Well, we are back in Houston for our check-up. Carson, Casey, Judy and I just got back from Trueluck's restaurant. We had a lovely dinner with old friends, Peter and Deb Shipman. They're trying to get me to play spades and I want to get this blog done.
So...here's our schedule: Starting at 11 AM tomorrow, Judy starts her tests. We should be done about three or so. Then, we meet with Dr. Pham at 10:30 Wednesday to get the results of the tests. We will drive back to Mesquite that afternoon. You can look for a blog sometime Wednesday afternoon.
We covet your prayers for us to be totally and completely receptive to what God has planned for us. We will praise Him for healing, or we will praise Him for not healing, knowing that His purpose is holy and perfect. We cannot possibly understand His will, but we are totally committed to His Plan. When Judy awoke this morning, she had such peace and felt no fear. Isn't God so sweet?
See you again Wednesday,
Ronnie

Gearing Up
Well, we go to MD Anderson for tests and scan next Tuesday. Although we know that many of you have been praying regularly for Judy, we want to ask you to pray specifically for complete healing, evidenced by a clear CT Scan. We know God is quite capable of removing the cancer from Judy's body, if He so chooses, in order to accomplish His purpose to give witness to His mighty power and grace.
Judy and I are trying our best to have faith for complete healing, but our humanness keeps creeping in with doubts. I guess we just fear failing in our faith...what will others think if healing doesn't happen? Pray that we can walk so closely with God that we will know comfort and purpose no matter what comes our way. God has already used Judy's cancer to touch many people for His glory. If He has more He wants us to do with the cancer, then, to God be the glory! If He wants to use miraculous healing to accomplish His plan, then, to God be the glory!
We want to thank everyone of you for your friendship, encouragement, your support, and most of all, your prayers. We will be on the blog next Wednesday with news from the doctors. God bless every one of you in a very special way.

Melt Down
From Judy:
I had a melt down last night. That is the third time. I couldn't sleep so, I got up and unloaded the dishwasher, then went back to bed. I still couldn't sleep,
I got up and played games on my computer. I still could not sleep. That went on for several hours. I kept thinking about some really sad and really hard things that are happening in our family at this time. Things that have nothing to do with what's going on in my body.
About 3:00 am, I went into the living room and just sat there in the dark. Suddenly the tears came and then the sobs. I felt completly 'out of gas'. Why was God letting all this stuff happen, especially at this time? I begged Him to do something. I told Him that I needed to see that He knows about all this stuff. My history and faith knew that He was aware of everything, but my heart hurt.
Finally I went to bed about 4:00....nothing resolved. I must have fallen asleep right away.
This afternoon God moved and let me get a glimpse into how he was working behind the scene. It was a small thing in the worlds eyes, but hugh in my eyes right now. How very dear and sweet He is.
My friend,Olevia',called and told me about something that was said in Bible study 20
yrs.ago and how when she gets like I was last night, she just thinks about God picking her up and holding her in His rocking chair. I had spent hours sitting in a yellow chair when I could have been in His lap!!!!!!
This whole thing has been quite a ride. I hope I learn something everyday...something that will cause me to crawl up in His lap and just go to sleep and let Him run the world.

Update
Judy is still feeling fantastic...can you believe it? Yes you can...God is sooooo good.
We are in Fayetville, Ar. tonight and will be going to Little rock tomorrow, visiting the Scott boys and their families. Had a wonderful meal of K-Bobs and casseroles with Philip and Karla in their beautiful mountain home.
I'm so anxious to get back to M.D. Anderson Sept. 14...I have a really good feeling that God wants to show us another miracle! Please continue to pray for complete healing. Thank you all,
Ronnie and Judy

Surprise...we're back
Well, it's been quite a while since we last posted. However, since Judy has been doing so well, we just didn't have too much to say. But, we should have been thanking so many of you for continuing to pray. We know that Judy's absence of sickness and pain are a direct result of your prayers.
Judy got her third monthly shot on Friday and has experienced absolutely no reactions at all...praise God. We will be going back to MD Anderson on Setember 14 to have another octreotide scan to see if there has been any progression since the last scan in April. We are praying (and we would ask each of you to pray), that the scan will reveal no tumors.
The Lord gave us this scripture this morning: II Corinthians 12: 7b-10 "But to keep me from getting puffed up, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from getting proud. Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time He said 'My gracious favor is all you need. My power works best in your weakness.' So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may work through me. Since I know it is all for Christ's good,I am quite content with my weaknesses and with insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." This is from the New Living Translation.
We love you all and praise God for your friendship,
Ronnie and Judy

All Clear
Casey got the "all clear" from her EEG. Everything is normal...praise God!
Judy will be going in to the Oncologist on Friday for blood work and her second Big Shot. She still, thank the Lord, has not experienced any sickness or other side affects from the medication. She is working her two days a week at the Dr's office and then her normal routine the rest of the week.
As you may remember, we will be going back to M D Anderson on the 14th of September to do more labs and another Octreotide Scan. Please pray that we won't find progression of the tumors then.
