I was sitting in my house this morning getting ready to head to the hospital, and I noticed nature’s orchestra resounding out the windows of my house. I live near the river, and my house backs up to a large canopy of trees, so the various types of birds sounding off their greatest tune, would make any one with the ears to listen, smile, and somehow remind and awaken you to something deeper. It brings a certain type of peace that is priceless. I have a lot to learn from the birds in the air.

It has been almost two weeks since I last wrote in this blog. It has been a crazy couple of weeks and a lot has changed in a short amount of time. I am now officially the luckiest man ever. Heather and I have just lived out our first full week of being married, and it has been a wild experience. I am sure it always takes some adjusting, but for us, it has been a whirlwind.

We were married on Friday the 29th, and spent a couple of days up in Mt Shasta. Although it was too short, and not the Jamaica trip we were planning for, we enjoyed it immensely We came home and moved some of her stuff into my place and tried to get prepared for the 12 weeks of Chemo that starts today. My… I mean “Our” house, kind of resembles the aftermath of a tornado. At least it feels that way to me. We have gifts all over the place, dying flowers, pictures, cloths scattered all around, and it finally is starting to feel like a home:-)

I have been humbled by all of the support, and love from my friends and family, but most of all the prayers. Although the supernatural healing that we were all contending for is not what has happened yet, I have had no fear. I have been joyful and peaceful for the most part. I believe that this is a direct result to prayer. Whether you believe in the adversary of our souls or not, I do. It has been at times such as these that he has tried to steal and destroy the plans and purposes of something greater to come. Fear is his main tool for getting us there, and I have been able to work through the temptation to of falling into fear and/or being ungrateful through this season. This is a result of the many prayers and is also what I would request you to continue to pray for. My greatest fear is not that I would die, or get sick, etc., but that my eyes and ears would be closed to the voice of God in this.
