Oh my

After all the fighting to hear from God, to get labs done, to get my dad placed to....

Jim's fever is back. 100.1. More than likely, the cancer is growing fast again. And so very fastly, the pain is accompanying it.

Jim and I have sung this song for a year now, and we continue to do so. I share it with you.

I was sure by now, God,
that You would have reached down and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain, "I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
and takes away.

Chorus:

And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side

and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
my strength is almost gone
how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain "I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
and takes away

Chorus

I lift my eyes onto the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth I lift my eyes onto the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Beautiful, beautiful song. Quite a tear jerker. I sure hope he just has a bug. I'm crying with you, praying for you. I love you both.
Love,
Judi

No, it's not a bug. The pain is back, too. Coming on strong. Thanks, Judi.
