Dear friends,

Kimberly and I want to share a brief update about a new trial we are facing.  For about a month now, Kimberly has been going through a series of tests that have now confirmed that she has lung cancer.  In the next few weeks the treatment plan will be identified and started.  We are resting in the security of our loving God in this moment, enjoying the sure foundation that only He can provide.  We know that nothing happens in our lives that God does not permit or allow.  We also know that He loves us and works all things together for our good.  Therefore, we invite you to pray with us for God to be glorified in this and for all to continue to see the goodness of God in this moment.

Of course we are praying (and invite you to pray with us) for the cancer to be eradicated or driven into remission very soon.  We think that would be a great way for God to be glorified in this!  But God can and will be glorified in any way this develops – on that we have full confidence.

Also, anyone who has ever faced a difficulty like this knows that our emotions and where we focus wax and wane from moment to moment, but we want to continue to have “eyes to see and ears to hear” the goodness of God toward us every day.  Indeed, His mercies are new every morning, and we have experienced His goodness already throughout this process.  Pray we would continue to see it and acknowledge it along the way.

Thank you for trusting God with us in the days ahead.

In Christ,

Mark and Kimberly

  4. So sorry to hear Mark. Of course, we will be praying for Kimberly and yourself. Not only for healing but wisdom for the doctors and peace and strength for you and your family.

  5. You all have my thoughts and prayers. I do understand I’ve been there three times now. I’m here if you need to have someone listen

  6. Bill and I will join in prayer for Kimberly and your family. I love the verse you closed with. What a blessing to be able to experience God’s rest in the midst of trials.

  7. Our entire family will be praying with you for God’s glory and Kimberly’s good – for your whole family’s good, peace and steadfast comfort in Him.

  9. Thank you so much for the prayer. That verse is perfect for me, as I was struggling to sleep early in this process, and God used that verse to encourage me greatly.

  15. My heart goes out to you, Kimberly & Josh. Praying for eradication/remission/complete healing and continued peace . The prayers of the righteous availth much.

  17. Mark and Kimberly,

    I’m saying a prayer for all involved. You, your family, the doctors, oncologists, nurses etc. Remember that everyone’s experience is different so focus on God and what is in front of you. Many will give their experience. But that is not your experience. As you stated, each day is a new blessing.

    In him,

    Denim
