Day 14 of February 28th Treatment

A Praise
Matt (our son) got a job, and not only that, but it was the job he really wanted! His first day was yesterday. It is a Project Manager position for a large company about 75 miles from home. It's a commute, but one he is already use to driving. We're so grateful to God for healing this part of our life, and allowing Matt and Jill to continue on with their dream of building their house. Thank you for being a part of this prayer effort.

Prayer Request
A typical day for Mike since his last treatment, has been with him being weak and winded. He usually does better if he can lay down one to two times a day. He's also experiencing body aches and pain, often needing something to help control it.

The largest struggle this week for Mike has been emotional. I think that is because he hurts all the time and can't see any end in sight. He's frustrated that he can't do simple tasks, without becoming extremely exhausted, and he is limited as to what he can do to try and take his mind off of his health. And, this week we have had a string of bad luck, with many things breaking down on us. That has created one melt down for Mike after another. I have been a little at loss of what to do to help. I can "fix" some things...like saving him extra steps when he's forgotten something, but when it comes to "fixing stuff", I'm useless.

Please continue to pray for Mike and I to have strength in dealing with all of this, and please pray for Mike to be encouraged, that God has a perfect plan, and that He is in control...even though things feel out of control at times to us. Also, Mike is showing a little anxiety about getting the next scan done, fearing the results won't be what he's hoping for. Please pray for Mike to feel peace about this and will keep hopeful.

Thank you for praying diligently for us and for your encouragement. You could never know how important it is, to not feel alone in all of this. Hearing from you is like a lifeline.

You'll Never Walk Alone
"When you walk through a storm, Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark, At the end of a storm,
there's a golden sky, And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown...
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,You'll never walk alone...
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,You'll never walk alone..." By: Oscar Hammerstein
