Matt's Pathology results revealed

Today the pathology report was provided for our church family. Our very loved pastor, Matt Chandler, has a malignancy. The entire update is available at the link below, but in short, he will see a Neuro-oncologist this week to discuss further treatment. The nature of the tumor hindered the removal of it all and several treatment options will be considered.

-In the meantime, we will pray for the following:

-Wisdom for all the coming decisions

-Strength and peace to endure

-The kids’ (Audrey, Reid and Norah) hearts; pray the Lord is merciful as they process and that their little hearts do not grow embittered

-The Chandlers and The Village would suffer well because of the gospel and for the sake of Christ’s name.

The gospel is our hope and the Lord is our strength.

The entire update as released by the staff at The Village Church can be viewed by clicking the link below.

Thankful that He promises to use ALL things for good for those who love Him....He is the same faithful God He was before the seizure, during surgery and after the diagnosis.

Oh wow. Boy does it ever stretch our faith to hear less-than-desire reports. I will go directly there to read. I know Matt will be a faithful servant no matter what.
Sweet blessing, Liz.
Love,

I Got A Feeling....

that this is gonna be a good, good year!!!!!! I have great expectations! And I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goals. And prayers. I know God will answer prayers, and there are a few that I look forward to seeing the answer to, hopefully in 2010. It would be great if love and peace and forgiveness would win out in a few broken relationships. I am still praying. And I am look forward to how my marriage will become more wonderful, as it does every year! My health should improve since I am training for a triathlon. I lost 23 pounds in 2009. I look forward to losing about 15 to 20 more. Completing the Caveman triathlon with a couple of my very good friends is a goal that I am excited to achieve! It is going to be fun to see what God is going to do because I said "yes" to Him and stepped up into Home Group leadership with my church. And my church.... I have to say I am amazed and thrilled to love my church! What a blessing after so many years of being a s...

Behind Those Eyes - Chapter 8

We are completely loved and accepted completely. That is the chapter title this week and it is such good news! It is news that I have heard before, but news that I was glad to hear again. Lisa's story at the end of the chapter touched my heart...you know, the one where she woke up the morning after her prayer asking God to let her know that they were okay. The song in her head, that really was in her heart is awesome. I have had those times. Recently, I have had quite a few. The last few months (years maybe?) have been a little difficult. Some days I have wondered, "Does He REALLY love me?" And then some sort of confirmation will come along, He will let me know that we are okay and my heart sings. His love is gentle. His love is perfect. His love is comforting. And his love is absolutely unconditional. My blog time is shortened this week due the death in my family. My post is short, but honest and heartfelt. This week, I had a couple of conversations with a good...

Gone

A fire burns behind me I run to keep ahead Those who I once cared for becoming cold and dead Red and black the flames grow high Smoke rises in the air The pain of my unworthiness Seems more than I can bear In front of me I see the sun I long to feel it's heat The iciness inside my heart has paralyzed my feet I see the moon, I see the stars They swirl and dance for me I see the hole, the big dark hole Where one star used to be
