Home again, home again, jiggity jig
At 10:20am today, Amy left the hospital. She had a great night of sleep and she was biting at the bit to leave when I arrived. On my way down, I had called to let her know that I was on my way and her surgeon walked in. I asked to her to ask him how much of the tumor was dead tissue and if they remembered to biopsy the spot on her liver that started this whole journey to begin with. She called me back after a few minutes and Dr. Mahvi had this to say: The tumor had actually shrunk a bit during that last week before Amy surgery and where a good deal of it was dead tissue, that doesn’t really matter because the tissue margins and lymph nodes came back negative. And concerning the spot on her liver…it’s gone! Not shrunk, not moved…GONE!
I am absolutely convinced that the collective prayers of literally 100’s if not 1000’s of God’s children the world over, being offered in Amy’s need and having been aligned with God’s perfect and gracious will, have been answered by God’s miraculous plan. Amy stands as evidence of God’s mercy…of God’s grace and miraculous power and all of US stand as witnesses, having seen with our eyes and heard with our ears the ‘momentary troubles’ Amy endured.
Psalm 7:17 - I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
Psalm 9:1-2 - I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Psalm 150:2 - Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Psalm 106:1 - Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
James 1:17 - Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
God has and will continue to use Amy’s journey to draw people closer to Him and to glorify Himself. I have heard from many how their faith has been strengthened and from others that they have been drawn back to church because of what they have witnessed, this is all for the glory of God and I praise His holy name!

Vince and Amy,
I've learned today of your difficult journey through these trying fires.
God is truly great, and his plans for us are everywhere.
We have been through a similar journey ourselves, and you are in our prayers daily.
Amy, when I was going through six months of chemo, I got into the habit of carrying two Bibles in my purse. One was installed on my palm, and the other was a very small study Bible.
The other thing that was most helpful was something I learned from a wonderful man. He would hand out 3 x 5 cards to friends and church members, and ask them to fill out both sides. On one side, they wrote out their favorite Bible verse, and a bit about how it had changed their life to take that verse into their hearts. On the other, they wrote a prayer request, so that he could spend his time praying for others.
Mike and I always have blank 3 x 5 cards with us, now. You are in our prayers.
