Tues 4/15

Good afternoon, All is well with Erin. We just got back from the clinic. Erin's central line had clotted off so they put some enzyme in it to clear it out. Love that! Don't want to jeopardize her line! Other good news, Erin's hair is growing back. Just in time to get zapped again by round 3. But hey, it's encouraging to her that is WILL grow back in time. She is so blessed. We see a lot of folks at the cancer clinic that look at her with sad eyes because she is so young. (Of course she is at an adult clinic so there are no little kids there. Now, that would be hard to see on a weekly basis.) If only they knew. She is healed by God's grace and we are so thankful. Guess we need to carry our megaphone! We could walk around shouting the good news.

"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!" Isaiah 52:7

Thanks for the prayers, please keep them coming, we need every one of them. Love, janet

I don't think you guys need a megaphone at all...you SHINE and REFLECT God's light just as clearly as can be....

LOVE YOU!

Once again Blonshine family, thanks for speaking truth and sharing the good news not only of healing and grace, but of salvation and eternal life. We are right there with you,maybe we should all get megaphones and shout from the mountain tops that we serve a Great Big God who can and will still do miracles.
Keep fighting the good fight, we love you all.

I'm so thankful that even though we do not know what the future holds, we know WHO holds the future! Just a thought that has been on my mind lately. Erin, it is so encouraging the news we have gotten lately, I can't wait until fall to see you back at PRHS! Love you! Terry

Blonshine's:

So great to hear that the hair is growing back -- just AWESOME!

We continue to praise Him for all his blessings and Grace that he has bestowed upon the Blonshine's. I am not sure a megaphone would be quite large enough to shout the news and joy that has been blessed upon you guys as its just too ginormous of amount of joy that He has given you guys! Maybe we could all three FUMC choirs to shout it to the mountain tops and across the seas as their voices are like trumpets sounding -- that could do the trick in getting the message out!

I WILL extol You, O Lord for you have lifted me up And have not let my foes rejoice over me! O Lord I cried out to you and you healed me. Psalm 30:1-2

Rejoice in the Lord, O You righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. Psalm 33:1

Continue your shouts of joy and rejoicement as we are doing the same!

With Continued Prayers and Peace,
The Cotner's

"I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith."

Even though your "race" isn't quite finished yet, you are almost there! And I can't help but think of you and your sweet family when I read that verse. You guys have more than kept the faith -- you have LIVED it for all of us to see and I am so inspired by that. Keep on keepin' on and I'll be praying for the completion of this long process,
