Last weekend we got together with some sweet friends of ours, Nancy and Randy Burchfield. How we know the Burchfields is a funny story. When Patrick and I were engaged in '05 we wanted to go through a Pre-Marital Class at the church we were attending. Well, we signed up at the last minute so we were the last couple so to speak. Well, they always have a mentor couple to mentor each engaged couple. So at last minute the Facilitator literally hunted the Burchfields down in the church parking lot that same morning of our first session to see if they would mentor us. So they literally inherited us at the last minute! Some relationships you know God has ordained.
Two years ago Nancy was diagnosed with liver cancer and have been going through chemo treatments. This brave one has been a trooper dealing with it all. But God has worked mightily in their lives. While going through the chemo treatments, she was able to help both of their daughters plan their weddings and see them get married last year. The weddings were 6 weeks apart! We would periodically get updates of how she is doing. The reports have been good so we have been very thankful. Recently, Nancy has elected to have surgery to remove any remaining remnants of cancer cells in her liver as a precaution. They will probably end up removing 10% of her liver. Her surgery is on April 21st so we welcome any prayers coming her way. We know Jesus is the Great Physician and our faith is in Him for her complete healing.
