For God is with us, not alone our pain and anguish we bear."<br /><br />The hymn "In Suffering Love" is one of my all time favourites, because its words remind us again and again that God will never forsake or forget us. Remember Isaiah 49: 15-16? God himself has inscribed your name on the palm of his hand. This situation seems terribly hard and we are moved with compassion at the depth of your struggle, but this cancer and its treatment is not too difficult for God to work in the midst of. No suffering is too much for his healing. No agony can surpass the cross, and there he took it all - consumed all the brokenness and pain of humanity, willingly taking it upon himself. Keep clinging to Jesus, he is faithful, and he is risen, and we can cry out to heaven together on Colin's behalf and know that our high priest understands our plea, and knows exactly what emotional and physical suffering is like.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Lisa and JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737418951740708809.post-56247216005478059782010-05-12T12:04:47.604-07:002010-05-12T12:04:47.604-07:00Dear Colin & Missy:
What a huge decision you ...Dear Colin & Missy:<br /><br />What a huge decision you both have to make.<br /><br />I believe that God has given His guidance by sending you a 100% match in Kris. <br /><br />I believe God has given His wisdom in creating the technology that is available to all of us, that will help to heal you so that you will be with your family for years and years to come. This may be a longer process than you would like, regarding treatment/transplant/recovery, BUT in the grand scheme of things, this is just a spec in time. <br /><br />Just think of the incredible gift of knowledge that God has given this great team of doctors who unfortunately deal with this every day; maybe this is the direction that God wants you to take. <br /><br />This is so hard; I can`t imagine what must be going through your minds. You are in my thought and prayers!! I love you!!<br /><br />Aunt DebbieDebbie and Brian Burritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853762528219721363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737418951740708809.post-7745310388343467562010-05-11T21:25:55.758-07:002010-05-11T21:25:55.758-07:00Dear Colin and Missy:

God is giving you a chance; please don't deny this gift from God. I think that God feels that Colin has a lot more to accomplish in this life, so He sent you Kris. God gave the world and His people the technology and these great doctors who He knows will help you to survive this dreadful disease. The treatment/transplant/recovery in Calgary, is just a spec of time in the grand scheme of things; you will have a lifetime to fullfill your dreams and to be with Melissa and the boys.<br /><br />I love you!!!<br /><br />Aunt DebbieDebbie and Brian Burritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853762528219721363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737418951740708809.post-12883739468377820722010-05-11T20:37:21.397-07:002010-05-11T20:37:21.397-07:00Dear Missy and Colin:
