Sunday Hymns - There is a Redeemer

There is a redeemer,
Jesus, God's own Son,
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
Holy One.

Thank you oh my father, 
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit, 
'Til the work on Earth is done.

Jesus my redeemer,
Name above all names,
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
Oh, for sinners slain.

Thank you oh my father,
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit,
'Til the work on Earth is done.

When I stand in Glory,
I will see His face,
And there I'll serve my King forever,
In that Holy Place.

Thank you oh my father,
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit,
'Til the work on Earth is done.

There is a redeemer,
Jesus, God's own Son

Precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
Holy One.

Thank you oh my father,
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit,
'Til the work on Earth is done.
And leaving Your Spirit,
'Till the work on Earth is done.

Thankful Thursday 7.25.13

~Grace that is greater than all my sin

~Mercies that are new every morning

~Trials that make me remember what is truly important and keep going before the throne of grace

~Friends who are all always there for me, even if they are many miles away

~Joyful moments

~ Boys who love Daddy's birthday more than he does

~Cupcake faces

~Roses on our anniversary

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

~Psalm 100 

July 2013 Bob DeWaay Health Update

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for my dad. He is continuing to need regular blood transfusions, but is feeling better than he was during his last treatment. Here is an update from my mom:

Bob DeWaay had another consult with the Hematologist at the U of M today and he has suggested two new drugs for Bob. The first one is Mycophenolate mofetil or MMF (CellCept) and it is to treat his red cell aplasia caused by Churg Strauss Syndrome; a rare auto immune disease. This will be the fourth treatment to try and solve this.

The 2nd drug is a new drug recently approved by the FDA to strip the extra iron out of his body that is accumulating from all of the transfusions. It is called Deferiprone or (Ferriprox). It is not supposed to be so hard on his kidneys. This is the only other drug approved in the USA so please pray the insurance company will approve it, and that it will be effective with few side affects.

On a positive note his last treatment was Atgam. It made him quite sick and weak and did not help his red cell aplasia, but it did improve his vasculitis caused by the Churg Strauss Syndrome so we are thankful for that.

We appreciate your prayers and all the encouragement you have given us. We are so thankful for all the things our family and brothers and sisters in Christ have done to help us. We know we are in the safest place we can be - the sovereign hands of our Lord.

Thank you for your continued support and prayer for my family.

Sunday Songs - What a Wonderful Savior is Jesus

What a wonderful Savior is Jesus,
what a wonderful friend is He,
for he left all the glory of heaven,
came to earth to die on Calvary.

Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
sing hosanna to the King of kings,
sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
sing hosanna to the king.

He arose from the grave, hallelujah,
and He lives never more to die.
At the Fathers right hand interceding,
he will hear and head our faintest cry.

Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
sing hosanna to the King of kings,
sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
sing hosanna to the king.

He is coming some day to receive us,
we'll be caught up to heaven above.
What a joy it will be to behold Him;
sing forever of his grace and love.

Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
sing hosanna to the King of kings,
sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
sing hosanna to the king.

Sunday Hymns - When We All Get to Heaven

1. Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
   Sing His mercy and His grace;
   In the mansions bright and blessed
   He’ll prepare for us a place.
   • Refrain:
     When we all get to heaven,
     What a day of rejoicing that will be!
     When we all see Jesus,
     We’ll sing and shout the victory!
2. While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
   Clouds will overspread the sky;
   But when trav’ling days are over,
   Not a shadow, not a sigh.
3. Let us then be true and faithful,
   Trusting, serving every day;
   Just one glimpse of Him in glory
   Will the toils of life repay.
4. Onward to the prize before us!
   Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
   Soon the pearly gates will open;
   We shall tread the streets of gold.
