Update on Diagnosis

Stephanie here...

We realized we had not updated you on what we learned about a specific diagnosis of Poppy's cancer. We finally received a diagnosis last Wednesday. It took 4 weeks to identify the type of cancer he has because it is so rare and no one knew what it was at first glance.

It is called Leiomyosarcoma. Here is a link if you would like to read more about it. http://www.lmsdr.org/whatis_leiomyosarcoma.php

We know that doctors do not get to determine our reality. We live by the spirit. I have seen such beauty and fruit pour forth from Pop's life this past month. God is about redemption, restoration and kindness. He does NOT cause horrible things to happen but He is right their to catch our hearts and to breathe His beauty into all things. He works within us and around us to bring blessing. This has been the case in watching Poppy these past few weeks pour out blessing and receive blessing as well.

Diagnosis has no power...
