Easy to preach . . . not so easy to practice
"Keep trusting God" . . . How many times have we said that to people? That is a statement that is easy to say to people, but when you are in the midst of things, it's not quite so easy to put into practice. I can't even count how many times I have said that very thing to Marty in the last few months. I'm finding in the last few days that I'm having a really hard time doing it myself. I have been trying to be the "strong one" through all of this and I'm getting really tired. Things are starting to close in around us and I know that God is the only one to get us through. I covet your prayers as we press forward. I know things have to get better because God wants the best for us. His time is not our time. We must be patient. That is a hard lesson to learn. We love you all.

Keep trusting God. Things will get better. Sometimes there has to be some hard changes made. God has a plan and who are we to try to figure things out? So keep trusting God. He is the One who is faithful.
Andy, we love you guys and are praying. Is there anything I can do for you?

Brenda - If you win the lottery, you can share!!!!! LOL Otherwise, prayer is probably the best thing! We love you too and appreciate you and your family so much.
We're praying for you guys. I know God will see you through. Love you all!
Trust is a hard lesson. From what little I've learned in my short life, I have learned that. This past year, God has been pushing blind trust at me and it's a whole lot easier to preach and teach then actually do. I love that you put the "God's timing is not our own." That is so true. We'll all be praying over here. Love you guys so much.
I'm here for you Andy if you need someone to lean on. I don't mind people venting to me either... You and marty have already survived so much in your lives and you two have solidered your way for God in the lives of so many from being the ones to send CFC greetings to feeding hungry teens both for your food and God's. He will never give you more than you can handle...so find comfort in knowing that God thinks you are a pretty strong lady...I'd have to agree (I mean after all He is God!) Love you woman. Jessica Z.

Andy,
I can't even begin to imagine the feelings that you're dealing with right now. I was just talking to someone last night about health care costs in the US, and how it seems like something that should be a good deed and an act of kindness (saving someone's life) should never come with an unrealisitc price tag. Sometimes it costs less to purchase a vehicle than it does to recieve the care needed just to live. I am continuing to pray for you guys, and for Marty's health. And if I win the lottery, I promise to be generous in my giving. (Hey, I hope to get on Trading Spouses just so that I can help) Love you guys.
