Today was a big day that we anticipated for weeks if not months, knowing that the PET test results from last Monday’s test and the time with our medical team would have notable impact on our coming weeks, months, and years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Sunday night we were so relieved to finally get the report. It felt like we were reading the mid-point PET scan report, they mirrored each other so closely. Our nurse practitioner was thrilled that both his bloodwork and the scan had perfect results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the beginning of Chris’s cancer journey was eventful, stressful, painful, and debilitating, the last several months Chris’s journey has been “boring”, meaning the opposite of eventful and challenging. Boring is good according to our medical team; a little humor can go a long way in the cancer wing of a medical facility. Boring means the treatment has been going well, as hoped for, predictable even for their medical expertise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While boring is good in this current reality of our life, we know that God is anything but boring. His plans and his purposes are often the opposite of boring, and this too is good, even very good. Even more so, God’s plans are good even if the results today were not boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We praise God for a boring medical report, but even more so we thank God for being who He is: alive, active, working in and through all of us to bring forth his Kingdom, for his Kingdom and His power is anything but boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
