If the Devil Doesn't like it...

This week leading up to a week that will forever change Aj's family...including Bobby's family and our family the old devil is sure at work. He is so mad by all the praying, all the encouraging all the love, all the peace. And boy is he at work in Aj's life and in the lives of our family. But, today as I was driving to Plainview God reminded me of something he taught me along time ago. When we feel weak, when we are unsure...all we have to do is call on HIS name and he will be there...and so I did just that. I was in the car alone for the 20 min drive there and the 20 min. drive home and I just sang...I sang every song that came to mind about what God can do, what God will do and we are just going to hold on to the verses within His word and to the songs he lays on our hearts. I can only speak for myself but there are times I just want to throw up thinking about all of this...More than anything I do not want Aj to have to go through this...I want to wake up and find out this is just a bad dream and it isn't really what is happening...But, I also know that God has a plan and a purpose for all things and we are going to trust him even when we don't see the whole plan...I am going to trust him even when I look at my to-do list and don't find listed -- Cheer AJ on to kick cancer and the devils butt! We will move forward...more than anything to show others what God is all about. Healing! Here are a few things that have been laid on my heart today... When I am weak, unable to speak, still I will call You by name. “Oh Shepherd, Savior, Pasture-maker, hold on to my hand,” and You say “I am.” ---I Am by Nicole Nordeman Even when the sky is falling down and the waves are crashing all around you're the only hope that I am found, When everything is changing you are unshaken. -- Unshaken By Attaboy Anyone can feel the ache you think it's more than you can take, but you're stronger, stronger than you know. Don't you give up now the sun will soon be shining you gotta face the clouds to find the silver lining. I've seen dreams that move the mountains, hope that doesn't ever end. Even when the sky is falling, I've seen miracles just happen, Silent prayers get answered. Broken hearts become brand new. That's what faith can do. -- What Faith Can Do By Kutless ---PRAYERS That God will continue to remind Aj that he is in control. He has her best interest in mind and we believe he has this covered. The Doctors. Aj's strength. Pray for the people that will be assisting her during chemo that they will be just who was meant to care for and love her during this time. Bobby and Bailey as they adjust during this time. Joe and Sharon (aka Mom and Dad) -- No parent wants to watch their own children have to go down this road and we all know without a doubt they would walk it for her if they could. God we love you, we don't love this situation BUT WE LOVE YOU. Therefore we have everything we need to keep putting one foot in front of the other and walk through until we get to the other side of this.
