Tonight, I sit here with tears running down my face, not understanding, but knowing that God is in total control. I ache for our dear friends, Curtis and Joanna. Joanna is the mother of 3 beautiful children. All under the age of 6. About a week ago she had surgery on a tumor located in her brain. They were not able to get it all due to the location of the tumor. They found out that it is cancer and is the worst possible kind. She'll be staring chemo and radiation soon. She's been given 1-2 years. I sit here wondering why her. But then I am reminded that God is in total control. And because of sin in this world, we have sickness and diseases. God is the GREAT Physician. He is more than able to heal her completely. That is my prayer. But know at the same time that it is all for his Glory. Please pray for them as they go though this time of taking in the info, talking to their kids, starting chemo, and adjusting to all that is going on in their lives. Please pray as well for the rest of their family. They have family in Indonesia, and Mozambique, as well as in the states. I can't imagine how hard it would be to be that far away.
Our prayers are with you Curtis, Joanna, Kanes, and the rest of the Jackson clan.
