What a day as it has been 2 incredible years since this adventure officially began. The diagnosis and urgency began exactly two years ago. So much has happened and looking back for the good as I would never have known all of these insights without these struggles. The Lord is so faithful and His grace is truly sufficient for everything. He so often will bring so many special people into your life to prove His love and constant presence. The years have been tough but I've learned so much and learned to love the Lord and a greater hunger for His Word than ever before and pray that He will use me and I believe that is happening in a lot of ways. I'm a lot bolder and am ready to pray with someone at any time. I hope this time this attempt at this blog goes through as I've tried several time to put into some words the meaning of this day and the special people who have called, sent cards helped in so many ways and are praying for me and their fellowship. It is what has helped sustain me. I remember the mornings where I would hear the lawnmower outside and someone just came over and was dong what was needed without being asked. Rarely would we ask even though we needed to a lot. It must be this guy pride. I know I can do it. If I get a little down a pull out some of the cards people have sent and it reminds me of friends that care and encourage me.Or about that time the phone rings and its someone checking up on me as I was on their heart and mind.I can't thank everyone enough and please don't quit now as the battle is not over. Love Dr Jim
