Matt Chandler...

So if you remember... in this earlier post I mentioned Matt Chandler. Since that post was written, Matt has been to the neurosurgeon and will have surgery Friday December 4 at Noon to remove a tumor located in the frontal lobe of his brain. The surgery will be performed by Dr. David Barnett.

Dr. Barnett told Matt that he was positive about recovery but won’t know the full results until the surgery is performed. The doctor was uncertain about the malignancy of the tumor, and a biopsy will be performed as part of the surgery.

Please pray Matt, his wife Lauren, and there three children during this time!

Taken from a letter from the elders of The Village Church:
Certainly pray for Matt’s healing, and pray that he and his family would experience great peace during this time. But don’t stop there. Ask God to reveal what work he plans to do in you, in Matt and in our church through this trial. Although it may be easy to see the hand of the enemy in a situation like this, remember that God is sovereign that he may ordain trials to deepen our faith, draw us closer to him or to accomplish some other purpose. Therefore do not fear.

We continue to rest in the knowledge that Matt is in the sovereign hand of our heavenly Father who loves him immensely more than we can comprehend, and He alone understands the reasons for this trial.

Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace
him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you.
