Sorry that I have been away...

Sorry for the big gap in posts. Here is the update: We spent last week at Hilton Head as a family and had a great time with wonderful weather and a very relaxing time! It is truly a expression of God's grace to be sitting by the ocean, with the family all around and Jenny feeling well.  Because of the vacation, Jenny got to skip a week of Chemo, which was a great break. This week, I had to go out of town for a couple of days and Jenny's sister. Maria was here to take her to the infusion center.

After that infusion as well as the last dose a few weeks ago, Jenny was hit with some pretty strong nausea, which had not happened with any of the previous sessions. So, please pray that her system would allow the chemo to work without making her get sick.
We just finished cleaning-up from Grace's (our daughter) high school graduation party, where we had about 50 of her friends over for Jones Soda, Pizza, and Homemade Pies. It was a wonderful time of sharing how Grace's friendship has impacted those around her, and sharing in this rite of passage. The picture below is Jenny with some of her girl friends at the party:

Maria is getting ready for the cross country bike race and was out training this morning right after the sun came up. Continue to pray for her as she prepared for this massive undertaking - there has been a facebook page set-up for those that want to pray for Maria as she rides - https://www.facebook.com/groups/371043566340255/ so that you can stay involved the whole way across america.

  2. The power of corporate prayer does amazing things. God will use it all for his glory and for Jenny's physical healing. Stay strong in the Lord. I am praying for ongoing grace, mercy and the joy of the Lord to be your strength.
    Much love to all of you. Lisa

  3. Dear Jenny, You are in my prayers each and every day. We just celebrated Caroline's college graduation and my folks were here with us. They always ask about you and they have their church family down in Aiken, SC praying for you too. Huge hugs! I love you. ~cindy
