Muddy Shoes

Yesterday, for Mother's Day we went on a picnic at Washington on the Brazos.  The weather was perfect--sunny with a nice breeze!  While there we walked the trail that leads you to an overlook of the Brazos river and along a path that was I'm sure very pretty just a few weeks ago with Texas wildflowers.  Yesterday, however it was just muddy!  At a particular muddy area I was in the lead (1st mistake) and then followed someone else's footprints (second mistake).  I ended up ankle deep in mud!  Luckily no one else followed me.  Josh helped me out of the mud and then lead us over this muddy area on firmer mud.  It was pretty funny :)  As, we walked on I realized what a great lesson this could make for the boys.  So, I explained to the boys that just because someone else had gone through the muddy area a certain way didn't mean it was the best way to go.  And in life we shouldn't just follow anyone, but make sure we are following the right person.  I then asked who should you follow?  Jackson said, Jesus.  And he is right Jesus is the only sure way to get through the mud of life and to eternal life with God.

4th anniversary

Yesterday was the 4th anniversary of Jamie's stillbirth.  It was a very hard day that kind of took me by surprise.  I had planned for Mother's Day ( I don't really like mother's day), but not for yesterday.  Today has not been much better, but that's ok.

Over the last few weeks studying Jesus’s death and resurrection (at BSF and Church) I have come to a deeper understanding and realization of God as my Comforter.   As, Jesus was hang on the cross with the weight of my sin on Him God could not look at Him or help His son.  God had to let the plan unfold.  The God of the universe knows my pain and sorrow like no one else!  Not only does He know my pain and sorrow, but by His power Jesus was raised from the death so I will one day see Jamie healed completely just like I prayed for four years ago and until then God is my Comforter!

HOME

Logan is still fever free and once the dressing came off his neck everything looked good and was draining well.  YEAH!  They are on their way home right now!!!  The doctors still don't have a specific diagnosis, but said it is not cancer.  Thank you all for praying.  God heard your prayers!

A good night sleep!

Logan had a good night of rest last night.  He slept through the night with no pain and no fever!  Praise God!!!  No results on the biopsy yet.  Keep the prayers going!

Bed Bugs!

Here is the latest on Logan.  They had to move to another room in the middle of the night because bed bugs were found in his bed. . .ugh!  Logan is still having a hard time keeping his fever down.  It continues to spike between 102-103.  The biopsy will be at 2:30pm today, thus Logan has been fasting since midnight.  Mom has asked for us to pray for a specific treatable diagnosis and that Logan will be able to come home for Easter.

This afternoon at 4pm several ladies and I will be meeting together to pray.  Please take a moment at 4 to join in prayer with us.  We will be asking 1st for God's will to be done and for Him to receive glory during this trying time for Logan and his family, that others may come to know God through this struggle and that Logan will be completely healed!

Scans are back. . .

Logan's scans are back and they still don't know much.  The doctors are still saying it could be a rare bacteria, virus or cancer.  The oncology team has scheduled a biopsy for tomorrow morning.  Pray it is not cancer!  Mom says she has realized how she has taken health for granted.  And her heart is aching thinking of the sacrifice Christ made for us all on the cross!

Spend some time in pray today friends.  Thank God for the sacrifice of His Son and that He is risen.  Christ over came death and I am praying that through that same power He will heal Logan.  If you don't know about this ultimate sacrifice that God made for all mankind message me, talk to a friend or attend a Church service this Sunday where all over the world believers will gather to celebrate that Christ has risen!

CT scan

Logan is under going a CT scan as I type.  The next step is a biopsy.  The doctors have narrowed it down to three things:

1. a rare bacteria
2. a rare virus
3. cancer

Pray my friends!
