Another great report!

Just got back from Stanford and Dan's appointment with his doctor. His CT scan yesterday revealed no new growth in his liver "spots"or pancreas. He does have dense areas in his liver that may be remnants of the dead tumors or scar tissue but they are virtually unchanged from December's or April's scans. That is wonderful news! The next scan will be in 4 months. Dan starts his teaching credential program in September at UC Irvine while Ashley finishes her last year of nursing school at Biola. No further changes on his hip necrosis were seen on the CT also. Thank You Lord for a great report! Thank you for your prayers.

Psalm 111
Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
Great are the works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.
Full of splendor and majesty is his work,
and his righteousness endures forever.
He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and merciful.
He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever.
He has shown his people the power of his works,
in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy;
they are established forever and ever,
to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
He sent redemption to his people;
he has commanded his covenant forever.
Holy and awesome is his name.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!

Dan and Ashley made it home today. Dan is having a bad bout of nausea today. Would appreciate your prayers for him. I find my strength and comfort in the Word of God. Isaiah helps me to look to the time when we will be rejoicing with great joy as we see His Face and all wrongs are made right:
I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise
spring up before all nations.
Isaiah 61:10-11
