Our God is Greater

Another week of radiation complete, followed by a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of our Savior.  The Christmas Eve Open House was wonderful.  Jeremy and I loved having our family and so many friends stop by on Christmas Eve.  It was cold outside, but our house was filled with the warmth of love, laughter and hot cocoa.   It was a wonderful night.  Jeremy napped a little in the afternoon and was able to stay wide awake for our entire evening, including a beautiful candle light service at our church with my parents.
Christmas morning and the following days, were filled with countless additional blessings with my and Jeremy's family.  I stated in the last post that this wasn't the Christmas Jeremy and I had dreamed of, and that's true.  But I know, that had we not come to know God the way we do now through this trial, we wouldn't be so aware of how Great our God really is!  Each visit to the doctor, God shows us how great he is.  Greater than we know, greater than the doctors know, and far greater than this cancer.
Monday afternoon, we went to our weekly appointment with the Oncologist after Jeremy's treatment.  The doctor glanced through the file, looked up at us - delighted, and said, "This tumor is melting."  We are half-way through radiation treatment and the tumor is 50% the size it started out at.  He told us not to expect it to continue shrinking.  That this may be as small as it gets.  My heart smiled knowingly at that statement.  Our God is Greater.
So, as far as the treatment plan assigned to Jeremy's case, "this is an excellent delivery and we are very pleased with the results so far."  Jeremy and I remain in awe of God's power, love and presence in our lives.  We're so thankful for the transformation God is making in us, that we are sincerely taking joy in this trial.
