We received some discouraging news from the doctor today. Jerry's blood platelets have dropped some more. The doctor is worried that the leukemia blasts are coming back. Our oncologist here in Greenville is going to call the doctor at Duke and see if he should go ahead and do a bone marrow biopsy before they do any more chemo or if they should try another kind of chemotherapy. We believe they are doing everything possible for Jerry to receive the transplant.
We're wanting to live each day a life of faith and victory.
We are encouraged by something we read by Jack Trieber, Pastor of North Valley Baptist Church:
In fact, our circumstances at times seem as bleak as when the children of Israel were met with the obstacle of the Red Sea. As you know, the Red Sea lay before them, appearing impossible to cross; and the children of Israel were trapped. Even as the Egyptians were bearing down on them, God performed a miracle. Even when the future seems bleak, as it undoubtedly seemed to the Israelites thousands of years ago, remember that we may continue to hope and trust in our Lord.
“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."
(Romans 8:37)

As you know, this trial of your faith did not take God by surprise. When He planned it for you, His focus was on you. His desire is that your focus will continually be on Him, trusting Him as a little child trusts his earthly father. You are daily in our prayers.
