Travel Day

Today was a travel day for me. I said goodbye to my parents this morning at the airport and I find myself thinking about them a lot. Coming home has made my Dad’s cancer kind of sink in. So many people have been through what we are going through…this is our first, so it is difficult for me to explain. My brother Buddy is heading out to be with my parents on Monday and then Michelle will likely take the kids out the next week and my sister Kristin is hoping to come home from East Asia in a couple of weeks. Monday morning Dad has a surgical procedure to do a biopsy on the two of the lymph nodes in his lung. We should know a lot more about the chemo/radiation/surgery strategy after that procedure. Thanks again for all your prayers.

God continues to challenge me personally about some things in my life. He is really kicking my butt! I had some good prayer time with Him today. I have spent much more time this week thinking about being a disciple than I have being a leader. I don’t really feel much like leading right now, but I like the idea of being a follower…a disciple. How twisted is that? Someday I’ll get this figured out. I was reading today how Jesus prayed for us before He went to be with the Father and it touched me…Jesus lifting me up…asking God to protect us from the evil one. How cool is that? I love Jesus. I want to love him more. I wish I loved him most…and so the journey continues.
