My sister-in-law Jeanette was just put on a ventilator at St Al’s Nampa. She has a fast growing mass growing behind her trachea. At this time they haven’t biopsied it to know what it is. My brother is heartbroken. They have only been married about a year and have been under heavy burdens the past year prior to this.

Ha-Young, Ye-Young, Eui-Sup, Jung-Won, In-Sook, and Eun-Tae, please pray for us and for all those who pray for us. Most people, after reflecting on what has happened in their lives, often use their own logic and focus on what they are satisfied with, saying that "God did this for me" or "this was God's will." I don’t deny these things, but the Bible teaches that before God acts according to His will, He first speaks to those He has chosen and loves. In John 14:29, Jesus tells His disciples that He speaks to them beforehand so that when things happen, they might believe. The Bible also clarifies that faith is not for everyone, and it is something we can only receive if God grants it to us. In Ezekiel 36, it says that God removes our stony hearts "from our flesh" before giving us a new spirit. He gives us a new heart and His Spirit so that we may live according to His commandments. Jesus also said, "My words are spirit, and he who keeps My commandments, he who loves Me, will be loved by Me, and I will manifest Myself to him." And His commandment is this: "Love one another." In conclusion, believing in Him and obeying His commandments depends entirely on God. He speaks to those He loves before things happen, and all blessings come from Him to those who ask. Pray that God will grant us the following: "Take our stony hearts from us and speak to us directly with Your own mouth; bring to pass all that You have decreed in our lives, so that we may see what You have done and believe what You said from the beginning; and help us all to keep Your commandments and make our dwelling with You."

Update on Chip and Kendra’s great niece, Shae: very rough night. Infection doctor came in this morning (tuesday 10/29/24) and the first culture came back as staph infection. They said it traveled to her bone and her hardware. They are struggling on what to do because her hardware can't come out until 3-6 months after surgery (surgery was 10/3/24) when she's healed, but it's infected and contaminated so she will be on antibiotics as long as she has the hardware in so 3-6 months. Her wound vac already had to be changed she's getting a ton out. They will be here until Friday (11/1/24).

Our (Chip and Kendra) 9 year old great niece is having a difficult time recovering from an extensive surgery she had on her hip/leg 10/3. Last night our niece, Kortney (our niece) had to take our great niece, Shae to the emergency room. Her incisions have been leaking; she has been fevering and vomiting. She likely has surgery this afternoon and they are staying at St. Luke’s Boise again this evening.

My husband Steve passed away this morning. Please keep me and his daughters in your prayers for peace and comfort through this next chunk of a difficult time.
