Hi Family,

Friday begins preparation treatment for my husband's Bone Marrow Transplant. The two weeks following are the critical weeks as his immune system is missing. Pray he is protected from infections of all kinds (viral, bacterial and fungus). At about the two-week mark, the transplant cells will have found their way into his marrow and begin to produce new blood, white and red cells. 

I've been pondering this amazing procedure with the Lord. Literally, Mike will receive an entirely new blood system! So new, in fact, he will be required to have all his childhood vaccinations once again. I've been praying about his new blood, his new life, what this means to the Lord and the spiritual implications of a new blood system. I'm expectant to learn and discover something divine and holy through this experience.

I've been praying for the donor. A person who offers, for free, to endure a process that harvests T-cells for a stranger in another country. I pray abundant blessings and favor upon him. This donor is an exceptional match to Mike. Mike's physician was very encouraging regarding the final outcome, the unlikelihood of rejection, and that this procedure (praying) leads to a complete cure. 

I believe. 

It's been a weird and challenging road since April 26th. But even in the unknown, I hold the Father's hand. I truly believe this. It's going to be okay. The Lord has uniquely revealed to me the end from the beginning. Although, I don't know or have details. I just rest in assurances..... It's all going to be okay. 

My dear friend, a lifetime of faith has led me to hold the Father's hand and remain in peace and hope most of the time. I've had a few melt downs, but I am secure as the chaos storm roils below my view, as I am seated in heavenly realms with Christ. This faith is also your faith. I don't know what you are facing, but I do know this.

His faithful love endures forever. Cling to His hand. Share your needs with him. Ask, seek, knock. He will direct your path and there is beauty in the madness. We find love in the moments of pain. We experience the divine and supernatural in the midst of the broken.

I adore you. Thank you for walking this journey with me. I'll try to post here again after his procedure. Blessings and hugs, Lynn
