Confused I cried out, “Why Lord would you put homeschooling on my heart and then allow my son to have leukemia two weeks later?”

In His still quiet voice, I sensed God tell me that I may not have seen Connor’s symptoms if he had been in kindergarten at the public school. By listening, obeying and surrendering to God’s will I witnessed a miracle through Connor's cancer treatment. I saw the hand of God as He led us through the battle for His glory.

Over the years, God has given me “divine appointments” to comfort and encourage others who are struggling with cancer. Being involved in the Cancer Care Ministry at the Rock Church gives me opportunities to minister to other mothers who have children with cancer.

Ten years after Connor’s leukemia diagnosis, I begin another year rushing out the door to get kids to school. I still treasure the memories of two short weeks, when I slowed down to homeschool. I never had the opportunity to homeschool again, but God showed me that I can be a light in the public school. Often at school functions, I share Connor’s story of God's faithfulness to those who need the hope of Jesus.
