In September of 2009, Tim was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in the blood. Our prayer is that we will display God's sufficient grace throughout our test of faith. We have come to a deeper understanding of II Corinthians 12:9a which says, "...My grace is sufficient for thee; for My strength is made perfect in weakness..."

Good News!

This morning, we met with the doctor who is overseeing Tim's transplant and he informed us that the stem cells that were collected last week are okay - there is no infection and no need to go through another collection process. Praise the Lord for that! So, we are all set to proceed with the plan. Monday morning, June 7, Tim will receive his first round of high dose chemo and then another round on Tuesday. He should begin to feel the side effects of the chemo by the end of next week. This Sunday, June 6, is his last day to preach at CBC for a while. It should be a pretty emotional service for all of us!

The kids are having a blast in Pennsylvania! They have been very active this week and full of stories about what they have been doing. Mom and Dad have enjoyed our quiet time, but we are ready to have some noise back in the house. Stacie will be driving to meet Sheryl at a half way point tomorrow to pick up the kids. I'm sure Grandma Zac and Aunt Sheryl will return home and sleep for the next week!!!
