BIG "Mo"


That's abrreviated for BIG "Momentum". We are gaining strength and momentum for the final 6 months of chemo. In the last few days we've seen a new and improved Jordan. His heart and determination have been relentless. He is even more passionate about life and bringing the "spunk" to the party. A couple of nights ago itunes was playing a watoto children's choir song (cast your burden...and be lifted higher, higher). Without prompt or cue, all four of the children were singing along with the music while holding hands doing a circle dance together. The sheer joy and exhileration of being home together and knowing that Jordan was on the mend, back to working on his dance moves; it had inspired them to a special display of sibling unity. I happened to walk in on it and quickly snapped a picture of the moment as a reminder of how the LORD can turn bad to good and answer the many prayers spoken for healing. Present prayer concern is for the new "insurance" chemo round starting Monday.
"Cast your burden on the LORD and He shall sustain you" Psalm 55:22

Nice to see the wonderful pictures on Jordans continued recovery. Hope all is well with Brent. The Lord has been teaching me a lot about His place in this fragile human life, a constant reminder that we are in the world but not for the world. I remember you as a family with a passion for Kenya-please pray for that fragile nation.
