I love you, more than you know.

Challenging week, enriched in the presence of God.  I see the Lord testing me.

This week, I found out that a Pastor who I listen to via podcast on Itunes weekly has brain cancer. Well he has had it since early December but I just found out. Strange how that works since ive been listening to him preach every week. Hes going through chemo right now but is released on the weekends. So he has preached every sunday since he started. Pretty astounding and incredibly inspirational. I watched him in his video updates on how he is doing be incredibly Bold. The video blogs are on youtube and some of his sermon videos are on other video sites, I reccommend you check them out and be inspired. The man is up on stage which a fresh scar on covering his whole skull, no more hair and progressively looking more frail. But he isnt slowing and mainstream news outlets like yahoo and msnbc have written powerful stories about him. He is a very honest intense man, with or without that terrible disease.

I think that I found out this week for a very specific reason. I could have and probably should have know far before tuesday but I did not. The timing is special for me. It truly humbled me and helped me put in perspective my struggles. They I cannot complain, his name is Matt Chandler and he refuses to complain and he has had an increase in faith daily.

“My true test here is, whether or not I am going to struggle well”- Matt Chandler.

Also a God side note, Matt ends every sermon with the same sendoff. ” I love you, more than you know”. This week we sang the song “How He Loves” over and over again both in sunday service, our worship and 33 Live.  Making the timing of it all so profound, unrelenting message that God loves us more than we know.

Pray for him, for total physical healing.
