Christopher’s dad, Mike, is in the hospital again this week. He has been diagnosed with Leukemia and has made such strides in his treatments. He has made it through the rounds of chemo, many doctor visits, shots and so much more. He has been given the word that his body is cancer free at this time ( J!!!) though he still needs to go through his last big hurdle. He completed his bone marrow transplant last weekend. He spiked a neutropenic fever this week (no immune system to fight off whatever comes along so he may have gotten something…). He is in the hospital, with his faithful wife right by his side (& precious daughter and caring son-in-law there to help at each step), spirits up and looking forward to this milestone being passed.
His bone marrow acceptance and healing journey should take about a 100 days; we are praising God for that light at the end of the tunnel. I pray that God reveals to Mike how much He loves Him and has a purpose for his life.
Please pray for him with us.
In Jesus love,
Donna J
As I was seeking for a verse in the Bible to pray for Mike I found these in Proverbs 3:5-10 (The Message Bible - it translated into "today's lingo") and is just struck my heart. I wonder if you see the same encouraging words jumping out at you that I did...
5-10 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.
Don't assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!
