Bugging God
Category: Life

Dan and I are about to drive to Stanford for an appointment to discuss his progress and what comes next. He's still calm and trusting. I'm still scared and nervous, but I'm starting to remember to be trusting, too.

In all honesty, I have no idea what to expect, what to hope for, what to prepare myself for. I know that God is in complete control of what is going on with the hoodlums lurking in Dan's body. At the same time, I'm scared.

Please pray for Dan, for me, for us.
Pray that the tumors have decreased in size and that the chemo has opened up options.
Pray that whatever treatment is prescribed allows Dan to continue on with school this semester and next, interterm and to go on to an internship this summer.
Pray that the news we hear tomorrow is encouraging and gives plenty of reason to be hopeful. Let the doctor be excited about Dan's recovery.
Pray that we can have the faith to step out into the Lord's arm when we need to.
Pray, still, for total and miraculous healing of the cancer. How awesome would it be for Dan to be a living testimony to God's power?

I know we've asked for prayers before, but I'm asking for more. Please please bug God with these requests. Pray to Him until He gets tired of all of us asking for Dan's remission. Eventually, God will want some peace and quiet and grant us our heart's desires. (Think the widow and the judge)

I'll write when we get back with news. With all hope and great expectancy, I will be writing to you news of great joy!
