No Further

Today has been a good day.

But, so was April 6 of 2015. It was good because Jesus is good. It was good because He was adjusting my hearing so I could better hear His Voice. 

One year ago I had no idea. I didn't know the extent of cancer, of surgery, of chemo, of loss. I didn't know the extent of doubt, of fear, of shame, of agony.

Nor did I know the extent of HIM.

I knew Him as my Savior and Friend. I knew Him as my gracious and sovereign Father. I knew He died for me, and rose again.
What I have seen, heard, felt, and experienced this past year is the greatest gift outside of salvation that I have ever received. 

To know the extent of Jesus.

To know His enduring faithful love, His kindness and compassion. To know His strength and truth. What the Enemy intended for harm, my Jesus intended for good.

I can't begin to know the extent of Jesus. But what I have seen and know in my heart has overwhelmed me with assurance.

He is who He says He is.

On this day one year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. If I could shout out every name of every person that battled in prayer with us, I would. If I could list all the gifts, sacrifices, hours of time, rides, meals, notes, I would. However I simply cannot begin to count them all, it's been more than we ever deserved. Jesus knows, and I am asking Him today to bless those who graciously upheld us. We are forever grateful. Many people represented Jesus to us, but today I am especially grateful for my family, and their relentless commitment to upholding us with their sacrificial love. And Jason Currie...there are no words. When I see you I see the face of the Shepherd. Thank you for leading me through this. 

And finally, on this day one year ago, our good Father set the boundaries of the cancer, as He did the boundary of the sea. 

No further.

Proverbs 8:29
"When He set for the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth."
