For Prayer

We've had some serious news, and we would like to ask you to pray for my (Amy's ) dad. As you know from our last post, he had a diabetic episode recently. This led to some further tests to make sure he was ok. He had been having trouble eating for a while now, problems with phlegm...we won't get into it. The doctor thought he had a sinus infection, but it turns out he has esophageal cancer. We just found out last Friday when he had a biopsy. Please keep him in prayer as we wait to find out more. He did have a catscan on Friday night, and praise the Lord, it doesn't look like the cancer has spread. We're still waiting to hear the results of the biopsy and what sort surgery/chemo/radiation we're looking at. Obviously, this is all very unexpected, but we praise the Lord that He is sovereign and He makes no mistakes. Please pray that we would glorify Him through all of this as we seek to minister to and encourage my mom and dad. This hymn has been especially encouraging to me this week...

"All the way my Savior leads me,
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy
Who through life has been my Guide?
Heavenly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell,
For I know whatever befalls me
Jesus doeth all things well."
