In Christ Alone

Hello everyone,
I felt an urge to write and just ask everyone to pray. My heart is very heavy today.
As some of you may know Mehgan (or friends daughter) is back in the hospital. She has an infection and her counts are very low. Her immune system is so weak that she will be there for the entire week. This is very hard on her (as she wants to be at school)as well as the rest of the family. I just ask that you pray for comfort for the Haan family during this time, and that Meghan can kick this quickly.
Also a young boy named Ethan who is in Meghan's class has also been fighting cancer for 5 years and he is at the end of his life now. His tumors are growing so fast now that they give him under a week to live. As I sit here and tears streaming down my face I can not imagine having to go through any of this with my own son or daughter. Praise God for his strenght holding them, without that there would be no hope. We know that Ethan will be healed when he passes, but we grieve with his family here on earth. It's strange because this morning I got a call from school saying that Noah had a accident on the playground and I should come and get him. The worst goes through your mind not knowing what to expect. I got there to find that he ran his face into a pole and has a huge egg on his forehead and a bloody nose. I couldn't help but think what would either of these families give just to deal with a bump and a bloody nose instead of their 11 year old children having cancer. I don't even know Ethan and his family but they have touched my heart. Please pray for comfort for this family as they grieve for their son. Also for more in depth you can go to Meghan's blog on the side here.

"No guilt in life, no fear in death -
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from his hand;
Till he returns or calls me home-
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand."


An Update - Ethan passed away this morning at 10 am. Please pray for comfort for the family.
