Family Time!

Happy Monday! Louie and Marianne were able to spend the weekend in Southern California participating in a Cancer Walk celebrating their sister Huyen beating breast cancer and enjoying time surrounded by family. It was a meaningful and emotional time as Louie and Marianne walked hand in hand, Louie was walking as both a cancer survivor and a fighter. God was so present and continues to show up in so many little ways, reminding them of the ways He is already using this battle for His glory! 

It was such a blessing to spend time sitting together as a family in the presence of Jesus, praying for and ministering to each other. God is so good, to show us a glimpse of His great love for us through the people He gives us here on Earth. It can be overwhelming to try and comprehend how big and deep and unending His love for us is. We are thankful to see a snippet of that through family and friends who love us so well. 

The ones who stand in the gap and pray big prayers. Who call or text a word of encouragement. Who show up in the hard times and in the good. Who go above and beyond to be sure we are taken care of when we need it most. 

Thank you Jesus for the people you have placed in Louie and Marianne's life. We pray a multitude of blessings over their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Pour out your goodness and grace over them!

Here are some specific ways we would love for you to continue to pray:

-Pray for Louie and Marianne at noon on Thursday. They will be meeting with the Tumor Board for a surgery consultation. Pray for God to give the team wisdom, that they would have eyes to see all of the important details about Louie's case, for open minds to see all possible options, and confidence to move forward with what is best for Louie. Pray for Louie and Marianne to have peace and rest as they wait for this appointment. That they would not waver in their faith that God is absolutely in control! He can and will work everything for their good, because they love Him and are called according to His purpose! 

-Pray that the cancer will stay put and that the cancer cells would not multiply, that they would shrink in the name of Jesus! Louie's doctor reported the good news this evening that the PET scan did not show any distant metastasis, that the cancer has only spread to the neck nodes on both sides. Let's stand together in prayer and ask God to touch Louie's mouth and neck and bring healing that only He can. Ask that He would use the doctors and treatments available to bring healing to Louie's body. That Louie would remain strong, energized, and ready to fight this battle with all of us surrounding Him! 

Love you all, thank you for praying!

Phillipians 4: 6-7

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
