For those who have kids at camp with us all I can say is wow! They have seen a real move of God!

The number of Decisions has surpassed 20 and at least 11 of those are for salvation!! 

So yes God is still alive and well and we have a story to tell!

One thing that was said tonight that is really sticking with me is this: if you haven’t given Jesus everything you haven’t given Him anything! Well what have you given Him?

Monday Obituaries

Update on Austin… Monday, July 1 st… Great couple of days!! Over the weekend he was taken off dialysis, had his breathing tube removed AND came off the oxygen. Stats so good he was able to get out of ICU on Sunday afternoon and got a regular room ( yay!). No limit to the number of visitors so we don’t have to hide Blair behind the curtain LOL. He continues to respond well to the chemo. Started round 2 today. Hasn’t eaten yet since this whole ordeal started but getting his nutrients from a bag. Still has all his hair, not due to fall out for another week maybe. Fighting minor little things but other than that doing great. Will probably be here through next weekend then hopefully have a week off before round 3 starts. Thank you all so very much for all of the thoughts , prayers, goodies, posters, and inspirational words. We are truly blessed beyond comprehension. Please continue to pray as we take one day at a time.

Thanking God for this good report.

Monday Addition

From JoEllen Carruth

So very thankful right now. Daryl (Carruth) fell … while working on some hay equipment and really hurt his hip. Just left hospital and it is not broken just really bad bruise. Hay season is always full of injuries in our parish so you guys need to be careful.

Mrs. Susie Wales

Thanks for all the prayers and support during Mom’s recent return to the hospital. The doctor was able to put her hip back in place with quick success. She is in a special hip brace that gives added support to the hip and knee. She is on limited weight bearing with her right hip, having to walk on her right toes and use the walker to carry her weight on that side. She is to continue this for a minimum of six(6) weeks. Home health therapy will be every day for most of that time. She is back with Kathy and I until the doctors tell her she can return to normal walking and no brace, 3 to 6 months. Continue to pray for her healing, recovery and her attitude as she has to put up with us and our crazy schedule this summer. Her motto is “fight, fight, fight.” She is determined to make it through this.
In Christ,
Chris

Sunday

(In honor of those from Spring Creek who trusted God with their lives last night! –

The best message a mama can get is when her child tells her that she just got saved tonight at church camp.)

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person.

The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”

~2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT~

We are thankful for the rain, almost two inches, we received Saturday afternoon.  God’s timing is always right!

Friday Updates

Prayers for Eli – Check his facebook page.  Prayers are in order.

Denise LaBarbera Rose – Update on her son, Austin, who turns 17 today:
Update on Austin DAY 6… Well a lot has happened in the past few days. He started his chemo and is responding tremendously well, cancer cells being killed left and right – praise you LORD! His kidneys are great ( still on dialysis). But a couple of days ago he started being non responsive and was having inexplainable violent outbursts. It took 8 nurses to contain him ( MY BOY IS STRONG!!!). Went for immediate CT SCAN. Thankfully it showed nothing. So switched his pain meds. Next day same thing. Did an EEG ( no seizures or stroke) then a contrast MRI last night. Anxiously waited and got good news this morning… His brain is normal ( those of you that know him may disagree LOL) but found nothing that would be causing the reaction. Checking spinal fluid for infection but tending toward the conclusion that it was reaction to the steroids called steroid psychosis( which is rare at this dose level) but treatable and will go away. Sedated through the night and today for chemo. now waiting for him to wake up and hopefully be himself. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET DARLIN.

Pray for Austin and his family to be able to celebrate his birthday before this day is over.
