My song
I want you all to read the words to "Praise you in this Storm", by Casting Crowns. I even have Ray singing it all the way to Ann Arbor.
I was sure by now/ That you would have reached down/
and wiped our tears away/ Stepped in and saved the day/
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining
And as the tunder rolls/ I bearly hear you whisper through
the rain/ "I'm with you"/ And as you mercy falls/ I raise
my hands and praise the God who gives /
and takes away/
I'll praise You in this storm/ And I will lift my hands/
For you are who You are/ No matter where I am /
Every tear I've cried/ You hold in your hand/
You never left my side/ And though my heart
is torn / I will praise You in this storm
I remember when / I stumbled in the wind/
You heard my cry/ You raised me up again/
My strength is almost gone/ How I can I carry on/
If I can't find you
I lift my eyes unto the hills/ Where does my help
come from?/ My help from from the Lord/
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

Hey Lis,
I just received the best letter in the mail from you! It is what I needed to confirm that you were okay with me being with you at such an overbearing time. For me, as you know, to get through stress and rough times I have to be a little silly/goofy at times or I go for a walk. Just to see someone smile and know that it might be because I did a crazy thing is more of a blessing to me.
Wow, you have been married for seven years, that is so awesome!!!
There is that # 7 again.....seven weeks of radiation and chemo, remember you were in room # 7 when you had chemo for the first time. There is something about that number! I told you I always liked it. In Genesis 21:28 Abraham gave seven ewe lambs to Abimelech....and in Psalms 119:164 says seven times a day I praise Thee......and in Daniel 9:25 it says this " So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again.." There is something about the number seven!!! I don't understand all of this from the Bible but I know that the number is special. So these are the seven weeks to rebuild and restore your body and then many more weeks for healing.
I was at Russ' for breakfast on Sat. and brought that book from U of M with the poems and stuff in it. I had a couple sitting next to me and I really tried to mind my own business but she started talking about her tumor and the options the doctors were giving her. She was given many outcomes from being paralzed from surgery and having a 50/50 chance with chemo. She would have some sort of radiation but it seemed very sad as she and her husband "to be" were going over the options.....well you know me and I started to talk to them! I told her to get a 2nd opinion like you did at U of M and now I am praying for her. Her tumor was in her back near the spinal column....tricky spot!
Thanks for being an inspiration to all and always my friend.
