Well, the last few days have not been easy. I'm sure you aren't surprised.
Yesterday was one of the most difficult days that I have had to endure. We got up at 6am and weren't done with the hospital until 10pm. We had one meal the entire day and if you know me at all, or anyone in my family, that is not a positive thing!
I remained really patient, but I really struggled with the hectic schedule. We met with a dozen people yesterday, commanding us to do things. My mom is sickly, so I can't believe she had such a demanding day, but I am sure they do that on purpose here, because most people come from out of town.
I don't have any news, regarding my mom's condition. We just know a few things and the urgency of her health. I feel confident that MD Anderson wants to do their absolute best to help her. Their technology and specialists are beyond talented. I wonder how human beings can be as intelligent as these people!
On the downside, I really struggled yesterday with seeing thousands of cancer patients. You would not believe some of the things I had to see! Man, I would love it if none of us ever entered the doors of a cancer center again. It literally feels like everyone has cancer. It's unreal.
I saw so many deformities. I don't think words can describe how scary a place like this is. It feels like you are in a movie, almost like I Am Legend, except that people are dying instead of turning into monsters.
I just pray that my mom, my family, and friends can go through this with almost a sense of safety from all the darkness. I get asked so many questions about God and why he allows this. Here's what I know to be true: God would only allow this to save even more lives. He has a kingdom and he wants us to be a part of it. Do not forget that God is good, and we may not have answers to certain questions, but his promises remain. He is the reason that I am here.
Much Love.

amen sister. Your words reminded me so much of Genesis 50:20, one of my favorite verses to cling to during tough times like these:
"You intended it to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives"
wow. you hit the nail on the head. May He be glorified in this!
