You Stepped Down Into Darkness

Give Me Jesus, Jeremy Camp

Matthew 1:18-25 ESV 

Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

Jesus, the light of the world, stepped down into darkness over 2000 years ago to give us freedom from the sin that binds us to this world. He is lovely, wonderful and our hope in this dark and dreary world.

Happy Birthday Jesus Christ!!

Merry CHRISTmas my blogging friends! Hoping and praying this will be a day filled with worship and joy, glad tidings, family and peace. But even if this is a day filled with loneliness, confusion and sadness, I pray you will feel the peace that only Jesus Christ can bring, one of hope for life eternal away from the misery of this world.

Matthew 2:11 ESV 

And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

Merry CHRISTmas!

Merry Christmas & Update

A belated Merry Christmas to all!! I have been out of town visiting family and did not have internet access and blogging on my phone, well that just doesn't work with me. I hope you all had an amazing Christmas time celebrating the birth of our Savior. 

I have an update on Wayne. The news is as follows...

The news we received today was not as we had hoped.  During the biopsy the doctors found that the cancer has spread into the lymph nodes and has spread throughout the lymphatic system.  It has now been designated as a Stage 3B cancer.  Because of this, they did not proceed with the surgery to remove the mass.  With this news, we will now move to a Plan B.   We will be meeting with the medical oncologist and will begin a regiment of chemo and radiation.  

We continue to glorify God through it all and know that this is not a surprise to Him.  We don't know the reasons, the whys, or the hows.  We know that we are right in the  middle of His plan.  We pray for God to be glorified through all of this and know that He is still in the business of making miracles, and is the Great Physician.

We covet your continued prayers for what lies ahead.

 

Please continue to pray for Wayne as he continues into this next stage on this journey.


Matthew 11:28-30 NIV

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Blessings,
