Last year while we were in Nicaragua this little girl gave Erika this flower and wanted to hold her hand everywhere we went. She kept telling Erika she was so beautiful. I agree!
It was a good day! The thought that keeps going through my head is that our God is so merciful and that Erika and I are so very blessed.
Say what you will about the power of prayer, but I received emails that people were praying yesterday for Erika in Churches across America, Brazil, Honduras, and Iraq. Yesterday things started swinging back for the good. (See yesterdays post) The big news for the day is that this morning’s CT scan revealed that the bleeding has stopped and the body is starting to absorb the blood. If that doesn’t make you smile nothing will. Erika and I thank you oh so much for your prayers; however, please don’t stop! There is a long road ahead.
When I walked in this morning Erika gave me a big smile and said it had been a good night. She wanted me to hear a song that she had been listing to on her I-Phone during the night. I’ve posted it down below so you can listen to it.
Reinforcements arrived today in the form of my parents. Their job is to take care of me so I can take care of Erika.
What to pray for: 1) That the horrific head pain will subside and the blood will continue to be absorbed. 2) That we move forward each day and don’t regress.
When I got home tonight the mail box had a bunch of cards. Thanks a million!!! I’ll hand deliver them first thing in the morning.
With a grateful heart,
Tim

GLad she is doing well. We'll plan to get together when she's up to it. I'd LOVE to meet her and see you again! Tell your parents hi for me! We continue to pray.
Dear Tim & Erika,
What a true, encouraging and motivating song to listen to for comfort. God is the Healer and He is all we need! We are glad to hear that the bleeding has stopped. That is good news but we will remain on our knees asking God for complete healing. Thanks for giving us this blog to keep us updated.
Love,
Bob and Dotsy
Tim and Erika,
Good News! We have prayed since we heard last week. May God continue to heal Erika; provide her comfort and peace. May He continue to give strength to you while you serve her.

Psalms 4:8 "I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone Lord make me dwell in safety."

You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Praise God for His awesome power. The song you posted is one of our favorites.

Tim & Erika,
We are thrilled with Erika's continued progress. We spoke with dad tonight and he is also praying for the both of you. We will keep you in our prayers.
We know that miracles are always in HIS making!
