Feb 5thCathy for Carol
"Hi" from Carol. There are "great" moments sprinkled with a few "nose dives" as well. Carol has been able to get in some piano practice on some days of late...one of her great loves! Yay for those days with energy enough to do some of those things that bring her joy! She has had a bit of a nose dive for the past few days...low platelet levels, pain and low energy. Carol is thankful for the help of so many people. You are cherished beyond words! The above picture was taken just after the men in the Thursday evening Bible study at the Porters had prayed for Carol...it was very sweet seeing Carol surrounded by those men all praying with faith and passionate care for her.
1st, 2nd and 3rd John have meant a good deal to Carol since she has been back in the Word on a daily basis. The emphasis those books place on love and obedience has been in the forefront of her mind.
This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome
1 John 5:3 (NIV)
Carol is rejoicing daily as she is able to watch others coming closer to God through her situation.
She had a good talk with Dr. Reddy (her key doctor at Stanford)...he is not discouraged. Carol will have some blood tests next week to see where her levels stand and, if they are in the levels expected, Carol will resume treatment starting Monday, Feb 16, here in Pleasanton. We will keep you posted on any new developments or changes in the situation.
Specific prayer requests from Carol would be that she is wise with use of what energy she does have and for pain control...thank you all!

Oh, Carol, it's so good to see your face again! I bought some more tapioca to make whenever you want some! :) My aunt wants to make a sweater for you so I need to get over there to take some measurements when you have time. I continue to pray for God's love and grace to surround you.
Love you,
Melanie
Carol, we have been praying for you both with the Tuesday night Prayer study, and in the Wednesday night Precepts group. You are such an encouragement and blessing to me - I want you to know that from here to Iowa you are being lifted up in prayer more than daily.... Will add the prayers for pain control!
Love you,
Nikki
Hi Carol, I'm so sorry you have been in pain. I pray that the treatment will be effective and that you will have the strength to do the things you love. I have also recently been in I, II, and III John and got a lot out of it. Pretty sobering actually.
Love you.

Carol, just wanted to drop a line to say I'm thinking and praying for you. So good to see your smile!!
Praying for you daily. Can't wait to see your sweet face in person!! Just another week to go and Evodia, Georgia, and I will be able to hug you and pray with you in person.
My love in abundance,
Carol in Debrecen Hungary
