So....this is a strange thing to put up on here, partly because I'm having a hard time believing it...but my church really covets your prayers right now for our pastor and his wife. Over the weekend, she (Linda) was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor of the most aggressive kind of cancer. The biopsy was yesterday, and I believe that radiation treatment is to begin shortly. There isn't much more information at the moment.

Please pray for all the family that is at this moment gathered in Raleigh; for Brad as he copes with this heartbreaking news, that he would experience the resilience of heart that comes only from the Lord; for Linda, that she would experience the same, and that her body would respond positively to treatment; for all the medical staff engaged along every step of the process ahead; for our church, that we would know how to best support this couple we love so much...

I just thought of how it's strange not to want to pray "that God's will be done" for fear of what that might be, but still, to pour all of this entirely into his hands is surely the best thing anyone can do.
