Today was a day of celebration! Mom came back from her appointment with tears of joy running down her face. She found out the results of her MRI of the brain. Dad had no tears, therefore I knew that the news was good because dad usually only cries when it is sad. Mom said, “There were originally nine spots on my head, but the doctor said that seven were gone and two are leaving!!!” We praised the Lord and thanked Him for healing inside even when we couldn’t see anything working. Mom told me, “You NEVER forget what our God can do and has done! He loves us and cares for us and we can’t ever doubt our Mighty savior!”
The Doctor was unable to X-ray her lung because the nurse who does X-ray was sick. He made some changes to the amount of the medication she takes every day. We are praying this lower dose will have a great effect on her tummy and allow her to gain some weight. She will have another brain MRI and a CT of the body on March 14th.
But, today just give glory to God for he has answered the prayers of His warriors!

“You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit.” ~Job 10:12
“Let their flesh be renewed like a child’s; let them be restored as in the days of their youth’— then that person can pray to God and find favor with him, they will see God’s face and shout for joy; he will restore them to full well-being.” ~Job 33:25-26

Praise God… From Streams in Desert today ..
Faith adds its “Amen ” to God’s “Yes” and then takes its hands off, leaving God to finish His work. The language of faith is” commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him and He will do this” Psalms 37:5
We celebrate along side you all …Thank you Jesus Steve and Kathie
