Oct.28th

Exciting day – Brad coming home! Can’t wait to hear his stories and see his films.

Yesterday we met with the surgeon – all looks good! The MRI that was done last week was just to show a baseline of how things looked after the surgery. You just hope and pray that the radiation did it’s job to kill any floating cells.

I’m reading a devotional book given to me by Mike & Jess called “Prayers and Promises” and they talk about the amazing grace you get when you need it. The person writing is facing a life-threatening illness. He says if you think about facing a bad report – you say, NO, can't handle it. Do you need the grace to face another bad report from the doctor – YES! So where is the grace? The ram is already coming up the other side of the mountain. (The book talks previously about when Abraham and Isaac went up to the mountain and Abraham thought he had to sacrifice his son (Gen. 22:2) and suddenly a ram appeared to sacrifice instead.) God’s grace is already on the way. And he will provide that grace at the right moment. How comforting is that! So we pray for all of us dealing with different issues that you and I will have grace for today! GRACE IS AMAZING!

John & I are looking forward to getting away a little in November. One week for business and one just to relax. Will have to see where we fit that in yet – with Rose City Kids, Promise Keepers (we volunteer in the bookstore) , some appointments, etc. But we’ll try to make it happen.
Pray for Rose City Kids and the opportunities to maybe purchase a future home for Rose City Kids. All in God's timing!
