"Life isn't about waiting on the storms to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain."
Some friends who had walked a path similar to ours shared this quote that served as an encouragement for their family. And it's proven to be a mantra at our house as well. Yes, we've had some tough days and there are still some questions that swirl in our minds, but we're learning to focus our attention on the blessings of life instead of on the hardships of this season. Some of Jesus' final words to us remind us that "in this life, you will have trouble. But take heart because I have overcome the world." So, with the help from some friends and the truth of Scripture, we're learning to dance in the rain. And we've had a really good week this week. Katie finished up 3 days of chemo with very minimal side effects. We enjoyed some good food provided by our church family. We had some great friends watch our kids on Saturday evening so that Sarah and I could go out on a date and do some Christmas shopping. Plus, the Mounties pulled out two big wins on Saturday, which always helps lighten the mood at the Cobb household! :) Some specific prayer requests:
Thanks for checking in on us! -Chad
