Today the kids and I participated in the Terry Fox Run at school today. Before the run we watched a short video to explain that Terry Fox at the age of 22 ran a marathon everyday for 143 days. He had cancer and had his leg amputated. He was raising money for cancer. Read more of his story http://www.terryfox.org/Foundation/The_Marathon_of_Hope.html
It is an unbelievable story.
But how Ironic is it that today is the day that my Grandpa is fighting cancer with chemo meds, is in the hospital today having his foot amputated. It was hard for me to not get teary eyed watching the video at school of Terry Fox and thinking about my Grandpa.
Then tonight I get an update from Mission of Tears and most of the news is not so positive: adoptions will cost more, referrals will take longer, fewer children are available, referrals may start again in late Novemeber. So I am feeling a little discouraged.
I must admit that tears have been shed tonight and I don't cry that often.
Then as I am writing this I read "Don't give up" on the Terry Fox site and on T.'s TV show I hear, "Never give up". So Grandpa, Auntie Lisa, Me and everyone else that needs to hear it never give up! I know God has a plan. He knows what he is doing even when it makes no sense to us.
Love and Prayers, Dilly

I would agree Dallas. God is bigger than any thing we are going thru. Keep trusting on Him. Be encouraged. Let not your heart be troubled. There are defintiely valleys in our lives but there are also times when we are on the top of the mountain with the most amazing view.
