I got the news about Randy Miller's possible cancer earlier this week. We kept him in our prayers and hoped for good news. Alas, good news was not in the cards. It's always sad to hear of a unfortunate medical diagnosis but when one hits so close to home, it's devastating. My husband is a friend of Randy's and I've grown to love the band over the past few years. As the wife of a touring musician I can only imagine how this is rocking his family's world. I immediately start to think about how this would shock my family were it my husband. I am pushing those thoughts out. They are not important now.
I do not need to understand why God let this happen. I sit here with tears welling up in my eyes, praying that God will heal him and allow him to spend many more years with his wife and children, and making awesome music...yet I can't help thinking negatively. And I've seen God perform a miracle in a similar situation earlier this year!! I know it's possible! I DO know that God is in control and has great things in store for all of us. Right now He is smiling at the outpouring of love for Randy and his family.
I apologize for the bumbling, melodramatic honesty in this post. I'm sad and worried and trying to pray with as much hope as possible. Please keep Randy, his wife and children, and The Myriad in your prayers. Thank you.

We serve a great God. I believe he will walk out of this w/ a great testimony.
My God can do anything. He's got the Power
They're in my prayers...as are you and Leif :) Your thoughts are completely normal and you certainly don't need to apologize! I know it sounds totally corny and cliche, but just hang in there. God is in control and his plan will be revealed in His time.
God bless,
Kelly
Are there any updates on Randy? He has been in my prayers since we heard the sad news. Ashley, I did the same thing that you did when I heard about his diagnosis; "What if it were Dan?! How would I ever cope with something like that?!" What Kelly said is so true, it's normal. Praying for Randy and knowing that we serve the all powerful God who created it all with just His word. Let's bind together and agree for Randy's healing.
Hugs,
Laura
