He's In...

So we thought we were getting to the hospital early to hang out before the surgery and we arrived at just before 10:00am to find that Robert was already off to surgery about 15 minutes earlier. We are so grateful he got in today but I was fighting off guilt for not getting here in time to see him off. However, despite this I was immediately flooded with God's peace and the deep assurance that even though my timing sucks, His is so PERFECT.

He went down to prep just before 10am Edmonton time, so if you are wondering when to pray your hardest, that would be now. We are hoping to see him later this afternoon, perhaps the early evening depending on how it all goes. They let him rest awhile after before bring him back to his room as well so it's hard to say when that will be.

Wear down the knees on your jeans :)

Hi Jen's Family

I just wanted to let you know that Luke and I have been praying for you guys! Jen, I have been thinking about you all day, and didn't know quite why until I decided to check the blog... now I know!

It is such a blessing to see you guys praise God despite this time in your lives. You are a testament to others who are struggling!

We will continue to pray for God's peace and healing for you... He is watching out for you!

Courtney and Luke

Just wanted to leave a note that we are praying out in Manitoba for you too. Keep being strong, and keep your spirits up.

Love you all
