• Update on JD

  On July 13, Jd was diagnosed with a large mass in his brain. The
  doctor took three MRI scans and Jd saw them all. The news was bad. We
  waited on God’s timing and for almost a month lived in fear and
  anxiety, trusting that God would hold us through whatever was to come.
  We joined with the saints all around the globe to pray for healing for
  Jd, to pray that the tumor would be gone from his head and God would
  be glorified above all.

  On Thursday, Jd and I met with Dr. Barnett at Baylor Dallas. He put
  Jd’s newest MRI scan up on the screen and informed us that there was
  no longer a tumor, only a centimeter long cyst that was no cause for
  concern or surgery. He did not know what happened to the tumor we saw,
  only that God had shown His favor on us. We are amazed, astonished,
  and overwhelmed that God would heal Jd is such a powerful and
  magnificent way.

   We are still processing exactly what happened, as we
  find it hard to live in a miracle.

  WE ARE AMAZED AND SO GRATEFUL TO THE HEALER OF ALL MEN! Praise be to
  God, who hears and answers the prayers of the saints. He did this! He
  heard our prayers for healing and He healed JD!

  For right now, Jd is still experiencing some of the side effects of
  the tumor, but Dr. Barnett has referred us to a neurolgist to check on
  those symptoms and see what is causing them. We are also going to be
  taking a short trip to Boston (Jd’s favorite city ever and closer than
  our beloved Honduras) to spend some time catching our breath and
  celebrating what God has done. We will be back in DFW on Thursday and
  hope to have a celebration party in the next few weeks. We cannot
  begin to thank everyone for the love and ferocious prayer that was
  sent up on our behalf. Please continue to pray for Jd’s health, that these migraines will also be healed, and please pray for safety on our trip to Boston.

  There is no doubt in our minds that God
  performed a miracle and healed Jd, and we know He heard our prayers.

  Psalm 103:1-3
  103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
  and all that is within me,
  bless his holy name!
  2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
  and forget not all his benefits,
  3 who forgives all your iniquity,
  who heals all your diseases.
