I just don't want anyone confused when you see CaringBridge inviting you to give toward my site. You can find links on my Facebook page toward ministries and organizations I represent. **Please note that donations to CaringBridge are not donations to the Denton family or the other charitable organizations I represent. I choose to face whatever comes my way today with You, my glorious and awesome God. From all of eternity, You have been working wonders in creation, redemption, and providential care. Your holiness is beautiful beyond comprehension. You said "I am the first and I am the last and beside Me there is no God." (Isa. In Christ Jesus, You deposited grace to my account when I was bankrupt and declared my debt paid in full by Your Beloved Son. You are completely everywhere at all times. Your judgments are unsearchable, and Your ways are past finding out. You give wisdom generously to all without finding fault. You are the source of all truth and wisdom. Your love is incomprehensibly vast, measureless in its length, depth, width, and height. You know us best and still love us, in spite of our frailty and sin. In Your eternal permanence we find stability and peace. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. You see the beginning and end simultaneously therefore, Your people can trust Your leading. Consider praying these truths with me back to God. We let God define our point of view for life not the other way around. I would encourage you with these thoughts about WHO GOD IS that is still true in both bad and good news scenarios. This message includes some Bad News you may not have been expecting.

That's how God always works. The brightest days for Waterbrook are ahead and I'm thrilled to have been part of the development of those plans. It is exciting to see how God was putting things in place before we even knew what was happening in my life. They were put in place prior to my prognosis. We covet you prayers through this new journey and sense great peace in the plan God has for me.Īs Lead Pastor at Waterbrook Bible Fellowship in Wylie, Texas, I can tell you the Elders had been working on a plan prior to my diagnosis about some new staffing strategies. And 10% of "miracle patients" can make it 8 years. If the chemo has impact, I may extend 1-5 years. If the treatments are not successful reducing the tumors (yes, multiple), then the time frame I was given was six months. These treatments will hopefully buy me some more time on this earth because I still have much to do. They fit me into a super-early surgery today to get a port inserted into my body and begin chemo immediately after the 4th of July holiday. It's not the news we had hoped for, but exactly what God already knew. We learned this week that I have Bile Duct Cancer.
