“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” (Philippians 2:10).


Just an update on my Mom and Step-Dad (Ruby and Aubrey Stokes). Mr. Aubrey should be coming home today and my Mom will be there in the hospital (per the doctor) untill at the least Monday, she is some better but still has a way to go to get back on her feet, thank God and thanks to you all for your prayers and please continue to pray for them and our family as we try to get them to adjust to having help instead of them trying to do everything by themselves.

Don had MRI of brain and spine today. He will have lumbar puncture tomorrow. He is doing OK. He really wants to be done with this. As anyone would be.

He is feeling OK. Still dizzy. The good news is that they are bringing specialist in the area of dizziness. And they are wanting to ge to the bottom of this as well. The doctors are suggesting that Don possibly stay a little longer.

We will have more answers tomorrow in the direction they want to go in. Joshua is doing well. The family we are staying with is amazing!. Ann and Frank are a gift from God to us. Joshua loves Ann and has bonded with her. Ann has some grandaughters about Josh’s age and that makes it special for him too.

We, Joshua, Don and I are so tired of the hospital. Yet, we have this very peaceful place to come and rest our heads. We are so blessed!

I will keep you posted as we hear more of what the doctors have to say.

YOU MIGHT ASK, “Why does God need to test us…?
Doesn’t He know everything, including what we would do in every situation?”  Yes, God knows–but we don’t!  God doesn’t test us in order to find out something He doesn’t already know.  He tests us so that we can learn about ourselves and His love, power and faithfulness.
In Genesis 22, God tested Abraham by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac on a mountain in the land of Moriah.  Isaac was Abraham’s only son by his wife, Sarah–the son God had promised to Abraham.  By demanding that Isaac be sacrificed, God seemed to be nullifying His covenant of making a great nation out of Abraham.  How could God’s promise be fulfilled if Isaac was dead?
God tested Abraham to reveal whether or not Abraham truly trusted His promise.  Yes, God knew what Abraham would do, but He wanted Abraham to know as well.  So God put Abraham to the test–and Abraham passed it.  As Abraham r
aised his knife to sacrifice his own son, God stopped him and provided a sacrificial ram instead.
Every test involves obedience in one way or another.  When God tests us, He reveals the true state of our hearts.  (Os Hillman)

“Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my mind and my heart” (Psalm 26:2).
