Marvelous in Our Eyes

Marvelous in Our Eyes

The primary amyloidosis has retreated into REMISSION and we rejoice in the Lord’s doing.  It is marvelous in our eyes.

Irene drove herself to and from dialysis this morning, where she did experience a nausea episode.  On her way home she made a Starbucks stop for her extra hot, tall, soy, green tea latte, no water, melon or foam, and four scoops of tea.  Later, she worked in the Wisteria Garden and enjoyed the balmy afternoon sun.

Being of Irish descent (ha ha), she prepared corn beef and cabbage for dinner to celebrate the tradition!!

Many of us have prayed for the amyloid to retreat into remission.  God is faithful to His promises and has graciously dispatched his answer to those prayers from Heaven.

From the rising of the sun to its setting we praise Him for REMISSION …. and it truly is a marvel to behold.

Well Wishes from Carrie Thompson

Thank You Irene … for the inspiration of your smile, which reveals your peace and perseverance in Jesus through your suffering.  I have thought of you so many times, particularly after I saw you and Dave at Long’s in Aptos.  I had so wanted to say hello but was side-tracked by a woman who wanted to complain to me about trivial things, and I felt so sad when I turned to see you had gone.

I had surgery in January this year and have been on medical leave since.  Recovery is slow, and added to some personal stresses, it has been a difficult road, but nothing compared to what you have been through this past year.  Sometimes it’s hard to trust and rest in Jesus, but you have reminded me that God is bigger than my struggles and fears.

In His Grace,  Carrie Thompson

The Abundant and Victorious Life

The Abundant and Victorious Life

Metaphorically, Irene has crested the summit and is now descending the icy mountain.  It’s still very treacherous on journey but she refuses to live less than all that God intends for her …. which is fully experiencing the reality of John 10:10:

I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

After breakfast crepes filled with blueberries, blackberries, bananas and whip cream, Irene, Carmen and Jane ventured on a shopping spree!!!!

This evening Irene and I had FUN as Greg & Vicki Jamison’s guests in their private presidential box at the San Jose Sharks Hockey game!!!

Greg Jamison, President of the San Jose Sharks, even loaned Irene his sports jacket for the entire game to keep her warm!!!

Kevin Compton, owner of the San Jose Sharks, came by to say hello ….!!!

Although life on the Amyloidosis journey still remains very treacherous and life threatening, the ultimate goal remains the same ….

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:8-9

Jesus intends for us to live the abundant and victorious life, despite facing amyloidosis and this evening’s manifestation of that life was joyfully participating as a spectator in the San Jose Sharks hockey game with friends!
