Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”
John 11:1-3

The intriguing story of Lazarus’ sickness is illustrative of faith in Jesus being acted upon by his followers in spite of very challenging circumstances.  Mary and Martha, knowing Jesus for who he is, sent word to him that the one he loves is sick.

Our prayer of faith on the amyloid journey has been the hope contained in Jesus’ response to his intercessors:

“This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”
John 11:4b

Irene and Denise (Cauwels) Haikkila had a pleasurable day, venturing out early, shopping in the city of Marina and exploring at a number of stores.  After lunch Irene settled in and enjoyed her hobbies.  Irene’s nausea remained at a low roar and her energy level was much better than the previous days have been.

We’re still anxiously awaiting lab results from UCSF.

Our longing on this colossal journey has been to bring glory to God’s Son.  Our prayer of faith is that Irene’s sickness will not end in death.  We trust in Jesus’ words, His sovereignty, and His control, despite what occurs in the days ahead.  Our hope is in God and the Biblical account of Lazarus’ life being spared.

As prayer intercessors, we thank you, in advance, for agreeing with us and believing that God’s Son will be glorified within the sovereignty of His will.

Jesus said, “this sickness will not end in death.  No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”
John 11:4b
