Dear Friends,

Thanks for your concerted prayer, worship & support.  Maura just reminded me that “before the battle are the Lord’s worshipers and in this battle that is you. It is the Lord’s battle and not ours.”

We also wanted to let you know we had a great and peaceful drive yesterday with good worship.  Tomorrow should be a big day here in NYC with testing, results and decisions.  Then we have one more appointment Wednesday AM before our drive home.  We have an attitude of expectation and not anxiety.  Maura asks, in addition to your prayers for her, you pray that I not be swallowed up whole by HP (work) or other drama (floods, family, …) come Thursday regardless of the outcome.  Also please pray for peace for our boys and especially Josh who is at the Passion conference this week in Atlanta.

I will use this distribution for a short update tomorrow followed by an update to the larger community Wednesday or Thursday.


Love Terry & Maura

Climb - Will Reagan

I lean not on my own understanding
My life is in the hands of the Maker of Heaven
I give it all to You, God
Trusting that You’ll make something beautiful out of me
I will climb this mountain with my hands wide open
There’s nothing I hold onto
If I had to choose one song that symbolized this journey and brought us the most comfort it would be this one. It was a constant in our lives since Janet brought it to us in the hospital back in May of 2016. I will forever think of this as Maura's anthem as it so clearly represents her approach to cancer and life in general
