One needs to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames are the hottest as to burn away all the impurities. His eyes never leave the precious metal and knows it is refined & finished when He can see His own image in it....May He see His image in me.

Still Heartbroken

Today I have now recieved an email from Barbara's Mom & Dad. Thought I would share this as well. All of this has got to be devasting. But thankfully they are a family that is able to walk hand in hand with the One who will be bringing Barbara from her earthly home into her Heavenly Home. Please continue to pray.

Dearest Friends and Family

Yesterday morning Barbara was taken to the hospital.She is very lethargic and tries to communicate but cannot. The Doctors ran a CT scan and said that she has some swelling in her brain. They gave her some steroids to try to reduce the swelling but it is only a comfort treatment for her. The game plan for today is for them to remove the IV and Hospice will take over. They will furnish all of the necessities. Hospital bed, IV if need and a 24 hour nurse here at the house. They will transport her here this morning. The outlook is not very good the doctor thinks a couple of days.

Last night when we left she was resting peacefully. She had a headache and they gave her some medication for that. But she is in no pain. As always she looked so beautiful. This is a hard time, but the Lord is Gracious and Merciful. We know you have prayed for us all through these last two years. We could not have gotten through it without your loving support! We mean that from the soul of our hearts! God has provide SO much comfort, strength, blessing and family and friends to walk with us. We ask for wisdom and guidance through all the details of the days ahead. This has been an amazing journey of God's mercy and grace in so many areas we can't begin to list them all.

PS. May we all dance with the Lord!
