4 Years

4 years ago, my Dad finished up his last cancer treatment.  Every year, at this time since then, he has to go into the Cancer Center, and have a bunch of tests done, and be checked to see if it has come back.  Then he has to wait a full week, before he sees the doctor and finds out his results. 

Needless to say, there is a whole lot of praying that has been happening in our house this month leading up to his appointments. 

Prayers for health, healing, and a strong body.  Prayers that everything will be ok, but mostly prayers to understand God's will, help us accept it, and for peace.

Thankfully, things were looking good.  And in one more year, we will breathe a little easier, the 5 year mark is something special. 

There is an added strength we get from such obviously answered prayers for healing and health.  Moments like this bolster my faith, and help me get through the times where it is a bit weaker.
