Day 119 - Some Good News

Earlier this week my father-un-law (no that is not a typo... I might explain later) was taken to the Emergency Room following a series of seizures.  They found a brain tumor.  My church family as well as friends across the country began praying that night. 

They went in to biopsy the tumor and were able to remove all of it.  The tumor was an aggressive fourth stage malignant tumor.  However, because they were able to remove all of it, he has a really great chance of survival. 

I know that his good prognosis is a result of prayer.  His brother died of the same type of tumor just a little more than 18 months ago.  I know God's hand is in this and I know that He is drawing this family closer to Him through this.  I am grateful that He loves us so much that He will redeem us and heal us of even the worst diagnosis.

I got to go out to dinner with some friends tonight.  Now normally I would be completely dreading those kind of social situations, because I am completely socially awkward! If I am talking about the Lord I can talk all night long, but just talking about everyday stuff, I am terrible at.  My friend Megan was there and she wasn't feeling good.  I got to pray for her and she felt better... and it broke the uncomfortableness for me!  I love how God works everything together for our good!
