Update from the U of Chicago

After a very helpful visit today that gave us more information except we don’t know what treatment route we will go with yet because the physicians are certain what remains. Is it inflammation or still lymphoma – if so what kind.
So the next step is a biopsy. Conveniently I still have small scars from the first so they can just cut on the dotted line 🙂
That should happen soon and then we anticipate another visit to U of C a couple of weeks after the biopsy.
It was disappointing for both of us to hear the news it still remains – but thankfully much smaller. As I reflect on Mark 4, I will be speaking on our experience hopefully soon in church about our storm. One lesson I learn from the passage of Jesus calming the storm is that these experienced fishermen were terrified of being swamped as wave after wave surged over the boat. Over the last 3 years we have been in our own storm as waves continue.
Our great hope is that Jesus is in our boat and is in charge of all as he says “Quiet, Be still” to all the waves threatening these disciples. God is in control and the sooner we ask him to take over the better.
Read the account with the response of the disciples. When they called on Jesus, what did they want him to do? Bail, row? He did a miracle that none of them even could conceive. We know our God can do the same. It is up to us to trust that he knows the best answer for our storm.

God is good, all the time
