First Anniversary Edition of the Blog

Our first posting on this site was one year ago today. We were scared, tentative, unsure what was to follow. The ride we took for the next nine months was full of twists and turns, sadness disappointments, and finally separation.

Still, I found myself thinking last week that God has been faithful. He somehow carried us through a very difficult chapter. I have retraced that steadfast love as I have written the last two days. He is good, but re-entering the story is very draining to say the least.

The year ahead seems unclear and lonely. My preliminary medical reports came back uncertain again tonight. I see the specialist Friday. Right now, I am afraid, and I don't like the prospect of ending the year with a health issue unresolved.

Tonight I can only ask HIM to remain faithful as the next year's journey begins.

Hi Dan. Just wanted you to know I've been praying for good news yesterday as you met with the specialist. Certainly it would be so wonderful for you to go into the already difficult new year without any medical worries and the added stress of dealing with all that. I hope the news was good and that your mind is relieved and will check your blog later for an update. Either way with the news, you and your family have been and continue to be in my daily prayers during this bittersweet holiday time. With love - Cindy Nore
