UPDATE on Brother John-MONDAY

Please continue to keep John in your prayers.

His doctor gave me an update this morning, Monday, 02/17/2014. John has developed bleeding in his stomach now. Due to an intestinal blockage and other factors, he cannot eat and may have a feeding tube inserted, or receive nutrients from an IV.

 His foot condition has worsened, and the doctor mentioned that it even  might have to be amputated. His lung condition has improved somewhat.

However, the doctor admitted that John is now in critical condition.

As you can imagine, to hear this about someone you love is quite devastating.

But not nearly as much for me as it is for John, who has to go through all of this.

Please continue to keep both of us in your prayers. In the midst of this crisis and deep sadness, I continue to praise God and worship Him in everything. He is there for us when the sorrows of life come. And His Son Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us.

Last night, I took out my musical instrument called an autoharp, and began to worship and praise God,even through tears and sorrow for my brother and what he is suffering. The Bible tells us God dwells in the praises of His people. And He does!

And so I invited His holy presence into the place where I was staying last night, and we enjoyed worshiping God that evening.

Remember to praise God continually throughout every crisis you are going through. For this is how you welcome His Presence into your crisis, and He is able to help bring you through it triumphantly.

God bless you all. And thank you for your "Happy Birthday" wishes and your prayers.
