Cancer part of Tae's Purpose ?
Link: Tae 2006: Pic of Tae before surgery
A picture just before Tae went in for surgery.
Towards the end of the past year and before her 5th operation in 12 months, Tae stated in an email that entering the operation room was not a problem because "God has her purpose tucked under his arm". This quiet assurance was there when the diagnosis changed to cancer in January / February this year.
As she became aware of the extent of the operation she accepted it simply because "cancer is a gift" and so is the Faith in God to deal with it..... Again convinced that there is a purpose for all this. In the past week we have seen and experienced an outpouring of love from family, friends, people, organizations and churches - many who have not met Tae - who for some reason have been challenged or moved by her story
We do not know where this is going but again its like a boat driven through the storm in a direction only the pilot knows... we the parents have been forced to just take the ride and trust.... like Tae. I have seen and heard more stories of providence and inspiration from these last few weeks then in the rest of my life. Its as if we reached a certain point after a year of continuous medication for Tae where the stakes suddenly went up (cancer) and God says "leave it to me.... I have a purpose for Tae"
There are stories and experiences we will share on this blog over the next few months...
It's no wonder that children are to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. What may be perceived as a "tragedy" to me and to most folks, is a gift to Tae. I applaud Tae for her courage, bravery and absolute spirit!!! I will be with you Tae every step of the way!!! Virtual Hugs & Kisses, Auntie Kava!!!
ps...Angela(5yrs old) your cousin says, "I love you Tae!"
