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..."

Friday, June 11

There is not much news tonight: Tim received an IV drip today to make sure that he stays hydrated. He will receive this IV everyday for the next 2 weeks. He is experiencing severe fatigue and loss of taste, which makes it hard for him to eat.

There is more of the same on the schedule for tomorrow - a visit to the hospital that lasts 4-6 hours to receive fluids and be monitored...then home to rest and sleep. Stacie's dad will go with Tim tomorrow so that Stacie can stay with the kids and get caught up on a few things at home. Aunt Fran (a brave lady in our church) came and took all four of the kids out today for an afternoon of miniture golf and Dairy Queen and gave Grandma and Grandpa Ashmore some quiet time. They had a blast and love Aunt Fran!

We have officially hired Matt Fitch to be our assistant pastor, so Matt and Julie are here this weekend to search for a place to live. They will be moving to Connecticut the first of August to begin serving at CBC. We are so thrilled that God led us together and are looking forward to having them as a part of our CBC family. Matt will be preaching on Sunday in Tim's place.
