The last week has been hectic, to say the least. Caelan is doing really well with his chemotherapy after the first week, which is a major praise. Thank you all for praying - God is anwering! It is amazing that just one week ago, we were in the hospital with his port surgery. So much has happened since then.

Over this past week, we have really seen God guide us, take care of our son, keep his nausea at bay, work out major scheduling problems, speak to me dramatically as He has led our church, call me away to spend time with Him, and reveal Himself in amazing ways.  We've also been exhausted, confused, and overwhelmed at times. 

Through it all, God has shown us that He is taking us where he wants us to be.  The picture above illustrates that.  It was taken by me during a time of prayer this weekend.  If you throw a stick into the raging water it might get tossed all around and turned upside down.  But, still, the river will take the stick where it is going.  That is how it is with God.  In our lives, the raging current of God's providence and will turns us upside down and tosses us all around - or so it seems.  In reality, He is working and moving to take us where He wants us to be.  Our part is to trust Him and get in His flow, let Him lead, and believe that He is working in our lives.  Things might not be easy in the moment, but we serve a God that can be trusted.

Well, that is what He has taught me this week through experiences, trials, and victories that seem too many to name.  The week seemed like a month, but in that time I saw the Lord at work.  He is good! His love endures forever!
