God is not a "god" of statistics. He is an on-purpose God; an intentional God; a sovereign God. Our world lives in a world of chance, but our God is not a GOD of chance, but a God of purpose and direction.<BR/><BR/>I pray this reminder gives all of our peace to remember that our lives are in God's hands.<BR/><BR/>We love you, Kate, and trust you into God's perfect wisdom and care.<BR/><BR/>The EndraskesKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121660599674657844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37099108.post-35111834226620172152007-12-07T15:10:00.000-06:002007-12-07T15:10:00.000-06:00KateI have kept up with your blog since it started...Kate<BR/>I have kept up with your blog since it started. Lynn Pogue told me about it - I was with her in BSF for many years. Anyways, I just wanted to tell you thanks for sharing all the blessings from the last few days. You are an inspiration. I can totally tell that God is working fervently through you. Sounds like He's given you a lot of peace. I'm sure there are very stressful times, but you sound at peace. Thanks for being God's servant and being a super example for us blog readers! We're praying for you.<BR/>Stacey PreusserAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37099108.post-39790494917211244962007-12-07T14:20:00.000-06:002007-12-07T14:20:00.000-06:00You are so welcome!

Thanks to Trader Joe's of Des Peres-- the real "friendliest stores in town" for allowing us to come choose goodies on the house. <BR/><BR/>What a great evening of sharing and laughter. I'm glad we could have such a special girls' night (with Dave, too) in the midst of thes challenging circumstances.<BR/><BR/>Lots of love.

I told her that body she and I have been accused of being over-zealous, highly charged, emotionally "up" people (those of you who know her well would certainly agree that she fits this description). I told her that if the personality thing is a minor dimming of a rheostat (a dimmer switch, if you will) that she is the PERFECT candidate to have a brain tumor because she has so much personality to begin with! Even if she loses a eensy-teensy-itsy-bitsy bit of "umph," she still has exponentially more personality than the majority of humans walking this fallen world. She has ALWAYS had personality "to spare." I truly think she'll be OK in this department. Love from our household this day...I laughed when you said you were up at 4:30...I've been up since 4:45. Maybe b/c I was thinkin' 'bout YOU! (I was...praying then and now).

Trader Joe's is a good friend to have and I'm glad to say he's a friend of mine, too! :) They rock. I look forward to seeing your basket picture. It was great hanging out and just laughing. I agree, your heart holds you, so no worries. And the boys' and Dave's heart reflects you, too. So there's a lot of love and they love Mommy/Kate no matter what!! Here's a cheer to the old Stix Baer and Fuller Tea Room and to Grandmas. :) Love, StacyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37099108.post-1201040953125594452007-12-07T09:22:00.000-06:002007-12-07T09:22:00.000-06:00Kate,All I can say is WOW!!!

When Aven had radiation he was not taken to the waiting room because he was inpatient at Children's much of the time. We were taken in a back area secluded from everyone till his last week. It does sound as though there are many wonderful people down there who care. I have to agree that your personality comes from your heart so no need to worry about that. It brought a tear to my eyes as well. Thinking of you and your family. Praying for grace for the boys. <BR/>Love,<BR/>HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265539276291958467noreply@blogger.com
