Today marks the one year anniversary of my bone marrow transplant. At the time, my medical team described the treatment as “rigorous”; which I later found to be an understatement! The after-effects proved overwhelming physically, emotionally and spiritually, and I was insufficient to meet the challenge.

Yet our God, Who promised Isaac “I will be with you”, was also with me. Each moment was full with assurance of His presence. And He proved sufficient for the challenge He had given. Now at a year-spaced retrospect, I would say He proved abundant. While bringing remission of cancer He increased joy in Him.

Please join John and me in praising God for His answer to our prayers, His answer to your prayers. We thank the Lord for your part in His abundant provision as you cared for us. Romans 15:5-6 says “May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Church, He is always worthy of our praise.
