Hebrews 7:25 "Therefore He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them."

Dear Friends and Family,

Aren't blog spots wonderful? I can keep everyone up to date and also hear back from you. How cool. Of course, all along we have had "God spots" from the Bible, giving us encouragement and promises beyond our understanding.

I appreciate your feedback; it is such an encouragement to me.

Medical News (OK, if you have a light stomach, skip this part):

1) We are currently at the Kabuki Hotel in Japanese Town, San Francisco. Sushi is not my favorite but my oldest son, Zac, loves it. From the hotel, my family takes me to out-patient care for chemo and radiation. This coming Tuesday afternoon, UCSF will insert a port in my neck so that the chemo and radiation can be given more easily.
2) The doctors are also giving me something for the nauseau and something to help me sleep. I was at the Olive Garden Friday night after my first chemo treatment and fell asleep while eating Chicken Marsala - can you imagine! Quite embarrassing since it was sooooo delicious.
3) For the next five weeks, my out-patient care will be Monday through Friday in San Francisco and I hope to come home to my house in Modesto on the weekends. As long as you or any member of your family is not sick, and you want to come over for a visit, please give me a call at (209) 204-1498 to arrange a short visit. I'm not really up for long visits but would love to have short ones, laying my eyes on each of you.

Please pray that:

1) The Lord will heal me
2) I continue to rely on the Lord
3) All glory will go to His name
4) I will have plenty of opportunity to share with people about the Lord

"The Bow in the Cloud or Words of Comfort for Hours of Sorrow (1880) by John Ross McDufff''

"Do not trouble yourself regarding an unknown and veiled future; but cast all your cares on God. God proportions His grace to the nature and the season of the trial. He does not forestal or advance a supply of grace, but when the needed season comes, then the appropriate strength and support are imparted. He does not send the rainbow before the cloud, but when the cloud appears, the rainbow is seen in it.

Present grace is enough for present necessity. Trust God for the future. We honor Him not by anticipating trial, but by confiding in His faithfulness and crediting His assurance, that no temptation will be sent greater than we can bear. Even if you should see fresh clouds returning after the rain, be ready to say, "I will fear no evil, for You are with me." See written over every trying hour of the future, "So shall your strength be."

It's a beautiful day here in San Francisco, sunny and bright, and of course, cool. This wasn't exactly the summer I thought I'd be having this year but the Lord knew long ago.

Love to all of you,

Jane
