No Fear

Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off. - Proverbs 23:18

(A guest post my my beautiful wife, Jennifer.)

This is us...winning the Disney vegetable car race.  Well, OK, we didn't win the race but they gave us a medal for best team name..."Corn-fed." But these medals might as well have been Olympic gold because I like to think they were hard-fought and won.  This time last summer, fear came knocking at our door.  Actually, fear broke the door down and started hauling off our personal belongings. Things like our future, our joy, our life as we knew it.

But that was silly. 

Fear wasn't, and isn't, welcome.  So let me bear witness to what Cancer and fear cannot take...they can't take true friendship and the depth family will go to lift you up. They can't take the ability to respond to suffering and pain with dignity and courage. My heroic husband went through fire and was not burned. It was hell. That's all there was to it, but I stand firm in a faith that believes hell has been defeated.

So stick it, Cancer. Stick it fear.

Those pictured here are stronger, healthier, better people than we were a yer ago.  I am forever grateful for all of those who prayed us through the last year. Geoff is feeling great. Everyday he gets stronger...and funnier...and more himself. He's on no medication and has no pain.  For all the bad news on social media let us be bearers of some good news. Hope is stronger than fear and cancer doesn't get a voice.

Church stopping. Less doing. More being.
