Sat 2/23

Dear Prayer Warriors,
Thanks for the prayers, we feel them. Our day has been quiet, just watching TV, walking on the treadmill and reading. It is a different kind of cabin fever than the hospital, it's peaceful but boring none the less. Erin has always been such a busy girl, the mall is calling her hourly to see where she is. She is just so scared to go anywhere because the flu is rampant and her numbers are still too low to be out there. The youth are having a prayer service for her tomorrow night and she really would love to be there but just can't. Know that she will be there in spirit. She is so grateful for all the prayers sent up for her. God is working!! Please pray for her marrow to fully recover so we can get this second round underway and get on with the healing!! I just know remission is close!!
We love you!! janet

Good afternoon friends!!!,,,I hear you sister Janet...speaking of remission.....that's been on my lips in prayer as well...and like you I feel that it is so very very close...almost to the point to where we could just reach out and grab it and hold on to it...and feed it to dear sweet Erin.....but for now...until it is close enough to touch...we will continue to feed her the precious and life giving WORD OF GOD!!!....Father, continue to nourish this precious family with Your Holy Word..and YOUR Mighty presence.....Father, surround them ...and let YOUR Word flow in their hearts...and their minds...and continuously from their lips.....Lord, bless them in this task.....bless them in the place that they stand right now Father.......IN JESUS' PRECIOUS NAME.....AMEN....

Lord, I love you and thank you for Erin's mom, Janet. I thank you for her faith and honesty that are so clear in this blog. I pray that you would make this extra time at home an integral part of your plan towards remission! I pray that Erin's numbers will go up and that you will continue to prepare her for the next stage of chemo. Thank you for her determination and drive to do all she can to build her strength...including trusting in you. Let them feel the prayers of so many and the youth tomorrow. And don't let it fade. Let the Blonshines be surrounded by loving family and friends praying and serving. Again, I pray for your perfect timing and the assurance that your plan far outshines our plans. Thank you for my wonderful sister in Christ, Erin and for her awesome God-fearing family. This family is a blessing to so many, and you are glorified in this blog and in their faith. Amen.

Love, Brittany

Numbers 6:26 NAS
The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace .'

Erin, may you feel the peace that the Lord promises even as you must so patiently wait.

Janet and Bill, David and I were especially thinking about you Thursday night as the mission team packed for Honduras...(they leave tomorrow...I'm not able to go but David is)..remembering last year with you guys. Boy does time fly! If you don't already have Honduras on your prayer map, you can add it!

Much love,
Vicki

"let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."
Galatians 6:9
I read this verse this morning and thought of you guys, because right now you all are "doing good", physically and spiritually. The good you've done through this blog we may never fully know, what a witness the whole family has been!
Though the wait is hard, Erin you're doing good! Your body is slowly being healed, you're getting stronger every day! So don't lose heart while you wait, because God has promised that in "due season" (His timing) you will reap!
We love you bunches! Aunt Debbie

Dear cousin Erin,

We have never met before, but in our hearts and in our thoughts we have been together on this difficult journey.
GOD bless you and your family, gives you strength and courage to overcome this lifetime obstacle.
Hang in there.
