Although I don’t usually post blogs on weekends, hearing from Mary is always a blessing.
Yesterday she explained how she has felt feeble and weak at various times during the difficult 2 week process of pinpointing her cancer and determining how extensive it is. But she has marveled at the truth of God’s Word where he says when we’re at our weakest, he’s at his strongest.
Mary has experienced those fresh bursts of strength every day, exactly when she’s felt wobbly. Yesterday she read two encouraging Scriptures:
“Strengthen your feeble arms and knees.” (Hebrews 12:12)
“Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, ‘Be strong, do not fear; your God will come’.” (Isaiah 35:3-4)
God came today, strengthening her with 3 pieces of good news:
- All Mayo Clinic tests searching for cancer apart from in the pancreas came back “normal.”
- She and Bervin will be leaving Mayo Clinic to visit Luke’s family near Minneapolis tomorrow (2 grandchildren).
- By tomorrow night, Mary will be sleeping in her own bed, in Chicago, resting up for surgery in mid-March.
God knows exactly how to take feeble-and-weak and grow it into strong.
Mary’s prayer requests:
- Praise for normal EKG, colonoscopy, and blood work today.
- Pray for safe travels tomorrow covering many miles.
- Praise and gratitude for overwhelming love and prayer support from so many, which has “moved her to tears.”
