"Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all of this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinquish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:14-17

Another Chance to Experience a Miracle...

As we last posted Jared was undergoing a spinal tap to see if there was any cancer in the spinal fluid. Dr. Davis said today that there were no leukemic cells in the spinal fluid but taking into consideration all of Jared's other problems he believes that there is Leukemia hiding out somewhere in Jared's brain, therefore they are going to begin treatment starting today. Jared will have radiation treatments everyday for the next couple weeks and a chemo treatment in his spine every two weeks.

This was not what any of us hoped Jared would have to deal with but we are thankful they have found what the problem is and can begin to truly heal Jared. We believe this is another chance for us to see God's miracles performed in Jared's life. We hope for a miracle, we believe for it and we expect to see it happen.

Please pray for divine wisdom for the doctors and nurses who are caring for Jared. Also for supernatural strength and encouragement for Jared and Christina.

"Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the LORD delivers him in times of trouble. The LORD will protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes. The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness." Psalm 41:1-3
