I just heard the wonderful news about remission. Praise the Lord!
Irene and Dave,
What an AWESOME LORD we serve!!! We are so full of praise to read this wonderful news! We know the Lord’s timing is perfect and that He leaves nothing undone…we trust fully that He will continue His good work as you move through the process of kidney treatment/transplant. We will continue to pray the nausea will be fully removed and that the Lord’s hand will be in every detail as you work through this new phase of nephrology treatment.
Praying you have a wonderful and restful weekend rejoicing in the wonders of God’s amazing work…Thank you for letting us be a part of witnessing it and for especially for your faithfulness, such a testimony of the truth that “the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well”!
In Love,
Steve and Sue Azevedo
I want to live like there’s no tomorrow
I want to dance like no one’s around
I want to sing like nobody’s listening
Before I lay my body down
I want to give like I have plenty
I want to love like I’m not afraid
I want to be the man I was meant to be
I want to be the way I was made
The lyrics of this inspiring Chris Tomlin song have been mentioned on the website in the past. They are mentioned again because they are compelling and speak so powerfully to the concept of FREEDOM.
Irene’s blood pressure dropped dramatically again this morning during dialysis treatment and she arrived home thoroughly exhausted and rested for the balance of the afternoon. Her nausea was fierce and she was very, very itchy. Tomorrow we leave early for a long day at UCSF, consulting with the vascular team related to vein mapping for the fistula procedure as well as that of Dr. Damon, her primary care physician as it relates to the Primary Amyloidosis.
Absolute FREEDOM won’t necessarily come from a “free fall”, a “space walk”, or even a “democratic” political process, but, rather, FREEDOM comes through TRUTH and a relationship with God Himself, who claims that He is TRUTH and “that truth” will set us free.
…. the truth will set you free.
John 8:32b
As the movie title goes, we were “Born Free”, and we long to be FREE indeed, both, of and in this world as well as for all of eternity. As Irene looks forward to being “freed” of Primary Amyloidosis, she rests in the promises of God in His Word ….
…. if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36
…. and that’s a promise we are counting on.
Caminando con Fé
