Answered prayer

An amazing thing happened today.

As many of you know, my mom's sister, my Aunt Kathy, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma a few weeks ago after a visit to Mayo Clinic. The doctor who called her with the news gave her a grim prognosis. We were all devastated.

Many, many prayers were said. Last week she went to UAMS, one of the nation's leading hospitals in the treatment of the disease, for testing.

This afternoon she met with the doctor to talk about treatment and found out she doesn't have cancer after all. They're not quite sure what happened with the initial diagnosis. I choose to believe that one of the nation's most prominent hospitals wasn't that far off, God just had bigger plans for her. He answered our prayers in the most absolute of ways.

Yes, sometimes His answer is no, but sometimes it's a resounding yes.

As my nephew Taylor so eloquently put it when I texted him, "Go Jesus." Indeed.
