Just wanted to update those of you who were thinking and praying for my friends Stacie/Jeff and her son Gavin. I truly believe the power of prayer and I see how it is helping this family in the midst of this crisis. The surgery went much better than expected today. They think they were able to get most or all of the tumor. There are still many hurdles to leap, but they are very pleased that the surgery today went so well! There are more specific updates about the surgery on the blog if you are interested. http://smithscooptexas.blogspot.com
Thanks for all of your prayers. I am truly amazed how communities of faith can come together and I am so thankful to see their circle of prayer and people growing by the minute, as I read all the uplifting comments on their blog. I am more aware of just how precious each day of life is and I am glad to have each of you as friends and family, I see how people are surrounding Stacie with love and prayer, and I know if that were any one of us in that situation, we would do the same for each other, and that brings peace to know that when believers are gathered, Christ is truly present in the midst of our darkest and scariest times...
God Bless,
Kristina Martin
