Glorious Unfolding

Anthony here…

Steven Curtis Chapman has really been resonating with me lately. Songs like Glorious Unfolding, Dancing with Cinderella, and Warrior have truly moved me. This blog I will focus on the song Glorious Unfolding. Check these lyrics out:

Lay your head down tonight Take a rest from the fight Don’t try to figure it out Just listen to what I'm whispering to your heart ‘Cause I know this is not Anything like you thought The story of your life was gonna be And it feels like the end has started closing in on you But it’s just not true There’s so much of the story that’s still yet to unfold

And this is going to be a glorious unfolding Just you wait and see and you will be amazed You’ve just got to believe the story is so far from over So hold on to every promise god has made to us And watch this glorious unfolding

I chose this song’s lyrics because I kind of feel like this is what God’s trying to remind me of. I mean cancer, it’s such a scary word, and yet it’s such a common word in my family. I’m guessing it’s a “four letter” word for you too. I would bet you, or someone you love have battled cancer. In our family, it has impacted us deeply. Elisa just diagnosed with incurable cancer is a tough blow for me to handle. Yet Elisa is living the lyrics above. She knows the story continues despite it not looking like the way we thought life would go.

Elisa was also quick to point out that our family despite the recent bad news has already been beating the statistics of cancer. Our precious daughter “should” have cancer per the Fanconi Anemia BRCA-2 stats. Sure, she has a benign brain tumor, but it’s not cancer. I should remind myself of this blog when I hang my head down in pity, or sadness. I must remember miracles do happen.

Since this is the first blog, a bit of house keeping. These blogs will not be regular blogs. It will be when I can post something. I doubt Elisa will do much blogging, but who knows? Maybe she will. I will keep updates on this website, and on our donation site. Last but not least, please keep us in your prayers. It is the best and the first thing we desire from those following our journey. Any financial contributions will be deeply appreciated, and will be used to help our family.
