Humbled...

I am truly humbled by reading this blog.

I encourage anyone who reads my blog to check this one out. To have such faith is amazing. When I look at all Darell and I have been through, yes it’s a lot but this story just reminds me of so much hope.

Those that don’t know us might wonder what I mean by going thru so much. Here is the summary.

A year after we married my father died unexpectedly.
Major infertility issues.
Our loss of twins early in our first pregnancy after fertility treatments.
Overcoming our pregnancy loss and undergoing IVF with our first attempt not working.
The joy of our second pregnancy.
The birth of our 30 week preemie David. The time spent while he was growing and getting ready to come home.
Darell’s health decline after David came home. That was a tough year.
Finding out Darell has a brain tumor and treating his body to heal.
Brain surgery that did not succeed for Darell.
Active health monitoring for Darell which led to the discovery of Stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Now the journey to fight for Darell life and defeat his cancer.

Of course along the way there were many joys and wonderful times with family and friends. We also remember those past along the way. They will stay in our hearts and memories forever.

In church yesterday the sermon was on HOPE. The family in the blog above is a poster child for God’s grace and hope.

Hi guys!

Hunbled is a great word to sum up all that the Lawrenson's have made me feel. I've been following their story since last fall when Tricia first got pregnant.

You are guys are definately in my prayers. Now I know how to pray, before it was kind of generic but thankfully we have an all-knowing, all-sufficient God.

Welcome to the world of blogging:)
