Thursday, September 11th 2:00AM Update

Thank-you everyone for all your comments and prayers, I love you for them. I will be off to the hospital in the next few hours I will cherish your words over the next couple of days.

Cancer is not an easy word, especially when you Love what God has given you on this earth; Like my hubby (the love of my life), Chris, Tiff, the grand kids (Mackenzie/Cole/Brady and my new grandson, who I look forward to holding in a couple of weeks), Darryl, Brad, and all my friends.

I wanted to share with you that I am at peace with surgery and whatever the next steps are. All the love and prayers sure are making this a lot easier. Please pray for my family to have strength and courage.

Jocelyn

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own.Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.

Hey J & J,
It's Thursday afternoon and we're praying and waiting! It's God who guides the surgeon's hands and that's a comfort!

Hey John & Jocelyn and family,
i;ve been praying for you guys constantly today, I'm anxious to hear how the surgery went, yet i know that God is holding you in His hands. You are in my thoughts.

Psalm 37:5- "Commit your way to the Lord (roll and repose each care of your load on Him); trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass."

Hi Jocelyn. I'm a friend of Tina VanDyk's. Tina sent me an email yesterday when you were going into surgery. I was moved by the bible passage you quoted from Proverbs. It is so appropriate to my life right now!
I pray that your recovery goes well, and that you may feel God's power healing you, and giving you and your family and friends peace.

Proverbs 3:5,6: What a beautiful promise to hold onto as you anticipated surgery. The above verses paraphrased by Eugene Peterson in The Message say it so well. They are jam-packed and filled with tiny morsels to feed on. May our Heavenly Father lead you by the hand and heal you as you recover from surgery. The words of the well-known hymn, The Solid Rock, remind us that our hope is in Him alone.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

Jocelyn and John, we continue to keep you in our prayers.
