and pray and seek My face,
and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin
and heal their land.
(II Chronicles 7:14)

Praise Reoort
Took DH to the DR yesterday and wanted to share a praise report.
NO MORE VALLEY FEVER!!!!
THANK YOU JESUS!
We are still waiting for an opening with the Pulmologist but this was GREAT news to hear, one more problem healed by our Sweet Jesus.
Getting out was hard on DH but Jesus helped him and we ladies as we waited at the pharmacy for two hours to fill meds.
He is still in pain and swollen from all the trauma from last week, but we can also see each day how Jesus is healing him one thing and step at a time.
He is just trying to rest as much as he can and regain his strength.
Think that's about it for this post.
Our Filtration system
"Finally, brethren,
whatever things are true,
whatever things are noble,
whatever things are just,
whatever things are pure,
whatever things are lovely,
whatever things are of good report,
if there is any virtue and
if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things"

Prayer Request for Hubby
So here is an update of sorts.... it has been one crazy ride..
Status of Steve's health: Very Poor but holding steady.
He is having many complications here at home and we just had a VERY scary thing happen.
Because of not feeling well myself I was up and in the office working on things,
I look up to Steve standing in the doorway with "That Look"
(you medical professionals should know what I am talking about
if you have any experience in Telemetry)
He was sweating as if a water hose was on a low steady stream,
literally could not wipe the sweat fast enough,
totally soaked his shirt and the chair he was sitting in.
He was white and pasty, bluish/gray and glossed over pupils dilated.
Severe chest pain and dizzy to the point of not being able to walk right
this has been off and on since this whole thing started getting worse a month ago.
I am watching the clock for when the DR's office will open, and plan to call her to update her
and possibly get him in there today.
Why didn't I call 911?
Because when I checked his STATS they were PERFECTLY normal
(something else that hasn't been consistent through all of this as well)
but for having just experienced what he did
I wasn't going to be surprised if they were all out of whack.
But they were not and we praise God for that.
Of course I did tell him I wanted to take him in, but he would rather ride it out and keep trusting God. And since things have calmed down
(we went to prayer over him right away)
and felt assurance that God was in control and all is well.
However I am keeping a VERY close eye on him!!!!!
He goes to the Pulmonologist tomorrow,
praying we can get some answers and more information to what may be going on with the lungs.
One major concern is to also get an ECHO done to check on that heart valve,
and hope the infection in that is gone.
Steve has had three heart attacks and they were caused by weakened heart muscles due to infection surrounding the heart from the pneumonia that keeps reoccurring , so we are very familiar with what is going on with that side of things and need to get his cardiologist back on board to check up there.
Ironically it happens to be mine as well.
Neat quick story, when Steve was in ICU in 2001 and we almost lost him, Dr.Tri was his attending Cardiologist during that time. We did not put two and two together until after seeing him again with me(2010) that we were in an office visit and the pieces to the puzzle all came together and it was neat how God had ordained this meeting again.
He is a VERY good DR and knows his stuff!!! of Course Tri is his first name and we are at that level in our relationship due to how often we visit together =)
We feel like his whole team is our extended family.. lol
Anyway, just wanted to bring this before all you prayer warriors
and update Family and Friends all at the same time instead of trying to text all of this.
It has been a long journey but we have been so BLESSED!!!!
I do not care nor will I listen to any of you that would like to explain it away as being something else, you are not here, you do not know facts, we do... and I KNOW that by the time I grabbed my phone and got Shania out of bed so she could take over with 911 and I was prepared to start working on him (been there before back in 2002 when he went down on me walking down the hallway of our apartment) but God had touched Steve and I got awesome numbers on his STATS.
BP= Perfect, HR= Perfect, O2= Perfect.
PRAISE GOD!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!
Thank you Lord for stepping between my dear hubby and that storm that threatened to come crashing in on us.
We went right back into prayer of thanksgiving and praise to our KING JESUS.
He is so incredibly good to us, and though we may not understand all of this, we are not questioning why. Because we are standing on HIS truth and promises and we are completely surrendered to God no matter what!!!
Casting down ALL vain imaginations and putting them under Gods authority.. (yes I paraphrased)
I refuse any doubters.
So this is ONLY for those who can join us with,
NO critical spirits to interfere with our faith.
NO doubters, if you do not believe beyond what you do not know or understand, that is okay, no offense taken just step back and let those who can pray and trust with us step in closer.
We are so very thankful for ALL of you who are standing behind us doing just that.
Praying despite not understanding the gaps in details, or why, ect.
We are so thankful for our families, and our Church family and our friends.
We love each one of ya so much!!!!
We are praying for all of ya as Jesus brings ya to our minds.
Psalm 42:5
"Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him,
For the help of His countenance."
Ephesians 3:20,21
"Now unto Him,
that is able to do exceeding,
abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us,
Unto Him be glory in the church
by Christ Jesus throughout all ages,
world without end. AMEN."

Been a rough few days. But Gods still good!!!
I have been having some very painful long days and nights,
the pain is great,
partially paralyzed in my right leg as I write this,
the tumor wrapped around my spine feels like a hand squeezing it...
makes me feel so sick.
Add to that the Potsi flare up, very painful and heart rate was running around 125.
But thank You Jesus, after hubby and girls prayed over me my heart rate seems to be calming, and I am trusting the rest to do the very same thing..
Enemy of my soul wants me to give up in these moments.. it proves he can not read our thoughts or see our heart because by the grace of GOD.. I WILL NOT give in, I will NOT give up, I will NOT back down.
I am in this thing until I hear my King say
"Welcome in thy good and faithful servant, come, see all that I have prepared for you"
The moments that are rough it feels like fire, on the temporal front it looks dark, no relief in sight, but just when we feel we can not take another moment... Jesus calls out to the storm, He steps between me and the storm and says "Peace be still"
I am so glad to serve a REAL GOD, who knows, cares, loves, and NEVER forsakes.
He is so incredibly good...
Steve was reading a scripture to us the other night that I would like to share with all of you.
It is found over in Proverbs..
13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Y'all know I speak through Music... Here is my song tonight.. well one of them =)

21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord,
And He ponders all his paths.
And He ponders all his paths.
And he also shared this one with me just now, and it was already going through my mind.
God is so incredible.
