How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? (1 Thessalonians 3:9)
On this thankful Thursday I want to first thank God for all of you that held us up in prayer as we traveled to St. Jude for Jordan’s scans and six month progress evaluation. Hallelujah, we came home with a great report and we are over-joyed.
Now how do you spell RELIEF? The words,
“No evidence of progression or metastatic disease”
on your child’s MRI report is exactly how it is spelled to me!
♥I’m also grateful for the friendships we share with so many other St. Jude moms’. We had a great time catching up with Mark and Mylissa who are the founders of “Habitat for Hope”. God is using this couple in a big way as they serve so many needy families in crisis during their stay at St. Jude.
♥I’m so grateful for Dawn who took a day off to sit with us on Monday. Dawn lost her son Shae 7 years ago. What a friend she has become to us! We had such a nice time hanging out.
♥I’m grateful for the new friendship we made with another family going through the same things we have endured with Jordan. Please keep their little daughter Kate (four years old) in your prayers as she is facing another brain surgery very soon.
"Jordan and Kate"♥I’m grateful for my husband who kept the house afloat and took care of Joel (my youngest) while I was gone. He also got my middle son Joseph off to the airport to catch a plane headed for Taiwan, where he will start his new job as an English teacher. Please keep Joseph in prayer. I’m thankful for what God is doing in his life, but I’m already missing him, and he just left yesterday!
♥And finally, I’m so grateful that Jordan did fantastic with his fasting and the way he endured all of the tests he had to go through. He’s a real trooper and a joy in my life. It’s a grueling schedule packed into two short days, but Jordan kept smiling…at least he did most of the time.

Welcome home, I hope you can rest easy (at least as far as Jordan is concerned). It sounds like your boys are keeping life interesting!
Praising God with You!!!
