the eve...

.. of proceeds for poverty...
a massive 3 day sale... but soooo much more than that... a life changing event for all involved

and again ...just like these recent India adventures... i feel as though i am going forward but not even moving my legs like He is carrying me forward. I am just an observer of what HE is doing to rescue the poor and needy.  So many people being obedient together in one place makes me giddy.... it is dangerous like dynimite...ready to explode.

If God is leading you to catch some of the action. Come on out! Donate, Volunteer, or Buy and show HIS love to the world!

Look what He did last year through hundreds of obedient children.

Cancer is a long process for many. It is in Holly's genes... not sure exactly what that means but in essence.... it is predicted to be a lifetime of healing. But today we rejoice, we praise God!!!

Today Holly received the results of a test she did on Monday. After coming through 4 Chemo treatments and Radiation in a remarkable way they said she is 75% cancer free....the Doctors were so surprised at her results. 

I am not surprised, I know it is God... it is people praying... it is Him moving. Holly is now taking a rare chemo pill that miraculously she qualifies for and will be retested periodically to see how that is doing.

They said that the chemo treatments would not reach the cancer in her brain but miraculously that spot has also shrunk. 

I am overwhelmed. 

I realized today that none of us will ever be the same... that we are different people now. Relationships that we took for granted before now we cherish. A glimpse of hope that might have gone unrejoiced over before now we celebrate. We see the brevity of life in a different way now. We see the beauty of life as God's gift now... cherished ....every day....every moment. 

Today I rejoice... 75%... and more to go....

Speaking of life .... Jeriah is 3 years old as of May 18th.... my little man! 

9 years of marriage

9 years of marriage... as of May 31st ...every year we write a word/phrase summary of a lesson we have learned through marriage that year...

I am holding a sign that says "Year #9" (in India) and Jonathan's says "Teamwork" (in VA)... another similar word that could describe our past year of marriage could be TRUST.... it seems that we have learned to trust each other and trust God this year more than ever before. In order to work together... trust must be center.
