Being diagnosed with Cancer has been one of the greatest and most humbling experiences of my life. God has shown me through this trial that I must rely on Him for every need in this life. This is increadibly hard for me to understand in a society without needs. However, being hit with a disease that I have no control over in any way has reminded me that I in fact have no control over any aspect of my life. My God is sovereign, which means that he is in control of every aspect of life. Nothing happens apart from the perfect will of my righteouss, powerful, loving master. Because of His abounding grace and love for me, I know anew that He will never leave me nor forsake me, and that I am to give Him every aspect of my life; time, money, energy, love. To God be the glory.                                                There is no question that my wife and I have been challenged beyond belief through this trial. There really is no easy way to try and prepare for chemotherapy three days after having a baby, but somehow we got through. Being a parent is so different than I ever thought that it was going to be and not being able to do all that I had wanted to do to help Melinda in Hunter's first three months of life was and has been difficult beyond explanation. Melinda has been amazing through this whole trial, but really has had to focus so much on Hunter that she could not be there for me as much as she wanted either. I think she said it best, "Hunter needed my full attention, and I wanted to give Jordan my full attention. I had to go with the need." This trial has changed both of us in a major way. It has challenged our marriage, challenged our patience, challenged our trust in the Lord, challenged our faith, pretty much every aspect of our lives. To be real with you would be to say that it has been hell. But, we can honestly say that God is good and we are trying to learn from this trial. Lets pray we actually learn the lessons that God is trying to teach us. Getting help in the financial side of this trial would be a huge burden lifted off of our shoulders. We thank you in advance for even the thought.
