David's update

We went to Kirklin last Monday for David's MRI and Doc appointment. The MRI showed that David's tumor is still there but it hasn't grown. Praise God for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As of now, David will continue with this treatment until January. His doctor will be consulting other doctors and hospitals for a possible breakthrough. Please keep praying for us and the doctors and the research that they are doing. He is having seizures again but as he says "nothing to these." We will be watching these too and if they get frequent again they will adjust his medicine. We're just staying the course.

Brother Gary's sermon yesterday was on the tests that we are put through. I've thought about it and it can feel like a pop quiz and some days it may feel like the final exam but we should let go and LET GOD. I came across this verse this morning. "Fear not, neither be discouraged." Deuteronomy 1:21

My calendar this morning had the following remarks on it:

In the darkest pit of despair, when God give us the light to take only one step at a time, His message to us is still simply: Trust Me.

I hope this can be a great reminder and help you today. Happy Monday to you.

With lots of love and big big hugs from me.....................J:)y

For he shall give his angels charge over thee.

Good morning and happy Monday. Feels like fall!

David continues to hold his own and he has a treatment this month and an MRI. Please keep us in your prayers. Emma recovered from the flu and is back on the plains.

Please pray for a very special friend of mine and her family. Her name is Julie Peterson. She was diagnosed with breast cancer last week and will have tests this week and some surgery. She lives in Kentucky and she is involved in the therapeutic riding program there. I have known Julie since childhood. (a long time)

Donnie, it was great seeing you at church yesterday and you and Ashley have a great week.

Mike and Lindsey thanks for trail ride. Other than the rattlesnake it was uneventful and peaceful!


May God Bless you today!

David and Joy

Good morning.

David is doing okay and his treatments are every three weeks now. He is scheduled for another MRI in September.

Emma is moved and adjusting to college life.

Happy Friday and Have a great weekend.

David's two month MRI and doc appointment.

Good morning. The news we received yesterday was good. David's tumor has not grown. That's what we were hoping and praying for. His treatments will continue every other week for now. We do go back Monday for treatment.

Thank you for the prayers.

Emma (and me too) survived Camp War Eagle! We received another blessing this week as she was awarded another scholarship! Her move is just weeks away.

I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me. Psalm 13:5-6

Nothing much happening, yet anyway!

My brother Tim Brown is recovering from back surgery that he had on Wednesday. Please keep him in your prayers.

David continues the treatments every other week at Kirklin Clinic and things are going along.

Emma is more than ready to get to Auburn and will be moving over there in August.

Donnie and Ashley, you have my prayers. I think about you and pray for you everyday. Love y'all!

We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Love and big big hugs to you,

Today's Reading

I was just reading and was reminded how every mountain has a valley. Several verses accompany this reading today and I wanted to share them with you.

Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Psalm 28:7

The reading reflected on the valleys whether there were many, few or will they be dark and dim. The questions asked were how will you react to them and how will you go through them?

There will be rocks, rivers, ravines and shadows. It made me think of what is waiting. The top of the mountain! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Think about the top of the mountain today and not the rocks and shadows.

Big hugs and lots of love to you this morning.



Joy
Phillipians 4:13
