Please pray!

This is a picture of Matt, Jackie and their children Dustin, Tesa, and twins Taylor and Jordyn. Jackie is the sister to Steve King, my brother-in-law. They just found out a couple weeks ago that Matt has been diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome. This is a very rare blood disease and a precursor to Acute Myeloid Leukemia. In order for Matt to be cured he is going to need a stem cell transplant, or a miracle from our Great God! They had a stem cell drive here the past couple days, looking for a match for Matt. So please pray them. Pray that they find a match soon, because time is of the essence. Pray also for continued strength and peace for the whole family. There is a long road ahead of them, but with Christ it is possible by taking it one day at a time. As it says in Philippians 4:13, we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength.

So if you are here at my blog and reading this, please just take a minute and pray. I believe, with all my heart, in the power of prayer and I know this family covets each and every one of our prayers.

James 5:16 "...The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."

1 John 5:14 "This is the confidence we have in approaching God:that if
we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if
we know that he hears us - whatever we ask -
we know that we
have what we asked of him."

Here is a link to a news clip from yesterday on Komo 4 of Matt and Jackie and their situation. Check it out.
