rolled back the stone and then sat on it. Shafts of lightning blazed from him. His garments shimmered snow-white. The guards at the tomb were scared to death. They were so frightened, they couldn't move.

The angel spoke to the women: "There is nothing to fear here. I know you're looking for Jesus, the One they nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said. Come and look at the place where he was placed.

Now, get on your way quickly and tell his disciples, 'He is risen from the dead. He is going on ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there.' That's the message."

The women, deep in wonder and full of joy, lost no time in leaving the tomb. They ran to tell the disciples. Then Jesus met them, stopping them in their tracks. "Good morning!" he said. They fell to their knees, embraced his feet, and worshiped him. Jesus said, "You're holding on to me for dear life! Don't be frightened like that. Go tell my brothers that they are to go to Galilee, andthat I'll meet them there."
