GOOD NEWS...Fungus clearing

Hi Friends,

That's right! My recent CAT scan and MRI showed that the fungus in the lungs was clearing up and the swelling in the Brain Dura was significately improved. I imagine another month and Mrs. Huckleberry's prophesy will be comfirmed as the Cancer is in remission and the fungus will be completely gone from my body (March will be 6 months from the time Mrs. Huckleberry prayed that in 6 months you will be healed). This is a new experience for me of God's speaking into our situation. At the time the words and prayer was very comforting, yet now it stretches my faith and brings me joy. So praise God with us for His glorious, gracious, and healing work in our lives!!! (Picture is of Andrew on his 9th birthday - January 7, 2008)

What's next? That is the question I am now seeking God's direction on. Continuing the chemo treatments while in remission is the doctors recommendation. I'm not afraid or unwilling to complete the treatments. My posture has been to take their advice unless the Lord makes it clear that I should not. Gabriela has asked me to not do anything until God makes clear which way to go and not to do anything until that happens. I am still unsure of the posture to take and figure God will direct. It's not like He doesn't have an opinion or wouldn't want me to know, but He may want me to grow in my understanding or faith in some way. So I am waiting and listening the best I know how.

This week Gabriela and I have been asked to speak at a Marriage Event on Valentine's Day. We are speaking on the topic of Trusting God in Marriage. This will be a first for us and I am excited to have this opportunity to expand our ministry experience and I pray, minister to couples. I guess we are entering the years where we have enough life experience to have something to share. Pray for our success in ministering to couples by encouraging them to trust God personally, together as a couple, and for oneanother when one's trust wavers. Pray also that we would be healthy (Gabriela has walking pneumona), and protected from the evil one's scemes - we would see them and counter them. His blessings to you.

In my next blog entry, I'll update you on how our time went. I hope you know how your prayers have shore us up these past 8 months. It's a very new experience to sense the spiritual support - I can't explain it yet. It's as if we have been surrounded by a heavenly host. I must keep intercessory prayer central in my life. It has power, influence, and brings God's peace to those prayed for. Thank you. I am learning and seeing God in so many new ways...

We love you,

Kelly
