We were out of town all weekend, but upon our return, I found out that Dad and Mom had had a rough weekend. Friday night, while trying to get out and do some Christmas shopping, Dad started choking on part of his supper, and choked for over 3 hours. They considered going to the ER, but after Dad felt himself relax a little, they went on home. Dad and Mom are very discouraged. Dad's intestines were doing a little better keeping the food in him a little longer, but he is now having trouble again. There is no way he will be able to gain weight if we can't keep the food in him.
He survived the men's Christmas party at the church on Thursday night, but since then has refused to get on the scales not wanting to know if he lost any more weight. He has had a rough weekend, overall feeling bad and discouraged with his condition.
They are heading to MDA Tuesday. They will be having tests run and Dr.s appointments on Wed. and Thurs.
Specifically we are asking for prayer:
That they will be able to find out what is causing the bowel issues, and the choking and that it is treatable.
That they do not find any new growths in the esophagus.
That the Drs. would know exactly how to take care of him, and have wisdom beyond their training and years.
Please pray for encouragement for their hearts.
Thank you, JJ

We love you all and are continuing to pray. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas! Claudia
This morning, the Lord took me to Psa. 86:5-7 and Psa. 89:8...verses about the God's character and commitment in relationship to his people. He reminded me of Heb. 11 that talks about His power, His promises and the people who overcame overwheming odds. The words about seeing Him who is invisible encouraged me because I thought about how faith is choosing to believe in the invisible. Mike's health and healing appear invisible right now, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. My favorite verse of the morning, though, was Job 42:2, in talking to the Lord..."You can do everything and no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You." Praise God for His Words of truth and encouragement. We love you!

Team Janszen,
There is such power
That we all share
It comes from God
In the form of prayer.
When two or more gather
And in God's will agree
There is an wonderful blessing
That you will surely see.
You need never feel alone
For God is always there
He's never far away
He's just as close as prayer.
He bids us share with each other
The power that He gave us
And tell them of the loving Son
Whom He sent to save us.
It is my joy and pleasure
To lift your name in prayer
Trusting in the Father above
Because of the faith we share.
Thank you JJ for the update on Mike and guidance for specific prayer.
ALL our love in Christ,
Ray and Deanne (Brown) Harvey
We're praying for doctor's wisdom and comfort for the family. Sommer
Mike and Jan,
It was so good to talk to both of you Tuesday before your trip to Houston. As we hung up the phone, the familure verse came to mind...."for I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord." They are plans for good and not for disaster; to give you a future and a hope."
Jer.29;11.
I am praying this passage over both of you, this week. I am praying that HIS perfect plan is being played out in every appointment and conversation you have this week. Love you both; Cindy
P.S. Judy....I loved your words !
