November 11, 2009 PM


This has been the best day yet. The news came this morning from the Internist and then later tonight from the Neurosurgeon. There is no aneurysm; therefore, a surgery is not required. Around a week ago we had heard similar news; however, a test later in the week revealed a possible aneurysm in the basilar artery. If there was one or not I do not know, but I do know it’s not there now. This is a team win for all those who prayed for her healing. The following was on one of the cards Erika received today. It seems particularly fitting after the last two weeks.

No Ocean Can Hold It Back.
No River Can Overtake It.
No Whirlwind Can Go Faster.
No Army Can Defeat It.
No Law Can Stop It.
No Distance Can Slow It.
No Disease Can Cripple it.
No Force On Earth Is More Powerful Or Effective Than The Power Of Prayer.

Kari Jobe’s music has been a great comfort to Erika during the past two weeks. The below song has been especially comforting during the long sleepless nights. It has reminded her that our God has everything under control and that she needs to just be still and rest in his loving care.

By the way, if things go as planned, I can turn the porch light off tomorrow night. ; )

Thanks again for your prayers,

Tim & Erika

Fantastic news Tim!! So happy for you and Erika. Like you said whatever it was that caused the bleeding is not there now and that is very, very good. Hopefully, she will continue to gain strength over the next few weeks and get back to attaining her goals. Either way, this event has no doubt increased your faith in God and each other (the silver lining in that dark cloud). Can't wait to hear that the porch light is off and she is back continuing to heal at home.

Take care (still hitching our thoughts of healing to the cold fronts that pass over head...they'll get to you soon enough). Nicole
