"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

Critical mass/sound barrier

Well, I am writing this entry again because my foot kicked the power cord disconnecting the cpu.
Definition: Critical mass: what is needed to effect a change. Sound barrier: sudden increase in air resistance before breakling through it. Jared's white cells(Jo's white cells!!!) have been Wed.100, Thurs.200, today 100. He is experiencing a lot of pain with headaches, pain behind eye, severe stomach cramps, nausea, a blood clot behind his knee that they can't treat because of low platelets and other similar maladies. Yet he keeps getting up and walking the halls,which the doctors say he needs to do. His doctor says Jared is a model patient. Anyway we need Jared's white cells and immune system to reach critical mass to push him through these barriers of resistance in his body. He reminds me of the old test planes they used when trying to break through the sound barrier initially. They would appear to be coming apart at the seams right before they broke through to the other side. So please pray for:
1. Blood clot behind knee. Serious problem.
2. Healing for his eyes whatever that is.(They are doing an mri today)
3.Clearing up of stomach cramps.
4. For his immune system to fully emerge and run to all the battles going on in his body. The doctors say when this happens they expect all these issues to be resolved.
5. Strength and courage for Jared and Christina to keep fighting. (See 2Cor.4:16-18.)
Thanks again for continued support and for encouraging words on blog. (Prov.12:25)
The Waters
P.S. Christina asked me to update everyone on pathology of whatever it was they took out of his eyes during the operation. There were no leukemia cells found(thank you Lord), "it's not a toomah!!!", it is not infection or bacteria though they continue to run cultures on it. So things have been ruled out but we pray for healing and restoration to normal function of his eye.

Fierce, that's what you are, Jared and Christina, and you will break through. It is characteristic of the Lord to break through. He breaks through our weakness with His strength, our sorrow with His joy, our bondages with His truth. And so, we all who stand with you agree today that the Lord, our Healer breaks through your infirmity and establishes soundness of body, soul and spirit. Lay hold of it, Jared. The Lord is with you, brother.

WOW!! But I expect nothing less from Jared. You always have to do things the hard way. It is about time for some orange chicken; isn't it? I am positive that all of you some day will hear "Well done my good and faithful servant." Remembering you in my prayers. Kelly Ballinger RN OCN
