Expecting News on Monday

Expecting News on Monday October 31, 2010, 8:03 AM

Many of you have been asking if we have gotten test results back so we thought now was a good time to update and ask for prayer. It has been a challenging couple of weeks waiting for results. I have had CT scans, repeat scans, lots of lab work, and then more lab work this past week. My doctor assured me on Friday that all test results would be in and that he would be calling me on Monday to discuss all of the results, hear from me the current status
of my symptoms (fever, night sweats, fatigue, weight loss, etc.), and discuss what the next steps should be.[...]

First, Steve and I want to thank each of you for the overwhelming support we have felt from
your prayers, kind words, and encouraging messages. We are blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful friends! There are not adequate words to express how much your love, concern, care, and encouragement have buoyed us in these days of uncertainty.[...]

"His eye is on the Sparrow"

"His eye is on the Sparrow" October 7, 2010, 7:09 PM

I hope everyone enjoyed their spring and summer. We certainly did!! Steve and I decided to take a 3,000 mile motorcycle trip through six states. The trip was even more fun than I could have ever imagined. We rode on average 350 - 400 miles per day. Steve was so thoughtful to buy me a very, very nice seat and not one time did my butt hurt!! Over the course of almost two weeks, we visited many historic landmarks and enjoyed time at several National Parks including the Grand Tetons, Mt. Rushmore, and Yellowstone. We joined up with Steve's mom and dad halfway through the trip. They traveled west from Tennessee in their RV and then came back to Washington with us and stayed another week. Steve's brother was able to fly out for a long weekend. It was so nice to have his whole family together. We also were able to see my mom and dad and an aunt and uncle in early summer when their Alaskan cruise terminated in Vancouver, BC. Through our church, Mars Hill Olympia (www.marshillchurch.org), we began hosting and leading a Bible Study group (Community Group) in our home in June. The group has continued to grow and this past Tuesday night I sat in awe as 19 people gathered in our living room to fellowship, to study God's word, to pray, and to minister to others. We have been so blessed by this group of people that have become an integral part of our lives. We definitely had a blessed summer with family and friends.[...]
