Waiting Still

Just to update everyone..........

Mike called the oncology office at 11:00 a.m. this morning and a message was left with Teresa, the head nurse, to return his call. Mike finally heard back from her around 4 p.m., but she didn't have the results in the Russellville office, so she needed to call LR and check. Well, we never heard anything more today. Mike, of course, was upset and emotionally drained. Thankfully, our family (minus Zac, because he had to work) gathered together for dinner. It helped just being together and laughing at the grandkids.

Waiting can be the hardest with all of this. It's looking more like we won't be told anything until our Thursday morning appointment with Dr. Sneed. We will continue to place our trust in our heavenly Father, knowing this is all within His control.

To update you on Matt, Jill and Drew....Matt and Jill spent last weekend out of state considering the job transfer. They wanted to be obedient if God was leading them elsewhere. After trusting Him for discernment and wisdom, they made the decision to remain in Arkansas and trust God to provide another job. I know I don't have to say what that decision meant to Mike and I.

With so much hitting our family the past 10 months (Mike's diagnosis, the loss of my father, Amber's health scare, and Matt's job losses), it has almost felt at times, too much to bear. But God has met us at each turn in the road and has reminded us of His peace and His presence. Our family draws strength from one another, and our faith is firmly rooted, believing that our God is Sovereign and Faithful. He will continue to lead us through this storm.

If we should hear anything, of course, we will post. Thank you so much for all of your love, support and prayers.
