Run to the battle
Jared has had a rough week. Problems with his eyes, nausea, mouth sores, and just overall funk from everything being at the bottom. His white count is at zero. The doctors say things need to start turning around now. Sometimes when you are right in the face of the enemy you want to run and grasp at hope. Dianne read in the Word this morning that when David met Goliath he ran towards him. That is what we choose to do. Run to the battle. That is what Jared and Christina are doing. They are planning on walking out of the hospital on Friday, the three week mark that was set as a target date. Jared is still pushing himself to walk the halls. Amazing. I would have folded long ago. So here is the list:
1.Bone marrow transplant begins to take with little rejection issues.(Our understanding is a little rejection is good for recovery from All)
2.Remedy and healing for his eyes.(Once again something these doctors had not seen before. Way to go Jared!)
3. Protection from infection. This is very important.
4. Spiritual and mental stamina for Jared and Christina.(and us too)
5. Wisdom and insight for each healthcare worker caring for Jared.
Thanks to you all who keep up with this blog and intercede in prayer. We do not take it for granted. We will keep you posted.

As I was reading this I kept repeating Battle, Battle, Battle. That was even before the David and Goliath reference. It is such a battle, and we are so sure that you are just weary from it all. But we are here with you, encouraging, praying, loving and cheering you on through this time.
Hold Fast!!
Love,
Lance, Jenn, Jenna and Taryn

Jared my magnificent fighter! Your spirit and will constantly amaze me, I am so proud to call you my brother, and I stand firm next to you in this fight. I did some research on your name and this is what I found:
Jared - Descendent,Favored
Matthew 21:22 NKJV
"And WHATEVER things you ask in prayer, believing, you will recieve."
You have the favor of the Lord on you and when you ask and believe He always delivers. We have seen it time and time again and we know that this battle falls into the same category. We go running toward the enemy and continue to push back KNOWING that we have the vitory and complete healing is your promise.
Justin and I will be up to see you tomorrow but I couldn't wait I just needed to tell you this.
Standing Firm,
Jo

We continue to remember all of you in prayer many, many times every day and passed on the request to a church where Bob played this morning. You are surrounded on every side and "underneath are the everlasting arms..." Tonight we are trusting that joy will come in the morning!

Jared,my special boy, I was sharing with your momma my journal entry yesterday and it is this: The silence of our Lord seems deafening right now as Job proclaimed, "tho He slay me, yet will I HOPE in Him" and that is what we continue to do-there is ALWAYS hope. Nothing will shake our faith and no, Satan, you WILL NOT have the victory-it is the Lord's. Habakkuk stated "I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord. Renew them in our day". That is our prayer and we do stand in awe of you, Jared and Christina. All my love and prayers, Aunt Marylyn

We come back on the 18th and look forward to having long discussions about how KU basketball will wheeze like an old man through another interesting season.

Jared and Family,
I was listening to the radio yesterday to KLTY and heard Bebo Norman's song "I Am". It's a song I have heard many times before, but the chorus stuck out to me and I instantly thought of you.
"I am in the sun, I am in the shade
I am in the light that love has made
I am in the cold, I am in the warm
I am in the center of your storm
I am in the fire, I am in the flood
I am in the marrow and the blood
When you cannot stand...I am"
It was a powerful reminder to me and I hope to you too. I love you all and am praying that as you run into the battle that God meets you there like never before.

..... The Lord is near. Do not be anxious abut anything.. " You know the rest but what stood out to me is what comes before the verses we usually pray, "THE LORD IS NEAR"
He is near Jared and he loves you and Christina. Peace to you both tonight.
Love you very much!
