I will praise YOU in the storm........

*WARNING....THIS POST MAY START AS A DOWNER BUT IT GETS BETTER...READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH!

Well I (Alice) feel like we have been living in a monsoon lately.  However, I (try) to continue to praise God in our storm.

After this past possible match in June fell through I (Alice) was pretty down.  David was disappointed as well but for some reason I think I took it harder than him.  Anyways...we dusted ourselves off but have been hit with several other hurdles.

One being David's short term disability is up and now we are trying to get long term disability.  It basically means until the paperwork is filled out and filed we won't get an income for David.  But God is good.  We know HE will provide.  We are holding firm in the fact that He loves us and if we are faithful to HIM, HE will care for us and provide.

WELL.....  I had to call OSU transplant this morning to deal with the Long-term disability issues and David's coordinator told me that it is not her that deals with this type of paperwork BUT since she had me on the phone (she was going to call me later today) THERE IS A MATCH FOR DAVID.  They have already cross-matched the blood and it matches.  OSU has accepted the match and they are just waiting on the other centers to accept. 

I know we have been down this road several times by this point but we are once again CALLING ALL OUR PRAYER WARRIORS.......Please pray that all pieces of the chain work out.  Pray for health for ALL involved.  Pray for speedy surgery date.   I am asking for fervent prayer from everyone!

I will praise YOU in the storm.....that is my go to, my motto, my prayer.

PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYER......I am reaching out with arms raised.
Whether it works out or not I WILL PRAISE YOU IN THE STORM.

Thank you friends.....I hope I get to update date soon with confirmed GOOD NEWS!

~Alice and David


**Edit note:  Exactly a year ago this Wednesday (Aug. 5th) is when David went into the hospital and had to receive blood therefore cancelling the last transplant that was scheduled.   God's timing is perfect and clever!
