All,
It has been a while since I have checked in and still covet you prayers. I am in California and talked to my wife today about the latest check up. Our neurologist has told her that the MS has progressed to the point where we need to consider going back to the Mayo clinic or some place comparable. In addition to not having strength in her left leg, the disease has spread to her right leg and left arm. We ordered an electric wheel chair a couple of weeks ago. All of this has taken a tremendous financial toll. I have been talking to my former employer and they have assured me that the salary package will be completed this week. They have been saying this for several weeks now. On a side note, my dad will be having open heart surgery in the near future and my mom is scheduled to have a hip replacement in the fall if she can make it that long. I know this sounds like an old country song, but you know what? God is good. He is faithful and in Him will I trust. And even though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Pray for us as we continue in this pruning and refining process. That we recognize where the real battle is being waged and that we will never lose the resolve to honor Him. Even in situations that could take everything that we have and cherish. Thanks again for all of your prayers....John
