Good news!



God is GOOD!

So much has occured since our last entry:

1--Roy had trouble with his kidneys shutting down. It was very serious and he was NOT doing well. A couple things came into play: the doctor adjusted his medications & sent him to a kidney specialist AND I asked for family and friends to pray. Praise the Lord! Yesterday, the kidney specialist reported that all the test and ultrasounds show everything is normal, some of his test results are even better than normal!!!!!! Roy is going to start insulin therapy for diabetes very soon. Due to the kidney issue, his sugar numbers have been high and all over the charts--not good-- and he doesn't feel well because of it. Now that God touched his kidneys, the doctor is addressing this. We are glad!!!! GOD IS GOOD!

2--I injuried my knee while working at the Y. An MRI showed no damage but there is A LOT of pain. So I am doing physical therapy and take medicines. The doctor does not want to do surgery yet so please pray for me--it is very painful. And I miss working at the Y.

3--I have gotten a part-time teller job at US Bank. Monday thru Friday 10:30 -- 2:30. Just started yesterday. I think it will be okay. More on that later.

4--ERIC AND LENISE ARE COMING FOR CHRISTMAS!!!! I am beyond excited and have started counting the days!!!!! (40) YEEEEEHHAAAW!

5--Finally, I am requesting prayer for our good friends, Keith and Kay Zimmerman. (That is a picture of the four of us!) Keith has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. He has started radiation treatments for 3 weeks followed by chemotherapy immediately there after. They plan to attack it agressively. Please pray for Keith and Kay, their kids and families, that God will hold them tightly as they walk this path together and with Him.

BLESSINGS!!!

Great pic of you four! Prayers have been going going going for Keith! He's always so nice to me and always has a smile on his face. God give him strength to get through these days, for Kay too. Praying for you two as well.
Cool that Eric and his sweetie are coming home for Christmas. Sarah said they may not. I'm very sad because Guy will be heading to Japan in March...She and Ryan will go in June or July...Plenty of time for this GG to visit...they are a happy and blessed family!
hugs to you my friend
