My PT came yesterday and worked with me mostly with her step stool so I could have more practice with going up stairs.It was very versatile as it could be 3 to 7 inches in height. And Praise the Lord, when my OT came later we went upstairs and I was able to take my first shower in 2 months! It felt so good.:) I am getting much better with my walker, not just walking some but also standing without holding on to it. I appreciate your prayers for me and John more than I can say! Please continue. I hope all of you have a blessed day! Yvonne
want to thank everyone again for your continued prayers for Yvonne.
She has come a long way with your prayers and love and God;'s healing power! She now no longer uses the wheelchair! She walks around the house and in the back yard and for short walks down the driveway and the sidewalk. God is good! We're believing for the promise He have us before her surgery: I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord, Hebrews 10:23 that says ,Let us therefore hold unswervingly to the hope we profess for He who promised is faithful. We say the surgeon again last Wednesday the 27th and the PA told us Yvonne is actually further along than they thought she would be at this point, Praise the name of Jesus! He removed the no bending, no twisting and no lilting restrictions which makes things a lot easier. She still has pain but it is nothing like it used to be just a few short weeks ago. We are hoping and believing that son she will be able to begin walking without the walker.Outpatient physical therapy starts on May 11th. Please do continue to pray for us Thanks
Received this early this morning: Today,May 16th, Yvonne started her physical therapy.They are working on stretches for her legs and back. Please pray they will be able to help her get to the point where she will be able to walk as she puts it, without the walker. We still need your prayers! This has been a long journey and it seems to be far from over! Thank you for all your support over the past four months!
So good to see Yvonne up and about! Will continue Prayers for you, your family, doctors, and therapists.
Was in DC from May 8-11th for a 50 Year Memorial Ceremony "Never Forgotten 34". Very Emotional and Healing. Praising God for this opportunity to meet, gather and Hug our Bigger Family and to grieve, share stories and Honor those who never came back. Thank You God

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. —Lamentations 3:22-23
God is talking to you!
My compassions never fail. They are new every morning.So begin your day expectantly, ready to receive fresh compassions. Don’t let yesterday’s failures weigh you down. Learn from your mistakes and confess known sins, but don’t let those become your focus. Instead, keep your eyes on Me.
Always give thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. —Ephesians 5:20 NLV

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
James 1:19
Take time—not only to think through what you want to say but to listen to the other person. If you listencarefully and pause before responding, you will be much less likely to become angry.
Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment." —Matthew 22:37-38
A successful day is one in which you have stayed in touch with God, even if many things remain undone at the end of the day. . . . Make communicating with God your highest priority!
I have set the Lord continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. —Psalm 16:8 NASB
I’ve found that the key to steadiness in my life is to set God continually before me. When I make God my Focus, I can walk more steadily along my life-path.
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. —James 1:12
Whenever you are feeling battered by life's trials, remember the crown of righteousness that is stored up for you.
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." —John 16:33 NKJV
You are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light. —2 Samuel 22:29
Do not focus on the circumstances that are weighing you down. Instead, through eyes of faith, look ahead to brighter times, and praise God for them. Worship God in the midst of darkness.
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. —Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
Help me not to let unexpected events throw me off course. Instead of getting upset or anxious, I want to respond calmly and confidently—remembering that You are with me.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. —Hebrews 12:2
Invite the Holy Spirit to guide you. When you get focused on your problems or this world redirect your thoughts to God.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. --John 14:6
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.—Psalm 23:1-3
May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. —2 Thessalonians 3:16 NIV
