Looking back...
It hardly seems possible that 365 days ago to the hour (1 pm, 13th Nov 2006), we were walking alongside a gurney,
watching our 6 year old son being wheeled into the waiting room where he would wait for 30 minutes before being wheeled into the operating theatre for brain surgery to remove a tumor. Our thoughts were flooded with "What if...?" questions and all we could think of was the worst. Praise the Lord we can now look back and see God's hand of love, mercy and healing! Today, Jean Marc is alive and well, he's grown nearly two and a half inches taller in the past year, he runs, plays, and even gets into trouble believe it or not?! Just the other night at his school awards ceremony, we sat and 
watched him receive a "Merit Award for Numeracy" and also the "Best Reader Award" in his class level at Maranatha Christian School. Nicole is doing great, enjoys school and really looks up to her older brother. Fortunately they both get along really well most of the time and she loves the fact that Jean Marc reads so well because she loves listening to stories being read. Do we have reason to rejoice? Absolutely!

Giving glory to God should be paramount in all we do, so I just wanted to remind those who have prayed for us, and especially for Jean Marc over the past 365 days, that God deserves all the praise and we hope that in the months to come, that the rejoicing will only continue for the things He has done and will continue to do.
