Better Than Negative

There a a little girl, Kate McRae, that Hannah has been following for some time. She is a little girl that has experienced cancer. She has inspired so many. Her parents keep people up-to-date through a caring bridge website. Here is a portion of yesterdays post that shows the amazing faith of a child. 

"Tomorrow is a BIG day! A big day in a season that has had it's share of big days. Kate will have a PET scan starting at 1:30 (4:30) EST. We are hoping and praying that the test will come back negative, this would most likely indicate that there is not any cancerous tumor remaining at this point. Tonight our family was praying for Kate by her bedside as she snoozed from a long day. Olivia opened up praying that the test would be negative, and then Will proceed to agree with Olivia's prayer and I concluded. As soon as I finished Will said he wanted to pray again and this time he prayed that the results from the PET scan would be 'better than negative'. Olivia asked him how that was even possible, and Will condescendingly replied as only a 5 year old could, that 'better than negative' means that it's like there was never a tumor there. I like that, in fact I think we may appoint him our official intercessor, he has faith and he has audacity." 


I pray that our lives will be "better than negative". That is, that whatever is hurting and hindering us would be like it never was there.
