Know that we are still following along and sending prayers your way! Every night as we lay Carson and Piper down to sleep we say prayers with them. Every night for the past few months we have included a special prayer for you and Jason and your family and then comes all of our "Amen." Finally the other night, Carson(3) looked up at me so seriously and said, "Mommy who is Jason & Sue Karrmann?" Greg and I explained to him who you both were and a lil of what you are going through. It brought tears to my eyes when I thought of how hard it was to explain in simple terms what was happening to you. He then asked what your lil girls' names were. And now we pray for Sue and Jason and Mackenzie and Kendall Karrmann. It touched my heart that he understood and actually listened to what we pray for! May God continue to send you strength and encouragement and the same to Jason and the girls! God bless you!

Satan simply will not give up in his war against us. If we defeat him once, he’ll redouble his forces and come right back at us. And suddenly we’re in a spiritual war we thought we’d already won. <br /> <br />Scripture tells us, “The Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him” (2 Samuel 10:17). Suddenly, David was facing the same old enemy—one he thought he had defeated soundly. It is important to note that David was not living in sin at this time. He was a godly man who walked in the fear of the Lord. Yet David was also human—and he must have been awfully confused about what was happening. Why would God allow this enemy to come against him again?<br /> <br />Have you stood in David’s shoes? Have you prayed, “Lord, all I want is to please you—to obey your Word and do what is right. You know that I fast, pray and love your Word. I don’t ever want to grieve you. So why am I being tempted so severely? Why am I facing this same battle with an old enemy?”<br /> <br />“And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom” (2 Samuel 7: 11-12). <br /> <br />In the midst of his confusion and soul-searching, David remembered the promise God had made with him. So while the devil was throwing every weapon in hell at David, the Lord was showing him that even before he entered battle he would emerge a victor. David got his eyes off the oncoming enemy. Instead he basked in the revelation of God’s lovingkindness. This is what God intends for every one of his children when the enemy comes on them like a flood. The Lord “prevents” them with his love. In other words, he comes to them saying, “I promise you are going to come out of this standing. You may be wounded—but that doesn’t matter. I have already made you victorious.”<br /><br />http://davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258723419563128813.post-84304922636731931792009-07-27T06:01:01.560-05:002009-07-27T06:01:01.560-05:00Good luck today on your last day of chemo.

It's truly an amazing process that I love to watch each summer. I thought of you as we set our butterflies free. Very soon you will be setting yours free as you look forward to many more summers of finding caterpillars! Just three more days! You can do it!<br /><br />Love,<br />Michelle E.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258723419563128813.post-54468628147209834922009-07-26T07:55:05.102-05:002009-07-26T07:55:05.102-05:00"I can do all things through Christ who gives..."I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!"

This is a great lesson. Thanks, Sue, for sharing that. I'll take it to heart. <br />Just think: a week from today you'll have said "Goodbye!" to radiation.
