Gal 5:13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

Dear Family and Friends,

Above, Mary Lou and Butch took on some serious DIY projects while at my house last week. May the Lord richly bless them for being His hands and feet. They will gather "the fruit that abounds to your account" (Phil. 4:17).

I am very excited about the Calvary Chapel Women's Ministry study of the Book of Philippians. I miss being there in person but am very glad that I can get the teaching on-line and do the study at home. In the overview, I was particularly touched by Paul's encouragement for me to live my life with humility and self-sacrifice, seeking the mind of Christ. Philippians is a very timely reminder for me to live a life of joy in spite of a deep trial (Paul in Roman chains and Jane in multiple myeloma).

Medical Update:

1) I'm in the middle of round three of chemo. Thanks to the many friends who are taking care of transportation.
2) My right foot is still swollen but I think it may be going down slightly.
3) My new sleeping tablets (Lorazapam) seem to be working well with no nightmares.

Praise the Lord for giving me:

1) The ability to take care of my laundry, cooking, and watering the yard.
2) The capabiity to still read.
3) Very few chemo side effects. No nausea.
4) A change of diet (raw and steamed organic fruits and vegetables).
5) Neighbors and friends who have volunteered transportation, time and labor.

Please pray that the Lord will:

a) Magnify His name through my trial
b) Do what radiation and chemo cannot do
c) Give me wisdom to know my physical limitations
d) Open my heart to His Word and help me apply it to my life

God is good and everything He does is good. If we could imagine standing face-to-face with our Savior, knowing that our sins have been forgiven, we will be overwhelmed by His goodness.

Thank you for praying.

With His loving arms around you,

Jane
