Day Five of Round Two

Prayer Date
This morning when Billy rolled over and said "Good Morning," he also said, "I want us to go on a prayer date this morning." I, in turn, said, "Okay, where do you want to go on this date?" He said , "I want to get dressed, go get some coffee, and go outside to the courtyard." I cannot tell you how happy I was to hear him say he felt well enough to get dressed, let alone go outside! We showered, got dressed, got our Starbuck's and headed to the courtyard (IV pole in tow). It was his first breath of fresh air since Monday morning and the best hour since we've been here. There is just something special about talking with God while in the middle of His creation with no roof separating you from the heavens. It was hard to tear ourselves away from our bench and go back inside. Had it not been for Billy's bladder calling, we would have stayed all morning! Thank you all once again for praying us through this week!

I love this post! It's something right out of a movie or good book! But it's your real life! Isn't it amazing that I would equate your husbands battle with cancer to something out of a good book? The love you have for him and the Lord is so obvious and refreshing! May this trial continue to draw you closer to Billy as you both draw closer to the Lord! God bless you!
