Our pastor shared a great message today and highlighted the verse: "Without faith it is impossible to please God"
(Hebrews 11:6a). This verse is written in the context of Noah building the ark, and testifies to his faithfulness to save God's 'planet earth project' from the coming flood. As we attempt to find favor or "please" God in the midst of Jordan's cancer, the thought of faith & prayer has been a constant. We are so helpless and vulnerable right now concerning Jordan's health and future (perhaps the most we may ever be during our lifetime?); so many uncertainties concerning his medicine(s), pain, medical opinion, tumor size, etc. Though I am not always as faithful to pray as I ought to be, I know that prayer has been a tremendous and sustaining force to the well-being of our family and Jordan. We are grateful to all of those who continue to place the Busby's on their prayer list. And I guess that is why I am posting this blog tonight...to again solicit more prayers from the body. Honestly, I must admit that I feel a little uncomfortable, continuously asking for prayer support; especially when it has been awhile since receiving favorable news for Jordan. Regardless of my feelings though, I believe I need to be faithful in requesting prayer again from the church body. We are scheduled for scans this coming Wednesday. Please join in prayer and/or fasting if God so prompts your heart. If you wish, all are welcome to attend a special time of prayer after Wednesday night service at our church- 8:30ish (Calvary Fellowship/Mountlake Terrace). "God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6b).

To all the Busby family, you do not need to feel uncomfortable asking for prayer. Prayer is a lifeline, right? If you were in the sea with waves surrounding you, would you feel uncomfortable asking someone in a boat to pass down a rope and a lifejacket? Just a thought. Our God is looking after you, and as his body, we are here to support you all - some through deeds, others through prayer and friendship. Sending continuous love and prayers your way.

You have loads of prayers coming in from Carin's random friend in DC. We think of you constantly and pray every night not only for Jordan but your whole family.
pray without ceasing...we are told. And in the midst of very specific prayers, we also add "thy will be done" just to help us remember that, even though it all feels so unfair to have Jordon, Ben, and all those other babies suffer, it is God who has the big picture in mind. When we prayed without ceasing for our child with cancer, many questioned God's existence when the so many very honest and consistent specific prayers did not seem to be answered. One day, we will understand it all. My prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for sharing your painful journey with so many!
We are praying! We love you all so much!

We continue to lift Jordan and your family in prayer every day. We're glad we got to be hospital roommates and get to know you guys more. Jenna loves her fish Jordan and feeds him faithfully. Please call if you have ANY surgery questions.
Love,
Michele, Chris, Jenna, and Braden Westerholm

ps -- i'm praying for jordan too!
We've got the Bubsy's heavy on our hearts and minds today. Jordan is imprinted on my brain this morning and we'll be praying for the scans. God is with you. He will never leave you no matter what. Basic stuff I know, but when things suck for me that's one of the core truths I cling to. We are not alone. Ever.
We love you guys and are here for you.
Katy and Scott
