Option for Thursday?

Will 7:45 work Thursday night or we can resume on Monday???

Bible Study Thursday Night!!!

Hey everyone! I sent an email out and if you didn't get it here is the short and sweet. Tiffany and I have softball games on Thursday. The game is at 6:45 so it would be too hard to make it eariler or later. Post a suggestion!

Thursday, April 30

This week's bible study will be at Nikki's house. We have lots going on in the upcoming months. I'm trying to figure out a way to post a calendar. Hopefully it will be up soon and we will all be in the know!

Update on my friend Julie's little girl Mackenzie

This was from her most recent post on her caringbridge site:

"Wednesday we were up at 5:45 AM and off to Charlotte. We arrived at the hospital a little after 7:00 AM for Mackenzie's MIBG scan. Mackenzie was put to sleep at 8:30AM and she got to recovery a little before 11:00AM. When we left recovery around noon we went to clinic for Mackenzie to receive one more drug for round five. We left the hospital on Wednesday at 2:30 PM. Mackenzie again did really well.Today we had the last drug for round five, and thankfully today was a short day. In at noon out, at 1:30PM. Before we left the doctor came in to give us the results of the testing that has been going on for the last two weeks. As you know Mackenzie's disease is at stage four meaning the tumors have spread throughout her body. The disease in her back, legs, arms, and pelvic region are disappearing. The tumor above the kidney is getting smaller, the one behind her eye is getting smaller. The tumors are responding to the chemo and the doctor is happy with what he is seeing at this point. Our doctor did say he would have liked to see the tumor above the kidney to be a little smaller at this point, but nonetheless it is shrinking. Same for the tumor behind her eye, but that could be caused by the disease effecting the bone and not necessarily be a tumor. Another CT scan might be done next week to get a better idea of the eye area."

Please continue to lift this incredible family up in prayer. Her daughter is only about a month older than Luke and it breaks my heart to think of what they are going through.

Caroline and John's Baby Update

Caroline has a blog where she is updating their baby news--I'm just going to link to it from here rather than re-typing everything. Thank you for your prayers!

Praise God!!! I was able to witness today. A older man that has been coming to our outpatient clinic came today and gave me this opportunity. I knew that he wasn't saved, just based on the way he walked and talked. Somehow we got on the discussion about the end of times and I said that I liked reading the book of revelations. He asked why? I then told him, "I guess I like to know the way the story ends". Well he then proceeded to ask questions (and laughing the entire time). He said "Now, I want to ask you something, and I am just asking...how do you know that Muslims aren't believing the right thing?" I think we have all had this same question at some point or another and just staying in teh word and reading reveals the answer, but Martha (secretary who is a christian) responded. She said because if you are saved and you believe the scripture you know that religions that make their own idols are false and Muslims do that. I also followed up by--"if you believe that you are a christian ,in which you said you are, then you would have no other reason to believe otherwise. Our christianity faith is based on one God and one God alone. He tells us in the 10 commandments to have no other God's before me and to not make idols for yourselves. I also asked him what does being a christian mean to him and he responded by saying "if I treat people good and do right and try not to do anything bad." I responded by "that's not what a true christian is". Well we went on discussing and later I asked him " Would you like me to get you some material" and he responded and laughed saying "No". I could not beleive how it did not bother me that he was laughing at me, but then I thought to myself he laughed in discomfort. This man has recently been diagnosed with a disease that is quickly killing him. I pray that you girls will pray for him and that God would convict him with the things that we said and make him start questioning and searching for answers. Pray that God would seek him. Emails are so hard to tell a story because you can't hear the tone of my voice, but rejoice with me. This was an awesome opportunity for me.

Hey Ladies!!! Please pray that God would send me the energy of a wild horse to start studying for the boards. Time is clicking-oh No! Don't forget I graduate May 14,15. Leave to go back to Charleston May 5, so guess what someone is going to have to do the bible study for me--hahaha! Summer doesn't officially start until June so no excuses!

Prayer Request

This message was sent to me from my mother-in-law and I thought I would pass it along...


"Please keep Jennifer and Brad Cheek in your prayers As you probably know, Jennifer has been on bed rest for several weeks with premature contractions that have complicated her pregnancy. For the 4th week in a row, she has been hospitalized in Laurens. Tonight, Dr. Brown has decided to send her to Spartanburg Regional via ambulance, to a high risk doctor as her contractions have persisted in spite of the medications he has prescribed to stop them. Dr. Brown has been proactive in preparing little Jenna Bradlee for a premature delivery by giving her meds to strengthen her lungs. At 27 weeks, the ultrasound predicts her weight at a little over 3 pounds. Please pray for them and their families. "

I absolutely LOOOOVVEEE the new background. Way to go Jill!!!

I will see you guys on Thursday!

New Background

Ok----Tired of the pink already----a little b..oooo..rrrr..ing! So what do you think about this? A little sprucing up! I didn't hear back from anyone..so I'm thinking how about 7? E will take the girls up to his mom for dinner and baths and will have them back home for bed around 8. They'll be upstairs though so we're good for an all nighter....just kidding. Anyway, I'll see you all tomorrow.

On another though...I heard a portion of a talk about this book yesterday on Focus on the Family....I love listening to that while I'm in the school pick-up line---the part of the day I actually look forward too--the sun coming in the windows, kids sleeping in the back and just listening to wonderful speakers with great advice---anyway.....

They were discussing this new book and it sounds like it would be GREAT! It's a 2 book series/set. One for wives and one for husbands. It's all about how to figure out what the opposite sex is thinking. For example, Yesterdays talk was on wives learning about men and used the example of when men are driving around looking for a place--lost--and won't stop and ask for directions--for wives to constantly nag them about stopping and asking someone, they sense that we don't have faith in them or trust them. That's not our point--we just don't won't to be late, but they don't hear that in the communication--They hear--you are dumb and don't know how to do anything right!

The 2nd part today will be about men understanding women---looking forward to hearing what that has to say.

Just wanted to share the book with you. I think I'm going to get it for E and I. (Erskine told me the other night to stop handing him reading material--he's getting behind.-) Just what he needs--1 more book!

Hey everyone! I can finally do a post. Yes, I didn't get on the blog to see what the update was, but yes we are going to do the thing at Jill's.

No Bible Study This Week

Hi Girls!

Just wanted to send out a reminder that we will not have bible study this week. We'll take the week off for Spring Break and then pick up at Jill's house the following week.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy break---Kaysi--be careful traveling!
