Your prayers have been felt and heard. The Lord is bringing healing!!!!!!<br />
<br />
"Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.<br />
Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.<br />
For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee."<br />
~Isaiah 41:11-13<br />
<br />
These are the verses the Lord gave Daddy during this cancer ordeal, and they have been very TRUE.<br />
<br />
The last bone scan came back clear, with no new lesions! This was a first!!!! The existing lesions are all healing or healed, and he is able to use his hands and right arm again, as well as being able to get around without a wheelchair. As of yesterday, he is finished with regular chemo treatments and will now remain on a maintenance dosage. Thank you for your continued prayers as the journey continues! He is steadily improving and gaining strength. God is faithful. He has been very near, more than ever before, through the storm and darkness and pain. He does ALL things well!<br />

I am so thankful for God's faithfulness. In every situation, He is here. Be still and know Him. This is LIFE! Knowing Him! Daddy's health is more stable and he is still undergoing chemo. Thank you all for your prayers!!! God is working through them!<br />

At his last appointment they discovered several more lesions on his bones, and found that one of them was preventing his broken arm from healing.<div>
Today he started chemo and radiation pinpointing the main lesions on his knee and shoulder. Please pray that this will kill the cancer cells, and that he will not have the usual side effects of these traditional treatments. </div>

The cancer Daddy has is rare- about 150 cases a year- so there is not a lot of information to guide decisions. There are treatments that look promising, and choosing which way to go is where we are. Meanwhile, Daddy is stable, looking to God for the answers, and walking out what faith really is: moment by moment dependence on God. God is here, IN the waiting, and more and more I see that that is the point. Knowing God!<div>

(Oh wait, that's how He tends to do things, huh?) He has led us to a doctor who is familiar with cases like Daddy's, and who has given us more information and a better working plan than we've had thus far. Praise God! We are confident that God will continue to show Himself faithful, as He always has! Thank you for your prayers!<br />

I know many of you want to stay updated so you will to know how to pray, and that means so much to us right now! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Believe it or not, we really do not know much more than the last time I posted. There have been more tests and more appointments, more lesions and more damage, but no more answers. The doctors are puzzled, but God is not!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, our specific prayer requests are:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~Healing</div>
<div>
~Clear direction for the next step</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I personally am very comforted and held by God in the middle of this storm, and have never found him to be so REAL and near. He has not brought us this far to leave us now, and He knows exactly what the next step is. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
set yourselves, stand ye still, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and see the salvation of the LORD..." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~II Chronicles 20:17</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thank you for praying, believing He is hearing and answering!</div>

We are amazed, humbled, and so very thankful for you!!! <br />
<br />
The surgery to repair Daddy’s arm went as planned and he is recovering well from it. There are many unknowns right now, but what we do know is that some form of multiple myeloma is responsible for the bone lesions. The two main concerns now are:<br />
<br />
1. Structure, preventing any further injury to compromised bones.<br />
2. Cancer, identifying and treating it.<br />
<br />
The Lord has opened doors and directed decisions this week in a way that reassures all of us that He is HERE, in the storm! Thank you for continuing to pray with us as we find out what’s next.<br />

Then about 3 weeks ago, they found several lesions on his leg and shoulder, and have been trying to determine exactly what they are. They said it was definitely something that attacks bone, But none of the tests have been telling for sure what it is. Then on Monday afternoon he was working and was going to throw something, when he did though, it broke the bone in his right upper arm that was weakened from the lesion. It actually twisted the bone in half so it will have to be operated on to reset it. So all that said, surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 6 am. Your prayers will be greatly appreciated and needed! And thank you to all that have been praying for us! <div><br></div><div>PS.

For some reason I had it in my head that Old Faithful was more weird than beautiful, if that makes any sense? Probably not. I thought, “hot water shooting out of the ground, that’s wild, I hope we don’t get singed, how does it DO that?” This was before I saw it. WHEN I saw it, I thought, “OH MY WORD THIS IS AMAZING AND GOD HOW DID YOU THINK OF THIS AND HOW CAN WATER BE SO BEAUTIFUL AND WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE????” (with apologies to the staid Baptists of my ancestry.) The pictures so, so, so do not do it justice….but I didn’t see any way to click and drag the real thing here so you’ll have to go see it for yourself sometime. (Random side note: when you do, try to find a spot next to a charming family from England, WITH BRITISH ACCENTS, like I did. It’s like a two for one special. “Oh look, mum!” MUM! I was so living it up that day.)</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-IySP9pxlxE0/VCc6gQ_DfGI/AAAAAAAAB9c/2OkyKIASd9U/s1600-h/IMG_7180%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7180" style="border-top: 0px;

This post does not in anyway fully capture the incredibleness that is YSNP, nor does it include the hours of quality time in the van, in which there was much singing and laughter and debates and photo bombing and games and jokes and general noisemaking. The Jeep party, comprised of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Seth and Allie, I’m sure was a much calmer experience. Our party was comprised of a seven year old, six teenagers, Luke, and a certain person who gets carsick and has major ADHD when confined to a vehicle (sorry y’all), and of course my sainted parents.

Yesterday we had the privilege of riding 4 wheelers with our friends the Smiths and some awesome locals (who graciously provided most of the bikes...thank y'all so much!) It was epic, especially for us lowlanders who don't do a lot of stuff in "real mountains". Photo creds to Luke, Jacob, and Logan...please enjoy!</div>

It's me again. A mere 20 seconds after sharing the previous post, a couple of the brothers were looking at the blog on Jake's phone and I was suddenly aware of the outraged protest: " The Buck! Where is the picture of The Buck? You didn't post The Buck! How could you NOT post a picture of The Buck????" <div><br></div><div>Now, be it known that I have a healthy appreciation for Bucks and their intended purpose. I'm especially good at using them judiciously...ie, "this dress is only three Bucks!" (Whilst shopping at Goodwill). I even like male deer, and I think their antlers are pretty. But I apparently made the sad mistake of overlooking The Buck while choosing pictures to share with y'all. For this I offer no explanation, a heartfelt apology, and without further ado, may I present to you....The Buck.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXZjFBTfKQpC0qlWRgOSgN-Aop4_YFze2jAB76Ru_VSoudCryyGI99zWc4X3Ktvedd_2ERYiq24M9kmuqPV0xQ1d5uE5yrZUIaRE_TJi_BqMG3eSpyqdhEgokApecqX0rLGXHH9pSc9KpU/s640/blogger-image--883973312.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

So yesterday our dear friends here in Wyoming took us to beautiful Jackson Hole (an hour and a half away) to shop, see the sights, and in general "conquer the territory" as the brothers would say. We loved it! Unfortunately I don't have pictures handy of everything (the other pics are on various sibling's iPhones and I <strike>would hate to bother them</strike> am too lazy to get them to email them to me. Confession is good for the soul, right? So maybe later. Meanwhile, I give you what photos Jake's camera captured...<br />

Enter the buffalo. (The huff&blow, as the photographer took a shine to calling him.) We were driving merrily down this gorgeous mountain road and saw said creature grazing near the shoulder. Both vehicles stopped, and from the first one I watched as the brothers exited the other, crossed the road, and started snapping pics from 20 feet away. Then my sweet friend (name withheld so as not to incriminate Dana Smith) mentioned the fact that buffaloes, when angered, are fond of charging/goring/trampling/killing people to death. And I was like, <i>Oh Lord, please! Not while I'm watching! </i>It was a trying time, my friends.* Thankfully God granted my request and all of my beloved brothers are still with us. All that said, they did get some nice pics, wouldn't you say?<br />

Well, there you have it. I am literally in awe of God's artistic abilities here... the pictures don't do this place justice!<br />

*<span style="font-size: x-small;">For those who care, a transcript of Jake's and my text conversation after the buffalo experience:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">J: Dad wouldn't let me get close enough to that stupid huff&blow!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">L: I'm so thankful he did not gore you and trample you and rend you into pieces. I was dying inside.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">J: He's no more dangerous than Papaw's bulls.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">L: Um, yes he is. 1) he's wild and 2) he outweighs them by like 50000 tons. Or pounds or whatever.</span><br />

We leave early* tomorrow morning, Lord willing, for the great state of Wyoming…uncharted territory for us! As much as I love the South in general and Mississippi in particular, by this time of the year I’m more than willing to leave it behind in search of cooler places. </p> <p>(“Broiling” would be not too strong a term for describing the summer months around here, people. Long live swimming pools, muddy creeks, watermelon, and Gatorade…air conditioning too of course!) </p> <p>So yes, we can’t wait to hit the road and see what adventures God has in store along the way. We’ll be visiting friends, playing a gig or two, overnighting it at Yellowstone….and I’ll TRY to update the blog here and there while we’re at it. We appreciate any and all prayers for safe travel, and we pray God blesses each of you as you move into a new season and continue to live for him each day!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-9mMNkeeGofI/VAiMRMQAwfI/AAAAAAAABzs/Yvcsk3catVY/s1600-h/IMG_0983%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_0983" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_0983" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-6cqd8Zkm3bY/VAiMSUTta1I/AAAAAAAABz0/saj63pQkAzo/IMG_0983_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="476" height="321"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-z5ImvUDPqaE/VAiMT6OSG7I/AAAAAAAABz8/0hPpiwS9on8/s1600-h/IMG_0985%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_0985" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_0985" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Rp06cLYix5o/VAiMVpxtKsI/AAAAAAAAB0E/85b3ODz1KOo/IMG_0985_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="479" height="323"></a></p> <p>*There is some confusion in our family over what constitutes “early”. There are those who contend that a departure must occur before 4:00 am to be considered early, while others argue that anytime in the forenoon hours is plenty early enough. Then there are those, eager to be on our way, who suggest we leave “early” as in the evening before. All of the above suggestions have been tried at various times over the years, and still the debate continues. Not that it matters, as we seem to arrive late no matter when we leave. What do y’all think? What does early look like at your house? :)</p> The Wilsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02826402302211111835noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963807535013112.post-73367347620134640712014-08-15T11:22:00.001-07:002014-08-15T11:22:37.067-07:00As I was saying…<p> </p> <p>Wait, I don’t remember what I was saying. All I know is, a long time and 40,000 texts and emails saying “why don’t you blog anymore” later, here I am again. <em>And a whole lot of life has happened in the intermission, my friends. </em>I’m not even going to say I’m sorry ‘cause it’s really lame and y’all are tired of hearing it, so let’s just jump right into a quick recap, shall we?</p> <p>Most of you probably know about my dad’s health issues of the last year or so…chronic, worsening neck and shoulder pain that eventually led to losing the use of his arms, all while trying to diagnose the root problem. An MRI finally showed a tumor at the base of his neck, which was quickly removed, tested, and proved malignant. The mass had eaten away at two of the vertebrae in his neck which explained the pain and strength loss (funny, I know. I mean, a broken neck, what’s the big deal? <em>I kid</em>.) In the middle of figuring out treatment options and recovering from surgery, we were and are so thankful for God’s timing and grace… the doctor who performed surgery said that had he waited 3 weeks longer, quadriplegia would have set in. God’s grace has been all over us through the past several months of radiation treatments (finished now!) and recovery…he’s regained the use of his arms and is steadily gaining back his overall strength. I don’t even know how to start saying thank you to all of you amazing people who let God bless us through your prayers, gifts, visits, encouraging words, and everything else….God bless each of you for your love and generosity! We are so thankful for each of you and feel privileged to call you friends. We continue to trust God for complete healing and thank him for his mercy thus far!</p> <p>Around and through and between all of that….life happens! We’ve divided our time between home and travel this year…prison ministry in Alabama and South Carolina, random quick stops in Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, and Kentucky, homeschool conference in Texas, concerts and a friend’s wedding in Arkansas. Lord willing, we hit the road next month headed for the big beautiful state of Wyoming…I can’t wait to experience it for the first time! At home, in between work and church and local gigs and marrying off our cousin (whom I miss like crazy…love you Hannah!!!), we’ve been blessed with friends coming to visit from all over…Arkansas, Wisconsin, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, even Hawaii. So many fun memories…thanks to all of you for stopping by! </p> <p>And now, the place where I ought to wrap up with a promise to blog faithfully from now on. Only, I’m kinda scared to do so ‘cause I might not do it and then it would be a lie and have you read the Ninth Commandment? So how about this instead: “I promise to attempt to try to succeed in getting blog posts published oftener than twice a year, considering the fact that <em>I </em>am the person who started this blog in the first place and that it’s really lame to tell people who ask, yeah, we have a blog…knowing that when they visit it they’ll be transported back in time to the hazy history of our family instead of reading current events like they do on <strike>normal </strike> other people’s blogs.” I try, people, I really try. Bless my heart! So that we don’t end on this pathetic note, I give you random photos from a recent just-before-a-concert sibling shoot…</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jLWJQ6HRpho/U-5PmmBhYaI/AAAAAAAABxc/WPLWwgtA1OY/s1600-h/038%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img title="038" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="038" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-chEIWCMB094/U-5Po7lb4LI/AAAAAAAABxk/AGyaYjfM0tQ/038_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="324" height="484"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-wW6Saef7XMI/U-5PqfPmCII/AAAAAAAABxs/gOJO_pmttFo/s1600-h/047%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="047" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="047" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-1SAa0QGUiXU/U-5Pr6QUZrI/AAAAAAAABx0/eWDEPWb6LR4/047_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="431"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-eHHlzqL51mk/U-5PtrPHKVI/AAAAAAAABx8/ZtbBWrQ0o1w/s1600-h/050%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="050" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="050" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-b-vOvieHshU/U-5Pv3gXXyI/AAAAAAAAByE/qgWkDP0VAWw/050_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="431"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-njfVyv5f-wg/U-5PzO-hlJI/AAAAAAAAByM/VQDX9Fn6TI4/s1600-h/041%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="041" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="041" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YvwCTjksuvw/U-5P1I_BWoI/AAAAAAAAByU/3sUKe0FuA9Q/041_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="431"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-9TF7DhIARH8/U-5P27jG6KI/AAAAAAAAByc/1EFD2eHqsTs/s1600-h/042%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="042" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="042" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-cyB3CTeGEoM/U-5P567lKjI/AAAAAAAAByk/7zmERLDq1uo/042_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="324" height="484"></a></p> The Wilsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02826402302211111835noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963807535013112.post-16904148926532242822014-01-20T14:32:00.001-08:002014-01-20T14:32:50.289-08:00Rewind....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A few years ago our church came up with the idea to host an annual event called "Eternal Hunt"... a one day shebang involving skeet shooting, rifle range, slingshot competitions, yummy food, etc... all in a setting of Christian fellowship and involving a challenging/inspiring devotion brought by one of the men. It's been a lot of fun... here are the pictures from this year's event!</div>

Once again, my dear brothers are wanting me to post pictures of their latest
trophy… so here they are, along with my (only slightly edited) journal entry

<i>From my journal…October
13, 2013<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, this lovely Sunday afternoon I set off for the woods on
a haycorn-collecting adventure. <i>(Note: I know
the correct name is ‘acorn’. However, Winnie the Pooh has always called them
‘haycorns’ and since I believe he would really know best on the subject, and
since I find the word ‘haycorn’ hilariously adorable, so I shall call them too.
</i>Humor me.<i>)</i> Anyways, I wanted some
haycorns to use for a ridiculously adorable Fall decorating idea I found
recently, and so I convinced Luke to accompany me. <i>(Note #2: Luke is a pretty fabulous brother, in case anyone was looking
for fabulous-brother-examples or anything. Of course, ALL of my brothers are
awesome, but this story is about Luke. Just to clarify.)</i>Anyway, we went off
to look for haycorns. Where was I going with this? Well, we went down to a
little hollow in the woods below the pond and started picking up haycorns by
ones and twos and threes (I had imagined we would scoop them up off the ground
with my basket, as one would draw water from a stream, but I was disappointed.
Apparently it has not been a bumper year for haycorns.) The mosquitoes in the
woods near said pond were both ubiquitous and malicious, and I began to hear
myself complaining (forgetting that I was the reason we were out there in the
first place, I suppose.) Hearing my complaints, Luke, ignoring the fact that I
was the reason we were out there in the first place, kindly led the way across
the field to another haycorn-producing plot of woods, where we proceeded to
fill (the bottom of) my basket and talk about various subjects of interest.
After awhile, we were headed back in the general direction of home when Luke
suddenly stopped still. (Being a mere step behind him, I stopped still too –
with my chin in his shoulder blade.) “Turn around”, said Luke calmly, just as I
looked over his shoulder and beheld one of those cursed-by-God, devilish
creatures known as snakes – a Copperhead, in this instance. I was “turned
around” and walking rapidly away before you could blink, only in my excitement
I walked into a tree. Once Luke had led me around it, I hitched up my skirt and
my basket of haycorns and <s>ran like fury</s> flew gracefully back to a little
clearing where I felt safer. And there I stood, holding my precious haycorns,
praying that God would send the snake a heart attack (I honestly prayed that)
and watching as Luke located a big stick. I ascertained that he meant to kill
the snake with the stick. I informed him that I wasn’t sure what to do if the
snake bit him during the battle. He cheerfully told me to cut off circulation
above the wound, and commenced the killing. I turned around (still hugging my
basket of haycorns) and moaned for a while, praying that God would not let Luke
get bit by a snake while on a haycorn-expedition of my planning. God answered
said prayer, and Luke presently informed me that the snake was dead, but still
thrashing, and didn’t I want to come see it? (I didn’t.) Whereupon <i>I</i> thought we should go home, but Luke
pulled out his cellphone and took pictures of his “trophy”. Then he called the
house and asked Levi (our aspiring taxidermist) if he wanted a three-foot
Copperhead to mount. He did, so we proceeded to the edge of the woods (Luke
carrying the snake on a stick, me prancing 20 feet ahead and telling him not to
come any closer) to wait for Levi to come pick us (me, Luke, snake, and
haycorns) up in the truck. Only, Levi had gotten the wrong impression as to
where exactly on the 350-acre place we were and went the wrong way, driving
around for a time whilst we stood there, Luke guarding snake, me holding
haycorns, listening to the truck ambling through the woods in the distance and
wondering why Levi hadn’t brought a phone. Finally, seeing the truck down on
the road, we walked halfway, flagged him down, piled in the truck, and drove
back to where we had left the snake. I remained in the truck with my haycorns
while the boys put the snake (now dead, stiff, and stinky) in the back, and we
headed home. And all the other guys came out to see the trophy, and I gathered
up my basket of haycorns and brought them inside to decorate with and we all
(except the snake) lived happily ever after. <i>The end.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

If you are asking, Why are YOU posting this?... it's because the brother in question particularly wanted me to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And since, (when he's not messing around with one of the most venomous snakes in North America*), he's a <i>really nice</i> brother, I didn't want to say no.</div>

But be it known, <i>I hate snakes.</i>I'm not a theologian, but in my opinion, when God places a curse on something we would all do well to stay FAR AWAY from said thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
