Well, the Lord continues to give our family things to pray about and so I am asking all of you to join us in lifting my brother Kristopher up in prayer. He is 30 yrs old and has a three yr old daughter named Emma. Last year after suffering with hearing loss and facial paralysis he was told he had a brain tumor. They said it was benign, but needed to come out. He underwent surgery in February of this year and considering what he had just been through he was doing great! Although they were unable to restore his hearing fully or repair his facial nerve back to normal with the help of physical therapy his balance was improving. All his doctors were encouraged by his progress. We thought his six month appt. with the surgeon would confirm what we already knew-he was doing great! The doctor gave him the news that his tumor had grown back and we all felt like we had been kicked in the stomach. Knowing that God is in control of all things I immediately started praying for the peace and comfort that only comes from knowing and trusting in Him. The Lord was not taken by surprise. He says that he works all things out for good for those who love Him. I have trouble trusting in Him fully at times, especially times like these, but I know that He is faithful and true to His word. So please join our family in praying for the Lord's good and perfect will for Kris and all the people who's lives will be touched by this. ( I will be posting an update after his surgery on Oct. 20th)
