Mike continues to do well. Thursday is his next oncology appointment and chemotherapy treatment, so he's gearing himself up for that. In the past week, Mike has talked quite a bit about his next CT scan. His hopes are up high that the tumor will be gone. I know he is getting tired of the treatments and wants to be through with all of this. Please continue to pray for complete healing, and God's peace.

Mike's job may be coming to an end more quickly than first thought. Because of this, Mike has become increasingly anxious about what he's going to do next. He realizes, even if the scan returns in July with the tumor being smaller, or gone; he still has a long road of recovery ahead of him. He would only be able to work part-time for now, until his energy level improved and his pain level decreased.

A part-time position would not only be helpful in paying COBRA health payments, but it would also give Mike someplace to go, to help keep his mind positive. There is a wonderful possibility, of a part-time position, that was presented to Mike last Friday. The company is here in town, and the owners are very understanding about our situation. It couldn't be a better suit for him. We would appreciate your prayers for God's will. We hope to hear something Monday or Tuesday.

Matt (our son) is set up for two job interviews a day apart. For the Northwest Arkansas position, he will be heading to Nashville July 8th, to meet with upper management, more or less as a formality. But this job, would require Matt and his family to move, and they had already begun work on building their "dream" home here in town before Matt was laid off. The ANO interview is July 9th, and this is the job Matt feels would be the better fit for him and his family. We are SO grateful for all of your prayers for Matt passing his test. Please pray for peace for Matt and Jill as they continue to wait on God's will for them. It has been a LONG 9 months...living in a small addition, on our property, with their 22 month old little boy.

Thank you so much for caring for our family and faithfully keeping us in your prayers. Please know every email we receive from you; every hug, kind words, or card of encouragement, has been profound in getting us through all of this. Our hearts are deeply touched and you have been such a blessing to us.

"Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up." Psalm 71:20
