I really have mixed emotions when I think back to a year ago. My first emotion is one of sadness and frustration for Carli, for time lost, for doubts, for pain, for scars, for questions, for fear of the unknown. I even grieve her hair loss, even though she looks adorable now.
Then my emotions turn to thankfulness and joy, that today she is whole and ready to take on the world. I should have written down every way that we have see God at work, and then I could battle the times when my initial emotions rule. As a friend put it, I am caught waiting for the "other shoe to drop". Even though I know that Jesus knows my heart and I can ask for my heart's desire, I know that His ways are not always mine. I continue to pray for wholeness for Carli-whole body, mind, and spirit. Please continue to pray with me.......
I feel that I can now help others who face cancer with friends and loved ones. I have had so many ask me what they can do for someone facing this horrible diagnosis, and I say a thankful prayer for each one of you who prayed, sent cards, cooked meals and visited Carli when I talk to them. Thanks for ministering to our family, and I hope that this will help us be Jesus here on Earth for others.
Our friends and family are amazing! Just had to say that once again....
