My Journey Toward A Trusting Heart

Encouragement

if you get time, please take a few moments to visit my friends' blog, www.adventureellis.blogspot.com

Jim and Pam Ellis are wonderful people who are going through a storm right now...Jim was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. He has under-gone surgery to remove a section of the colon; cancer was found in 2 of 9 lymphnodes...he will begin chemo in the next few days.

You will not find any whining in Jim and Pam's reports...quite the contrary. They are full of faith and praise to God for his CONTINUING goodness.

Last year, Pam was diagnosed with uterine cancer...she is cancer-free today! In one of Jim's emails back then, he pulled a line from "Narnia" that has really lodged in my heart...Lucy asks Mr. Beaver, about Aslan, "Is he safe?" Mr. Beaver replies, "Oh no he's not safe! But he IS good!"

Serving God certainly does not guarantee 'safety' from  trials and 'storms' -- but It certainly does guarantee that He will walk with us through all of it. "Sometimes he calms the storm, but sometimes he calms the child."

Right now, Jim and Pam are calm in the midst of this storm. They are an inspiration to everyone who knows them...and we are praying for complete recovery and total healing...but also for God's PEACE to reign in their hearts as they walk this uncertain pathway.

Read their blog....it'll encourage you in whatever you are facing today!

Love to all...K.
