today some anna, katie, and i headed out to winchester to see our friend jill. on august 7th i got an e.mail, which, to be honest, i thought was about to share that she and chuck were expecting... unfortunately it was quite the opposite. jill shared that she had been diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, which is a form of breast cancer. we all know people who have or have had cancer. evan's dad is a cancer survivor!! but i haven't known anyone so young to get cancer. jill is recovering from a double mastectomy and will begin chemo in the next couple weeks. she has an amazing attitude.
you know those conversations you have that you never forget? i had one of those the first time i got to talk to jill after her diagnosis. i shared how blessed evan and i have been to see God's tangible faithfulness over and over again, but i admitted it was hard to see his faithfulness in this situation. without hesitation jill responded that she has seen God's faithfulness in so many ways.
i was immediately humbled and speechless.
she shared how she saw God's faithfulness in discovering the lump the day before a doctor's appt., how it was the first time she had ever done an exam, how the doctor's took care of it right away, and how early they had caught it...
my eyes were filled with tears as she shared her view of God's faithfulness.
jill's prognosis looks good, she has great support, and a great attitude! she provided a precious reminder that God is faithful no matter our circumstances. you can follow jill's blog at http://justsmallpotatoes.blogspot.com/
