Terrible and Beautiful

    

We spent an awesome Easter weekend in Denver. We did a Good Friday house concert for White Fields Community Church and spent the night with the Steer Family. As soon as we walked in the door, Lorri hugged me big and said that she had read that my mom had breast cancer, so did she and that she looked forward to connecting on that issue. Not one to mince words, I was delighted to hear that there wouldn't be much small talk during our stay with the Steer's. The concert was a sweet time of communion and remembering the body and blood of Christ. We felt connected to our audience already and the whole night was a delight. Over breakfast the next morning, we got to hear more of Lorri's story and we still feel humbled to have been around her. The truth that she is happy and hopeful convicted our hearts. We invite you to her blog at www.lorriscancerupdates.blogspot.com to read her story for yourself. Once again, the biggest perk of our job was the people we encountered and connected with. Lorri, thank you for opening your home to us and letting us witness the beauty in you. God is good.

I didn't think of it that way - "Hi, come on in, let's discuss your mother's boobs and mine!" :) Silly cancer, makes us all crazy you know? At least I gave you some food...

Seriously though...LOVED having you here, LOVED getting to know you, LOVED the worship and didn't realize it at the time, but that night was the first anniversary of me finishing treatment (chemo and radiation.) What an interesting "God-incidence." Or not. He is so Good, and smiling like in your song.
