Greetings Dear Friends,
Just a quick update on Mama; her pre-op appointments went well today and she was especially aware of and thankful for prayers. We will most likely check in for surgery early tomorrow morning. Besides prayer requests for safety, our earnest desire is that we would represent Christ well and be a light for His name, that we would be a witness to His faithfulness and through His Spirit bring encouragement to others. The boys and Daddy have kept a prayer vigil in the middle of the night for Mama that has been a blessing for all of us.  We have a firm assurance in God’s sovereignty and yet are continually more and more convinced of the effectiveness of prayer (Ja. 5:16) because it pleases Him (Pr.15:8). 
He came near when we called on Him; He said, “Do not fear.” (Lam. 3:57)
I will try to update you tomorrow night or the next. We are so thankful for all your prayers and your continued faithful acts of kindness; we are strengthened for this task by your love! May you all have a blessed evening! 

A treasured verse a good friend recently shared with us: 
“But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.”
Psalm 5:11-12
