“In the same way the Spirit also joins to help in our weakness,

Austin Rose  – Life has changed so much for this family in just a few days.  Isn’t it comforting to know God hasn’t changed?

Update on Austin … He had surgery this morning to put in a temporary vascular catheter. Used it to start dialysis tonight. Tomorrow he starts a week long chemo treatment followed by another week of more intense chemo. He then gets a week break before next round. If he is doing well he may get to go home for a few days. One day at a time though. Steve and I are absolutely amazed and in awe of how many prayers are being said for him. We have a tough journey ahead so please keep praying for a complete healing. And in my prayers I will thank GOD for each one of you!!

VBS at Mt. Nebo – Tuesday night the y had 90 children and 133 total in attendance.  Praise the Lord!
