Irene’s sister’s Carmen and Jane arrived Saturday afternoon and it wasn’t long before the three of them were dashing about the region on a shopping spree!!  Carmen and Jane spent last night at our house.  It’s a JOY to see how much they enjoy being together.  Carmen and Jane really breathe life into Irene.  Despite all she faces, Irene continues to exhibit the peace that passes all understanding which can only be explained by a vibrant and dynamic faith.

God is PRESENT in our midst on this outrageous journey and we realize and experience His PEACE inside of each passing day.  We don’t know what the future holds but we know the One who holds the future.

Does this mean that the amyloid journey has been easy?  Obviously, not.  Without question, it’s the most difficult challenge we’ve ever faced.

Does this mean that we haven’t had moments of deep despair and discouragement?  Obviously, we have.  Without question, the pendulum of emotions swing as far as the east is from the west.  The ultimate issues of life and death have lead to brutally candid and heartfelt dialogue on topics that we would have never imagined in our wildest nightmares.

However, we rest and are comforted by God’s Word where he tells us that…

We are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.
Romans 8:37

We also see him “show up” every step of the way because He tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us.  His presence is in our midst because we gather in His Name.

And, we could not have done it alone.  We are blessed to have…

•  God’s ever abiding presence through the Holy Spirit
•  His Word that never changes
•  The community around us…such as the person reading this update

So, we don’t “land” in despair but we have HOPE in each day.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23

“To Him who is able to keep you from falling…”
Jude 24

Our message is simple:

God SUSTAINS no matter what someone is going through.

As is the book title written by Holly Wagner, “When it Pours, He Reigns”.

And we pay tribute to Him this Memorial Day Weekend.

We don’t know where you are on your particular journey, but we encourage you to put your trust in Him this weekend and “memorialize” the day you first acknowledged His rightful place in your heart, which is Lord and Savior over all of who you are and all of who you will become.

Caminando con Fé
