Hi, ive been reading all of your updates and im so overwhelmed. I go to the youth group at Calvary light house and i heard about your wife! First off im very sorry but i no god will heal her as he did me. Last year i was diagnosed with a brian tumor and i had surgery to get it removed they got all they could which is good. I take keppra everyday twice a day just like Misty did. I go for my M.R.I.’s and catscans about every 2 and a half months and all is well. I know god will heal your wife and i will be parying every single day. Ive been prayng every single day since i heard your story from the kids and youth and Pastor Tim and there is such an out pooring of love for your family! Your wife sounds like an incredible women. I can’t wait to meet her when she gets up and walks into the youth group doors! Well i just wanted to say that your family’s faith is such and inspiration. I will be praying for the best of news and i hope that things keep on getting better as im sure they will! God Bless !!

Hi-
I read your posts about Missy. I must say I thought I was having a bad week and feeling quite sorry for myself the past few days…you know, money problems, kids misbehaving etc….thank you for sharing your stories. You were linked to a blog I read every day and I was intrigued. I am so glad I clicked on it. God does have a plan and Missy’s suffering somehow has a purpose. A confusing, heartwrenching lesson, but God knows what he is doing. Your attitude is inspiring and please know that from a small suburb in Chicago, a family is praying for you all.

Darren,
Sometimes words are hard to find but I want you to know that I am praying for you and Misty especially hard during this time of recovery from the seizure. You know as I do that you are both in God hands and that is love surrounds you both. God is the great and almighty healer.
Thanks for the pictures of the party for Rich and MAJ T. My prayers are with them too as they take on new assignments and settle in a mew environment.
I will be sending you my thoughts and comments from home from now on since I just retire from WIN_T Increment 1 on Monday, June 30.
Darren, I can only pray for you, Misty and Olivia. I am of a deep faith as you are that God can and does perform mircles and does heal and I know you are all in His care and His hands.
Beth

Darren, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding….with prayer make your requests known to God and He is faithful and just to answer according to His riches in Glory!! We are praying,all of us are, to move the hand of God on Misty’s behalf. We love you, And I am praying that God will give you rest. Rejoice in the Lord at all times as He is bringing you into a closer relationship with Him. He will make us to soar like eagles in the face of adversity. Prayer is the only answer and this is being fullfilled on a real scale, I know we can move His hand, He shows mercy to those who humble themselves before Him, and I know that this comes when we have to rely fully on Him. You are all always in my heart and on my lips in prayer to Gods ears. Love you three, Dawn

Read this verse this morning and thought it was appropriate to share with everyone on Misty’s Prayer and Fasting Day:

But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him,
on those whose hope is in His unfailing love,
to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
We wait in hope for the Lord,
He is our help and our sheild.
In Him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in His holy name.
May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.

Psalm 33:18-23

Today is prayer and fasting day, it’s a very important day especially now with Misty not feeling well. We all know that God is watching over her and taking care of her. God is cradling Misty in His arms and taking care of her and healing her. He is the Great Healer. With all our love and prayers to Misty, and you Darren for being the mighty best of the best of husbands, and (”doctor”) for Misty. You are truely an amazing man for all that you do. May God keep you also strong and healthy to care for our loving Misty.

Love and prayers to all of you,

Aunt Amy, grandma, and Lacey~

Believing when there is no physical evidence is a lonely and conflicting place to be in. I often feel like I am fooling myself into believing something just to have hope. And then I shake it off and remind myself that we are called to believe when we do not see, and to believe when we do not understand. God has asked me over and over again whose report will you believe? My prayer is that you will stand firm on God’s promise and set your eyes on His report in the midst of all the physical evidence to the contrary.
