Joey and Rory

I recently discovered the music of Joey and Rory, a talented husband/wife from Columbia, TN.  In finding their music, I found hope.  They are a young couple singing songs that connect with what I believe and value.  They sing wonderful songs but also the old, wonderful hymns like "In The Garden", "Have You Been Washed in the Blood".  I love these hymns and their authenticity as people.  They are a humble people, and it's easy to see that by the way they homestead, serve, and remain grateful. 
I also see the love between the couple, and to me, it is inspiring love.  After discovering their music, I also found out that Joey's cervical cancer has come back, and she has stage four cancer now.  Even though I don't know this precious lady personally, I feel like I know her, and my heart breaks for her.  This couple has a one year old girl named Indiana.  She is the light of their lives, born with down syndrome. 
I have been following Rory's blog, This Life I Live, and I am praying for them.  Please keep them in your prayers as well.  I am reminded that as believers we are guaranteed persecution... Life is so hard, confusing at times... (thinking of Charleston, SC) but our faith continues on and we know He is with us. 
Bless this precious couple, Jesus, and be glorified.  Comfort, ease the pain, restore her body, I pray.
