Above is a photo that is precious to me. Its a photo of some of the most brave, loving, compassionate, Relentless fighters i know of. Id like to introduce my family. To the left we have Isaac 15, Hayden 8, Jayson, Myself, and Lexi 13. Arent they a good looking bunch :) I could explain the two boys with casts, but thats a whole other post :) Lets just say its been an eventful week.
Where would i be without them? Absolutely nowhere, if you know us personally, which on some level you are getting there :) you would know that we are fighters even beyond cancer. Weve been through a lot as a family and we remain strong and steadfast in any fight that we face. These precious faces are who help me get up in the mornings. Make me breakfasts, smoothies, juices, get me dressed and remind me of what i have to live for. They are the reason for the word we chose "Relentless" and each of you as you can relate to us as we have been through what some could say...it all :)
When you are "relentless" about something, you mean BUSINESS!! You're not stopping until you get what you want. You don't take NO for an answer. People, hardship, finances, unforeseen circumstances, or Cancer might try to get in your way or steer you from your goal, but RELENTLESS FIGHTERS have their eye on the prize. Those things will need to get out of the way because they are coming through!! This is my family in a nutshell and the reason for our Necklace and word we chose to be on it. This is how Christ pursues us daily and what we want to stand for. We press on for the prize, God has given us this unrelenting fight in us because we serve a purpose. Each one of my kids will not go through this battle in vain, it serves a purpose. What is it you may ask? I honestly am unsure, but i know its going to be grand and marvelous for each one of them. My husband will not be put to the test of "in sickness and health" without reason, its for a purpose. And boy, do they stand strong in that. Their relationships in Christ grow daily and i see them walk in it "relentlessly" We grow weary at times, little battles try to change our course or path, yet we are reminded that we are here to serve a purpose far greater than ourselves.
As a mom i want to protect them from any hurt this causes. When i hear our kids upset about me being sick, or unable to speak, i feel their pain. We've been able to find humor in the ugliness of cancer. We laugh instead of cry because we choose to. Some days its more difficult but one thing i can count on with them is.....LAUGHTER!! We find laughter because we know we fight with purpose.
In your battle, whatever it may be, know this....Relentless fighters pursue the prize. I challenge you to fight your battle relentlessly for a purpose greater than yourself. BE RELENTLESS!!!
Blessings,
Kate
