Today has been a day to catch our breath.

While we’re ready for Jackson to be better and wish that they could be running tests this weekend, we’re also thankful that we have two days without all of that.  Life has been a whirlwind.  When you think about the fact that at noon on Wednesday the doctor said the word “cancer”, we packed up our lives, caught an international flight, and spent a day with doctors, we’re glad that we have today and tomorrow to get other stuff done.  We’ll have a chance to see some family, eat a Whataburger (I’ve had two dreams about Whataburger recently), and buy Jackson some summer clothes (since he mainly wears winter clothes in Bogota).  I got a haircut, Kristen and I went for a Sonic cherry limeade, we’ll have some Papa John’s pizza, and see more family.  (As you can see, part of our lives revolve around American food).

The craziness will start up again next week.  And who knows when it will end.  So, we’re thankful for how God has planned things, to rest in some “green pastures” in the midst of this unpeaceful Life.
