To All Who Pray……
………can I ask a favor, or two??????
I just heard that my cousin was in a fender bender. I don’t believe that she is seriously hurt, but it’s always stressful to be in any kind of collision. So, could you keep her in your prayers. Pray for peace and saftey and comfort, and that this would not “rattle” her too much!
Also, I’d like to request that you all be praying for my aunt, Sherry. This is the aunt that works at VGH, and she is such a support and help to us. She is “Carrying” a lot right now, between, work and family and friends, and even this weekend, she was called upon to use her nursing skills on a stranger in a traumatic situation when she should have just been relaxing and enjoying time with her daughter.
Can you please join with us and pray for her to be strengthened, and comforted. Pray that the tramautic events of the weekend be wiped away from her emotions. She is such a strong lady, but sometimes even the strongest of us feel overwhelmed by all that life seems to be throwing at us. Pray that in all the areas that she is pouring out God’s love to others, that she woud feel the Father pouring back love and peace and joy and strength back into her even more than what she is pouring out. Pray that she would be protected under the shadow of His Wings, physically, emotionally and mentally.
Thank you all so much!

Courtney,
All you’ve given out in prayer and love over the past 3 weeks will be returned to you many, many times over. You can’t bless others, encourage others, pray for healing for others, without recieving all that back in a huge way. We love you and are praying for you.
Aunty Sherry,
Peace to you. We love you and can never thank you enough for the love you have shown us and Chris. It means the world knowing that you are there at the hospital when we can’t be there. We stand with you, your family and Courtney as you have stood with us.
We love you.
Chris,
You are doing great. Keep moving forward. I can’t wait to see you again. We’re praying for you complete recovery, body, mind and spirit.
All our love.

Hey All,
Thank you for your love and support : I’m fine, Praise God. Just a bruised wrist/arm, which is great news considering we thought it was broken. My car…not so great, but it could have been much worse.
Your prayers are so appreciated, as a lot has been heaped upon our ENTIRE (extended) family : you all know what I’m talking about. I find myself on the edge of a breakdown with each typical frustration, ICBC call, and reminder that I can’t just stop by somewhere on my way home now, as my car is now non-existant.
God is so good and is constantly providing. Thank you for your prayers; Debbie, Patty, Aunty Karen and all the rest who pray. God is in control so evidently through our entire family and apparently we have a lot to do on this earth. Satan is not too happy with the way our lives are impacting (and will be impacting) the people around us.
We will NOT let him take us down. Praise God that we can walk in the strength and faith that we KNOW WHO HAS WON THE VICTORY.
Praise God, Praise God.
I love you all, AK I’m fine: you’re adorable. Have fun in Holland.

Hi this is the unofficial report.. Just to let you know That Chris was in surgery for around 5 hours yesterday. They were to work on his arm doing some reconstructive work. I am not sure if it was a muscle or just the skin flap… They also did something with his hand. And they worked on his leg. I am not sure all the details yet. ( it is funny as sometimes you think you have heard what they are saying and then afterwards you just don’t have it all …)There is still more infection that needs to clear from Chris’ body. When I talked with the nurse she had just got Chris back and was getting him settled. His blood pressure had been a low. The nurse told me that there was not enough blood flow into the muscle area to complete what they had anticipated they would get done. She said it was something to do with one of the drugs they had given him. But they were able to work on some of the other areas and are planning to go in again on Friday to continue the reconstructive work, so we praise God and thank Him for being with Chris and with family at this time. We continue to believe that all is going well and know that He will walk whole again. We are also continuing to pray for His mind and emotions, as his brain heals from the banging it went through. Thank you all again for continuing to pray with us and for all the thoughts and prayers. We appreciate you all so much. God Bless you Love Karen I am addng this here for those who are looking for something.. but I think there will be a better upddate… later tonight.. You could pray for this too… while Patti was in Vancouver with Mark and I seeing Chris tonight.. Jon phoned He was taking Jeremy into the Hopsital… because He had a fever and a pain in his abdomen. So we declare healing to Jeremy in Jesus name. This is enough satan we break your assignment against this family in Jesus name. WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUEROR THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. WE REMIND YOU, JESUS WHIPPED YOU AT THE CROSS. CHRIST OUR LORD, HE TRIUMPHED OVER YOU AND OVER SIN, SICKNESS AND DEATH. JEUS MADE AN OPEN SHOW OF YOUR DEFEAT! WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS WE CANNOT BE DEFEATED.. JESUS IS OUR LORD. WE LIVE AND MOVE WITHIN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WE LIVE IN THE LIGHT OF GOD’S LOVE AND THE DARKNESS CAN NEVER OVERPOWER THE LIGHT.PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
