March 23 - This past week, North Georgia was on their spring break and I had every intention of spending the week with my family in Virginia to enjoy some much needed rest. Instead, I ended up spending the week in and out of doctor's offices. In the process they have found an 11cm mass in my abdomen that is "highly suspicious of malignancy" (according to their words). I'm going to the doctor again on Wednesday and should find out more then.
As you can imagine (and may have even experienced this yourself) this is dominating my life, my thoughts, and my ministry right now. At first I struggled with what to do during all this waiting. But then I realized I should do the same things I always do, seeking to make Christ known... to college students, to my family, to my staff team, to you. The Lord has entrusted suffering to me and I want to steward it in a way that makes His name great.
"Yes and I will rejoice, for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death." - Philippians 1: 19-20
