“I would rather be disappointed …” 
“… tomorrow we will trust you again.” 
In her entries for January 24 and 28, 2015, Katie reflected on lessons she was learning from fellow-travelers as she walked her own road with cancer. In particular, she was processing the tension she felt over parenting (when you never feel good) and trusting in God for a miracle (when you never feel good).
In times of intense suffering, it’s easy to let circumstances cloud your clear thinking. That’s when it’s most important to have others around you who are supporting you on your journey, not just with meals but with words of truth.

Thank you so much Norman. I am so so glad to hear Katie’s thoughts. This is especially important to me as I am now facing my last year and have even been thinking of doing a podcast…thank you for doing this for Katie and for me.
Oh, Amy, it breaks my heart to hear this. If Katie’s words help you on your own journey, I would do this just for you.
“Keep asking and keep trusting.” I needed that this morning.
Thank you, Norman. This was a huge encouragement to my heart and soul today. This month marks the anniversary of Parker’s birth, 27 years ago. I grieve, sad about his special needs and all that he and we have endured, but also sad about the choices he is making now, walking away from his family and the Lord. The encouragement to keep asking and keep trusting helps me persevere. Katie was a very special friend, and her words to me over the years about Parker in particular, still comfort me. We miss you and your family. I eagerly await to hear more of what Katie has to say in her journals, through you.
