There's an account in Mark's Gospel that I love. It's the story of a paralyzed man, but more specifically, it's about the paralyzed man's friends. They'd heard that Jesus was in town and was healing people, so these 4 men run back to their friend, put him on a mat and each pick up a corner and run back to the house. But, by the time they got back, the house was packed and people were lined up outside. So, it says: "Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said said to the paralytic, "Son your sins are forgiven." As I was reflecting on this passage, a few things came to mind.
Katie has clipped off several good days in a row with no fevers and continuing to get stronger. We were even able to get outside for a few minutes this afternoon - her first time in 4 weeks. That was a tremendous blessing! This week, she'll continue to get her antibiotic and PT everyday, and get another round of her chemo on Wednesday. A comparatively low-key week. A couple of specific prayer requests:
Thank you for your friendship through this! In Christ, The Cobb 7

Trust in the Lord. I believe in being anointed. I've seen what God can do when you trust and believe in him.

All our prayers go to God on His Throne for Katie, you and your wife, and your other precious children. You don't know us, but our oldest goes to WMS with Katie. My husband is the youth pastor at Good Shepherd and Katie is always at the top of our Wednesday night prayer list. I know this sounds so cliche but I just wanted to remind you all that God is not dead and He is not finished with Katie, or your family! There's so much more for her and your family, to do!
