For the past two plus years we have been praying for the Colbert family and especially Abbey as they all struggle through leukemia. Today Abbey took her last chemo treatment. I am officially taking their banner of the blog and celebrating God's amazing grace and faithfulness to them. I have loved to watch how in the most difficult times they have pointed to God and the strength that he has given them. We have been drawn closer to Christ and have had many opportunities to hallow his name through their lives and watching this situation, even from so far away. We will continue to watch for more opportunities to praise God in Abbey's life and in her family. Jim and Shelley will be able to replay the last two years for their family over and over again and use it as Moses did for the nation of Israel to point to God's faithfulness. We will do the same. Thank you God, for sparing Abbey, for upholding her and Jim, Shelley, Jacob, Caleb and Micah, and for making your name great in all of it.
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.
Deuteronomy 7:9

Thank you so very much Andy to you, Amanda and your family for your love and support to us over these past 2+ years. We know you have all faithfully prayed for us and we are forever grateful for that! We truly felt the body of Christ come up around us from near and far to walk this road with us so thank you for the friendship that you have showed us since day 1 of this journey!
That picture of the last day's meds made my eyes well up. I am encouraged especially by Shelly's strength (directly from the Lord's hands) through this ordeal. I can't imagine the difficulty of walking with your child through these HARD days. Thank you, Lord, for your goodness and faithfulness to this family! My image of Shelley and Amanda in their CVCA cheerleader uniforms has been replaced ! :)
