A New Day

It was a rough night for Jordan. Lots of poking and
prodding (tough love I guess). After a little go
round with the nurses we were able to convince them to
leave him be for some rest. They adhered and Jordan
was finally able to get a little rest before his
surgical procedure today. To be most blunt about how
Becky and I are coping, it was a rough night for us
too- probably our worst, relationally speaking. This
whole thing has caused us to be on the same page and
we had a moment that we were not even reading the same
book! Our only choice is to continually be taking
this "cancerous burden" to the
guess). Tomorrow Jordan will begin his chemo
"rounds" and that is a starting point for us because,
hopefullly in short time, we should begin to see
tangible results of the tumor shrinking. Our dear
friend Val shared with us a word from the LORD
(Isaiah 43:1-3). These verses have helped us to keep
us focused on Him. We have seen a miraculous
demonstration of God's love through family, friends
and the church body in action. We love you!

Perhaps you remember us from awhile back, or at least Brooke. Its been a long time. We just wanted you to know we are praying for you and little Jordan. We are so thankful for the goodnews of treatment and will pray for the tumor to shrink quickly. We are also praying for the two of you as you face this difficult time. Keep holding hands and keep your eyes on Jesus! Bless you...Brooke and Jen Payne (friends of John and Andria)
