We all fasted for Jaron today. His surgery is on Friday, and we are all praying for miracles. I've been praying that the surgeon will be able to get it all. I've been praying that he will still be able to talk when he's done. I've been praying that Jaron will have a long life still with his family. I've been praying that Joni and Jaron will be comforted and lifted up and blessed.
I know the stress of this has been weighing everyone down. It's such a huge thing for their family to face. They also got the bad news that Jaron's mom's tumor is a glioblastoma -- stage 4. To have three members of the same family with brain cancer seems so unbelievable. We are all just praying for the best possible outcome.
Today at church, the kids performed in the primary program. Owen, Austin, and Miles all had speaking parts and they all did such a fantastic job! The songs were all so wonderful, too. I was so proud of my own kids and also my little primary class, too. It was such a great day. BUT. After sitting on the stand and performing for an hour, those kids were wild! I couldn't hardly blame them!
We made it through class the best we could, and I even took them on a little walk outside. And then we went to sharing time. The leaders wanted to celebrate a job well done, so they passed out treats and watched some little church videos about primary kids around the world. And it was almost pure chaos in that primary room!! By now, it as after 5:00 p.m., and the kids couldn't contain themselves any longer. It was like they couldn't even be good if they wanted to! I was hungry from fasting; I had a massive headache; and I was counting down the minutes to get out of there!! :)
Somehow, we exited the room alive and made it home for dinner. We all ate and put our feet up. It had been a long day at the end of a wild weekend. But I'm so grateful to have been here for it all.
