I Corinthians 12:24-27

But God has put the body together.... that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

That miracle I have been praying for...

"Do not be afraid.  Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today......The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still."  Exodus 14:13-14

Remember that miracle that we have been praying for?  You know, the one where Amanda is healed and that the tumor is dead?  Today, God answered our prayers.  As of today, according to Dr. Harrod, there is "NO SIGN OF AN ACTIVE TUMOR!!!" 

Just let that set in for a minute.  I know that it is still soaking in for me.

Amanda will continue her chemotherapy treatment plan and she still has physical repercussions from the tumor that we will be dealing with for the unforeseen future, but by golly, we are beating this disease!  There are areas of her brain stem that were damaged by the tumor that the doctors will continuing to monitor, but even those areas are showing the improvement they want to see.  (That part is way beyond my ability to understand much less relay it here on the blog - so you will just have to take my word for it!)  "NO SIGN OF AN ACTIVE TUMOR!!!"

Living in the moment, there is nothing but pure joy and praise.  We are humbled to proclaim the victory and give all glory to our Lord and Savior.  I am standing in awe of His mercy and grace.

Amanda is walking proof that God hears us, He answers our prayers, and only He numbers our days. 

She is home, tucked in bed, worn out and a little groggy from the infusions this morning.  I am about to crawl in bed next to her to relax and cuddle.  This emotional roller coaster is exhausting.  So as we enter cycle number eight out of twelve, please pray that Amanda will have a smooth week of chemotherapy, both physically and emotionally.

We are so grateful for each one of you.  Thank you for your prayers, and please keep them coming. This journey is not over yet!

1 Chronicles 29:11
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.
