Looking Back and Looking Forward

This time last year, the days were flying by, full of varsity baseball games, prom, big decisions and big plans for college and graduation. So these days feel a little strange. Like we’ve been stuck in some kind of alternate universe the last year full of hospital visits and chemo and hard days. But spring is coming and better than that Jesus is coming, and our hope continues to be in Him. Psalm 121:1-2 reminds us, “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”

We haven’t posted much lately because not a lot has been happening. The last three Tuesdays, Jack was scheduled to begin a new phase of his treatment. Each week though, his levels weren’t where they needed to be, so he hasn’t had any treatment now for a month. The good news is that, other than being stuck at home because of low immunity, he has felt relatively good. The bad news, of course, is that he needs to move forward with treatment.

So our prayer request for Tuesday is pretty straightforward: please pray that Jack’s levels would be high enough and that he would be able to start the next phase of his treatment this week. Thank you for your love, your support, and especially your prayers.
