Hi! Well, in 3 more days we'll be done with week 3 of Radiation and Chemo. We don't know what else to say...except, PRAISE GOD! Cyrus is doing well...no side effects. We are amazed at the grace that God is pouring out upon Cyrus as he goes through his treatment. Thank you all for your faithfulness to remember us and lift us up in prayer.
We had a nice Labor Day weekend. We got to spend time with friends, enjoy the cooling weather, and watch the Boise Balloon Classic. We are enjoying life more these days...doing the things we might normally put off, enjoying time with friends and family, and cherishing every day together.
This morning we got to go with Jackson to his first day at pre-school. Cyrus and Jack got to sit together for the story and singing. Jackson had a great time...and made lots of new friends. It was such a blessing to see him enjoying himself and learning new things. We're getting ready to celebrate his 4th Birthday on Sept. 22.
Prayer Requests:
•Please pray for our friends the Lasaters. Stephanie, wife and mother of 3, a good friend of ours, has breast cancer and is in the midst of chemo treatments. Please pray for the Lord to surround them with the support they need and to fill their hearts with hope, joy and peace.
•Please pray for another young mother named Brenda who is struggling with Lymphoma. She was in remission, and now it is back, and she is starting another aggressive round of treatments. Please pray for her and her three little ones, and her husband as they walk through this.
•Please pray for my brother, Adam. He passed out after a hike in the Sawtooths, and shattered his jaw. He is not able to eat solid foods for 2 months, and there is no Dr. in the Sun Valley area who can do the surgery he needs to have his jaw repaired. Please pray for financial provision and a Dr. who can perform the surgery.
•Please pray for continued grace during Cy's treatments.
•Please pray for Vanessa and her family as they pack up and move to Boise in the next couple of weeks. Also, please pray for Lindsey as she moves back next weekend.
•PRAISE THE LORD AND THANK HIM WITH US! HE IS A LOVING GOD, WHO GIVES GOOD GIFTS TO HIS CHILDREN!
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." ~ Hebrews 12:1-2
Oh sweet Jonie!
