Justin's Story 10

Hi All
The past month has been hectic and very upside down BUT we are confident of the following: God is in total control of this situation and of our lives, He is faithful and is good! And we trust Him completely. We have had to make certain changes in our daily lives, like ... working from home more often, as it's more comfortable and we are trying to stay away from flu germs, we are drinking a lot more "green things" like our daily smoothie of spinach, cucumber, pineapple and grapes to boost the immune system. We are also slowing down on our social life, who we see and what we are involved in.
Sleep is one of the greatest immune boosters so this is important as well.
Justin has his next chemo this week Thursday. We pray for a good platelet and white blood count as well as little side effects the 5 days that follow.
We are so amazed at the support we have been given over the past few weeks.
Sms's, E-mails, cards, e-mails, meals etc etc. We love you all and so appreciate the encouragement and prayers. We know God hears each one. We feel so grateful to have our 2 families around us who all believe in our one true God and who stand so close to us - what would we do without you?? Thank you for the hugs and loves - you are the best!!!
We have felt the peace that passes all understanding, especially during all the hospital visit's and results, but also at night when it's just the 2 of us and we draw on strength from God. We hold onto His promises for our lives and we need to be obedient and faithful to Him during this time. The comfort is that while this certainly took us by surprise, it didn't take God by surprise. He knows every moment of our lives and so we continue to put our trust in Him and know he holds our every moment!
The 2 pics attached were taken on our recent trip to a trade fair in Germany (January 2008)

Love to you all
Justin and Jenny

Interesting thing about valleys. That's where the best food is, that's where the land is the richest, where there is protection from the winds whipping up above on the mountain.. Valleys are great places to walk "through". It's a valley, not an alley. God will make the way through for you. And what a journey it will be!
Remember we will have prayers at Denis’s house on Wednesday 12 at 6:30.
