19 years

Nineteen years ago I had the the most rewarding job that I ever had given to me........ I became known that day as Emma's mom! Happy Birthday EK we love you! Mom and Dad

May God Bless you today as he has blessed us so much. We have so much to be thankful for and I always remind everyone to live each day to the fullest for the Glory of God!

David is doing okay this week and we are gearing up for our appointment on Monday.

Love and big big hugs this morning to you,
Joy

David

David is on his fourth round of the 21 day chemo pills. We go to UAB on the 18th.

He continues to hold his own and still amazes me with his attitude of gratitude and his sense of humor. To the date it's been two years. He is a miracle. We need your prayers and thank you for them!

May God Bless you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. This was my April 21 verse and I haven't changed my calendar since...In fact, this is the verse that I repeat throughout the day now.

David will finish his second round of chemo pills this weekend. He is taking them every day for 21 days then off a week. He is having some seizures again. I take him back to UAB on the 16th for an MRI and Doc appointment. Please continue to pray for our safe travel and the results. David is a miracle and continues to keep going.

May God Bless you,
Joy

Prayer Request

We go to Birmingham Monday for an MRI. Please pray for our safe travel and the results of the test. May God Bless you today and keep you safe in this inclement weather.

Hugs to you,

Joy

Appointments

Good morning......

My calendar saying for the day....In the darkest pit of despair, when God gives us the light to take only one step at a time, His message to us is still simply....TRUST ME.

We are scheduled to go back to UAB on the 21st. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

May God Bless you,

David and Joy

New Year

In this world it seems so many are searching and not looking in the right places or asking for the right directions. This year make it a point to reach to out others and encourage everyone that you come in contact with. My calendar had a saying the other day that read "People don't care how much you know. They just need to know how much you care." We can share the love of Christ when we reach out by phone, email, cards or just a visit. Of course I joke all the time that a "Baptist casserole" can't hurt anything either!

Thanks for all the prayers, cards, emails and "Baptist casseroles" that we received this past year. David continues to be an inspiration to me and to the others. The new medicine has helped the seizures but drains him at times. To this day I have not heard one complaint or negative word from him. The doctor told us one day at time and we go back in February for an MRI. I thank God eveyday for another one. Be thankful for each day that you have. If you stop long enough at the end of the day and count your blessings you will forget the bad. For the last 18 months I've had to sit in waiting rooms for treatments, mri and doctors appointments. I found that just telling someone that I will pray for them changes their countenance. Prayer works. May God Bless you and May you have a Happy New Year.
