Lord, I Need More Then A Little Help



There’s no words to describe the pain of being told that your husband is dying. For a long time it’s been hard to see that Jesse has been sick, but that’s all changed in the past few months. Jesse’s health has slowly been declining since beginning of May and taken a fast turn in the last 3 weeks. He is exhausted and in pain for most days. We were told at Jesse’s oncology appointment that his liver is full of cancer and is failing . We’ve always known this day could come but walking it out is a whole different heartache and experience. To tell your kids that their dad is going to die and hear the cries from deep down is something no one should ever have to experience.  So we cling to God’s promise -The Lord is close to the brokenhearted

    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.-Psalm 34:18

Jesse wins no matter the outcome to his life and the way things are going he will be with Christ sooner than later.  So as we make plans for Jesse to go home to be with Jesus would you pray for us? Would you pray that He guides our path and opens doors. That He would prepare the kids and I for Jesse’s departure from this earth and give us the strength in the days ahead. 

Jesse will be trying another round of chemo to see if it can slow the progression. The oncologist doesn’t think it will do much but Jesse is determined to make sure his kids know he gave it his all. 

We had a beautiful vacation out East in the beginning of June and were so thankful we had that time together.


Love, 

Jesse and Jenn 


Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. - John 14:27

Moving Forward

For the past two weeks we have been busy with appointments and some changes once again in our lives. Jesse saw a Natural path Doctor in Burlington at the beginning when he was diagnosed. We hadn't seen her since then and had a visit with her in early March. She encouraged us to see another Doctor in Toronto who specializes in cancer care. We contemplated going but decided to do the paperwork and schedule a visit to see what he had to offer. Last Thursday we went to Toronto for a consultation. At this consultation Jesse had bloodwork done and a thorough visit by the team who works at Medicor Cancer Center. We were impressed by the team and went home to think about all the information we had gained. It's been on our minds to forgo chemo but is a really difficult decision to make. This doctor articulated what we had been feeling and thinking for a while. He shared that chemo is a short term solution and that eventually it would ruin Jesse's body. He was floored that Jesse had

Raw and Honest

I'm going to be raw and honest in this one. Life is hard, harder than anyone can ever anticipate. When you say those wedding vows it sounds nice and wonderful. You never really expect to be hit by the "for worst" part of life, until you are. Until you are wondering if you will ever get to hold your husband again. Until you realize how quickly life can change within a split second. Life wasn't meant to be talking about funeral plans at the age of 35 or deciding where a loved one should be buried if death does come knocking sooner than later. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we're all going to die but it's what we do with that statement that matters. Life wasn't meant to be this way, we were meant to live forever in a perfect world but sin happened. It wrecked everything, yet God already knew and had a plan; a beautiful plan to save us.....Jesus.  We're so thankful that we can call on His name any time of any day and know He hears us .
