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!

Lastest on Logan

As of this morning Logan's fever was down some, which is good.  The second meds did not work.  The doctors are trying to rule out one thing at a time.  Dad stayed with Logan last night and Mom got to spend some time with the girls.  Pray for a diagnosis and for strength for all involved. 

Logan Update

There is not much news, but some have been asking for an update.  Logan is still at TCH.  The first meds didn't work and they will try another.  Mom is coming home tonight to see her daughters and get some sleep.  Please pray that they have a nice evening together.  Pray Logan can rest well without mom by his side tonight.  And pray for healing!

Logan needs our prayers!

Logan B. one of Jeffrey's kindergarten classmates is at Texas Children's now under going test.  He has a large lump on his neck that is causing him pain.  His lymph nodes are enlarger and the lump is very close to some major blood vessels.  He has had x-rays and will also have an ultra sound along with other test.  He is currently receiving clindamuycin through IV.  He will be staying overnight.  Please pray that all test results come back clean, answers come quickly, and a solution can be found. 

Lord, you are peace and healer!  Please give Logan and his family peace and heal his little body!  Amen!

Spider Webs

After biking with the kiddos to school this morning I biked around the neighborhood and a park.  At the park there is a gravel path that is wooded.  This morning it was cool, sunny and quiet on the path--just perfect!  The sunlight was shining through the trees just so that I could see many spider webs across the path.  It was beautiful!  I had to ride with my hand in front of my face, which turned my workout into a leisure ride.  After a bit I did not see anymore webs and I put my hand down.  To my surprise I got webs in the face--yuck!  The light had changed and the webs were there, but I couldn't see them.  So I continued riding with my hand up just in case.  These spider webs were very pretty to look at, but no fun to ride through.   This makes me think of life.  There are many "webs" in our lives that are just no fun to go through, but when we slow down and let Jesus shine on them it is beautiful!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

After trying to sleep for hours I finally decided to just get up and blog!  Happy 3rd day of 2014!  As, I have been laying in bed my mind as been busy with a lot going through it such as new year's resolutions.  I had not planned on making any, but when you can't sleep you think and God speaks.
 So. . .here they are my three goals for 2014 with objects as well. :)

Goal #1 To Love

"We love Him [Jesus] because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19

" . . .love one another as I have loved you." John 15:12

How do I truly love others?  Grace!  That is how God has shown me love so that is how I can show love.

Objective #1 daily receive God's grace.

Objective #2 daily read God's Word so I am full of His love to share.

Goal #2 To Joy

"Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!" Psalm 32:11

"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11

I miss out on so much joy just because I don't stop to recognize the moment.  Every moment is from God and thus joy can be found in it if we look. 

Objective #1 stop and recognize the moment.

Objective #2 give thanks!

Goal #3 To Rest

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."  Matthew 11:28-30

The cares of the world wear me out!  And stress me out!  The Lord's cares may be tiring as well, but they will bring peace to my soul.

Objective #1 read God's Word so I know His burden.

Objective #2 drop the cares of the world just like Peter, Andrew, John and James (Matthew 4:18-22)did and follow Jesus.
