The Struggle Has Ended

Surgery Has Ended
Christine just called to report that Greg's surgery ended a short time ago. The surgeon was able to remove all the cancer that could be seen! This is a tremendous result and exactly what everyone has been praying for.
This procedure is very difficult and lengthy, and Christine noted that the surgeon looked exhausted as he reported the results. Given the location of the tumor and the closeness of various parts in that region, removing it had some side effects, which will need to be managed. However, at this point our overwhelming response is one of thankfulness and praise to God for granting the doctors success in removing Greg's tumor.
Greg will spend the night in recovery where he will get excellent care, and begin the process of healing.

We are thanking God for this man and Christine. What a testimony to God's goodness. We will never understand this side of heaven why the good Lord puts us through these trials, except that we can say "Glory to God" when we see the faith of Greg and Christine.
Praise JEsus! Rest in His great mercy now, brother. Just think... His glory shines forth, even from your innards! :)
