Christen and Debbie are back home after completing the first chemo treatment. Christen is not feeling well this evening, and is very discouraged. She could use a special round of prayer right about now. The reality of what we are going to be doing for the next 10 months is setting in. Feeling absolutely terrible for 10 months is not a pleasant thought.
All the kids had a good time at their respective homes. Thanks to all the families for helping us out.
The next chemo treatment will start the first full week of February. Pray that Christen will be able to recover soon from this round and return to some semblance of normal life before the next treatment.
Today Debbie and I celebrate our 16th anniversary. We give thanks to God for each other and the privilege of journeying together in life.
Steve & Debbie for the family

Praise God that Debbie and Christen are now home. We are praying for you Christen. We love you so much. God will not leave you...He will carry you every inch of the way.
Debbie and Steve, to God be the glory for your marriage! We love you!
Praying here too. Take it one day at a time, Christen. The Lord will give you the strength you need for the road ahead.
Blessings on your anniversary, Debbie and Steve!
Happy Anniversary, Steve and Debbie! What a great anniversary gift - having Christen's first week of chemo under your belt. When the Lord takes you on a journey such as yours, I've found that priorities shift and the simple things of life are really what matters. As your thankfulness quotient goes up, the sense of being overwhelmed diminishes.
In spite of how crummy Christen may feel now, I'm sure it's a good sign. The chemo that is making her sickness so big, is also, by God's grace, making her tumor smaller. We'll just continue to pray that the Lord gives her all she needs to endure and find true joy in the midst of her suffering.
We love you all and not a day goes by that we don't think of you and cry out to God on your behalf.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
God bless,
Kathy : )
