Christen is still at UVA recovering from her last dose of chemotherapy. Hopefully she will come home today. Please pray that God would give her the strength to endure as the length of this trial is getting more and more difficult. It is hard to imagine what it must be like for her. We know that God gives strength, so that is our prayer for her right now.
Christen's most recent x-ray of her knee and femur showed no tumor recurrence, for which we are extremely grateful to God. Please continue to pray that the cancer will not return, and that we will all have wisdom in making decisions regarding the remaining part of her treatment.

"Trail produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character hope. And hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom He has given us." Rom. 5:4,5
May He give you hope in Him today! We are praying for you all!
I know you don't know me, but I am a friend of Carla Penner - Jeff's mother-in-law. Your posting remined me of this scripture from Romans 5:3b-5:
...Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
You have probably quoted these verses somewhere in your writings, but it never hurts to hear them again. So, persevere,dear Christen.
Blessings to all,
Linda Estes

We praise God for this good report regarding Christen's leg x-ray. And we continue to pray that God's amazing Grace would continue to sustain you and bring new life to every part of your bodies, spirits, and souls. This is indeed the trial of a lifetime and we trust that God would continue to reveal to you His perfect love and indescribable power. You are not alone...Hugs and prayers. Bob and Anne Daknis
