Mid-Morning Update

God is answering your prayers.

1. They will be doing the lung test shortly, so please pray that they will be able to figure out why the left lung is not working properly.

2. Dr. Mayer stated again today that if they can get the infection cleared up, it opens up numerous options.

3. Laura and Jan had opportunity to share with one of her doctors about the answer to your prayers about the bleeding stopping last night. He asked them to get on the blog the need to put in another line today. That was cool. We are smiling that the doctors and nurses are asking us to put stuff on the blog! Yeah, God!

On Wednesday night Jan texted me a verse the Lord had given her several weeks ago: "Though it tarries, wait for it ..." Habakuk 2:3. I smiled this morning ... When I opened "My Utmost for His Highest" -- guess what the verse was for today? Coincidence? You will have to decide.

This is the verse of the day on Biblegateway.com:

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.”- 1 John 5:14-15

I also read My Utmost this morning via the e-mail devotional I get.

The thing that really hit me was the second part of the first sentence:

...patience conveys the idea of an immensely strong rock withstanding all onslaughts.

Ultimately, we know that He is the rock, but the strength that all of you have displayed has just blown me away. It has been such a testimony to me (and I'm sure to hundreds of others) to see how you all are weathering this storm.

We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.


Thanks for the updates. Continuing to pray.

Love and prayers,

Susan M.

I have been meditating on these verses this week and praying for God's strength for you. I was so glad to hear Laura share on the phone at the hymnsing that you were sensing strenth that comes from God through this time. Though I'm sure physically this is taking a toll on all of you each day. I'm glad God is answering this prayer for you.

2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

I Corinthians 4:8,9
We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed--

Same passage from the "Message":
8 ... We've been surrounded and battered by troubles, but we're not demoralized; we're not sure what to do, 9 but we know that God knows what to do; ...God hasn't left our side;
