Today we had enjoyable visits with Dawn, Larry and Ellen, Scot, Mark and Julie and their kids, Darlene, and Bob and Jane.Pat loaned us the company wireless/cellular internet card to use while we are on travel. Thanks Pat, that will be a big help! Kathy, Patty, and Mary Ann all loaned videos, and Kathy also loaned a portable DVD player. Thank you all!
The picture to the right is one I took today of Christen (left) and her younger sister Hannah.
E-mails, blog posts, phone calls etc. continue to come in at an amazing pace. We are so thankful for each and every one of them. We see the love of Jesus through you guys! It is so encouraging to hear from you. How can we thank you enough? How can we thank God enough? We simply cannot.
Tomorrow afternoon we leave for Philadelphia, and we hope to stay at the Ronald McDonald House.
Here are some specific prayer requests.
1) Pray that the tumor is benign.
2) That we will get a firm diagnosis this week.
3) For our hearts to be calm throughout.
4) For the other 7 children that we leave at home. Our youngest, William, is 5. He doesn't understand all of this. Please pray for his little heart to trust Jesus while his family is apart.
5) That Debbie and I will be wise as we will likely have to make some very important decisions.
6) For wisdom and skill for the doctor.
7) That we will see Jesus in all of this, and that He will be glorified!!
Steve, Debbie, and the family

Dear Steve and Debbie,
It is so uplifting to see the body of Christ loving your family. We are praying and praying for Christen, as well as everyone else. It is wonderful that so many people and family members have come over to show their love and support.
Christen, we are praying for you that your tumor will be benign. We are also praying for all of your caretakers, and that you will feel the peace and comfort of the Holy Spirit. We love you, Christen.

Dear Steve, Debbie, Christen, and family,
We are thinking of you and praying for you.
Psalm 91 is comforting and I like the visual imagery, "The Lord will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you may seek refuge".
It was a blessing to see you and hug you. We love you.

Hey guys,
We're praying for you all.
Oh yeah, make sure you get a lollipop from the doctor's office Christen (because sometimes they try to be all sneaky and not give you one) :)
Dear family,
We love you and are praying for you. We are going to have Christen put in our church prayer list at the Campus Church. Anna's seventh grade girls Sunday school class is already praying. We hope to see you all this coming summer.
