Things that make you say "hmmm.....".
Dan got a call Saturday from the social worker at Mayo. She's the one that makes sure Dan has a support system in place for living arrangements while waiting for transplant and care giver support for after transplant, things like that. Well, she called to be sure all these things are still in place for Dan now that he is "quickly getting to the top of the waiting list." Hmmm....
Adam expected to train his replacement at Kiewit, then he expected to be transferred to his next assignment, probably in another state. Amy told us this weekend that plans have changed, the "replacement" is no longer with the company, and since Adam is the only maintenance engineer with this project (with many compliments from his boss, by the way) they will be staying in Arizona longer. Hmmm...
My good friend, Joy, told me last week that she was praying for Dan recently when she received a "divine revelation" that this will be Dan's year for getting a new liver. Hmmm....
Sounds like God is orchestrating something wonderful, like a transplant soon! Thanks for your prayers for us, and especially for the one who will be giving his/her life to give Dan a liver, and for the donor's family. Father, I pray that they all are Christians and that the donor's death would be quick and painless. I am continually reminded that You gave Your Son to give me life, His death was slow, painful, lonely, shameful, illegal, unjust...but He willingly gave His life for me, for the "joy set before Him" (Heb. 12:2).
One more thing. When you pray for us, please do not pray away the circumstances of our lives, as God is using everything to make us more like Him. Prayers for endurance and courage are most welcome. Always remember, when you pray to be in the center of God's will, Jesus was at the center of God's will, and it led Him to a cross execution, the silence of God, abandoned by His friends, even his Mom experienced helplessness and despair...but only for a short time as it says "weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." (Ps. 30:5) I am utterly convinced that everything happening to Dan and me is not even about us, but for others, someone alive now or years down the line. This brings such freedom, such release from worry, an awakening to abundant possibilities, an abundant life in the midst of pain and uncertainty.
Soaring still,
Debbie and Dan

I continue to pray for Dan regularly. I ask the Lord for healing and leave it up to Him as to how he wants to do it. He can heal Dan with a liver transplant or He can restore Dan's liver to normal. Is anything too difficult for our God? He doesn't need our help in Dan's healing. He just wants us to believe and trust in Him.
