September 2010

Dear Friends,

Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them. Matthew 4:23-24

Praise Reports:
* Ruby had some extensive blood work done this past month and everything came back normal, including her cholesterol level which measured at 99. (!)This is a really wonderful breakthrough for Ruby, and an answer to prayer.

The geneticist said that Ruby's cholesterol level has normalized at this time and they attribute it to the cholesterol treatment she gets (through egg yolks). We are thankful for the treatment and also for God's direct intervention and faithfulness in answering prayer. One of the biggest things that the restored cholesterol will help with right now is her immune system - the ability to stay healthy. Amen!

* We are also thankful this month for all the new noises that Ruby is making. She has been much more vocal recently, and it is a praise in regards to her hearing, social response, etc.

Prayer Requests

* It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. Ps. 18:32 Pray with us for a sudden restoration of Ruby's physical strength; ability to hold head, grasp with hands, sit up, stand up, walk.

* Who satisfies your mouth with good things. Ps. 103:5 Pray with us for healing of Ruby's mouth. The feedings have continued to be a major challenge this past month including really difficult and ongoing vomiting. Persist with us - in prayer. He will answer.

Thank you! We really appreciate your steady love.

Mitch, Katie, Ruby Joy
