3 weeks and counting

So I'm obviously not great at updating this blog, but that is not to say that I've fallen off the smoothie wagon. I'm still hanging in there at the 3 week mark. I saw Dad in Nebraska this weekend and it was great motivation for me to stick with this and support him. Amy had some great soup recipes and I was able to make him a couple of smoothies that he really seemed to enjoy. He ordered a cordless immersion blender that he is extremely excited about. It felt good to give him some practical help when there is really so little I can do for him in a tangible way.

In his blog yesterday he confessed that he's actually pretty scared about all that is going to happen now that his treatment has actually begun. It's pretty eye-openning to discover that your father has real vulnerabilities like that. But knowing that he wants and needs the support of his family and friends keeps me going with this. Every time I push "liquify" on the blender I remember to pray for him, his doctors and the treatment.

Additionally, Jason has been just incredible with this. He is so encouraging, especially when I want to cave in and eat BBQ potato chips, and has gone to great lengths to make sure I have good things to eat. Another reminder of how very blessed I am.

In the midst of it all, I can say with certainty that God is good.
