Continuing To Improve

Leslie continues to improve since her last chemo treatment. She was up much of last night but did go into work for a few hours today. Her throat is soar this evening so we are praying that she is not coming down with anything. Cindy came over again this evening to help until I got home from work. She relieved Leslie's mom who is still fighting a sinus infection. Cindy seems to like our kids and they really love her. We're so thankful for her ministry to us during this time.

We continue to have so many things to be thankful for in our lives. It's strange to even say that in a time like this, but God is certainly sustaining us. I wish I could say that my satisfaction is in Christ, solely. But I struggle to keep my heart there. I was encouraged today by a video clip my brother-in-law sent me from John Piper. In it, Piper confronts what is known as the prosperity gospel. It is anything but the Gospel of Christ. It's a shame that so many are being led astray by this heresy. Even in my own heart I struggle believing that God is working for our good in the midst of Leslie's cancer. But I know that He is. And I can say that this trial has certainly pointed us to the fact that He cares for us. Nothing can separate us from His love. Not even cancer. Watch this clip and be encouraged.
