Thankful, yet worried.

Hello friends,

This is a day to remember what the Lord has done for us!  We are grateful for His provision and his mercies and since last year, we have tried to live each day with Thanksgiving. (See this previous post.)

Yet today is a concerning day.  I write this post from a Marriott in Kalamazoo - another day, another hotel.  We came here last night to rest before our family's Thanksgiving dinner today in Gull Lake.  However, Ryan has been having increasingly concerning symptoms, most notably intense pain.  We are not sure why the pain is here.  He has had slight, intermittent pain throughout his whole journey, but not this prolonged and not this severe.  He literally can hardly breathe or move.  We are unsure whether or not this is cancer metastasis, or simply irritation from yesterday's procedure.  We are praying for the latter.  We are also praying for wisdom.

We will keep you posted, but in the meantime - enjoy your Thanksgiving and please pray for us!

Ryan, may the glory of our great God be upon you. May the shadow of his love cover you as he stands over you in this moment. We are crying out to the Healer to intercede for you, Ryan, in your agony. May the shelter of the Most High God surround you as a cocoon of light in this dark place. Love-Never-Fails.

Dear all .. As. Has been you. Will continue to pray for all. Ryan when you came to RC and spoke at our church you said something that Has been Something getting me through the rough times in my life. You said you did not worry about tomorrow, God provides wHat we need today. Not always easy to do but I remember you and your trust in Father. I do not know what Father has in store for you and your family but what I do know is you have taught me a great life lesson that I in turn have shared with others. I thank you.
