Several months ago N and I joined a small group bible study at our church. It's made up of 6 couples, including us. We're all about the same age and so are our kids. It's the highlight of our week, not only for N and me, but also Zoe. She knows Sundays are the day she gets to play with her friends not once, but twice because of small group.
Neither N nor I have ever been part of a group like this. To say this group is a blessing would be an understatement. We feel incredibly fortunate to count each of these people as our friends, prayer warriors and accountability partners. In just a few months they've managed to work their way into our hearts in a very tangible way.
One of the couples in our group is going through something that, as a parent, I cannot comprehend. Their 4 year-old daughter, Sara, was just diagnosed with cancer. The good news is the doctors are confident that it's treatable and they can get rid of it.
This family is a family who lives by faith. They have been an example to both N and me. If you feel so led, would you pray for this family. We know that the Great Physician will be guiding this process every step of the way. We know His plan is perfect. As a parent you don't want to see your child go through this, even though He knows how it feels to see your child go through difficulty.
Just makes me want to squeeze our girls a little closer and a whole lot more tighter.
Even when they do squeal, "mommy you're squishing me."
