Sat 7/12

Dear Friends, Thank you for your prayers this week. It has been a busy clinic week for Erin and Bill. We are continually amazed at God's presence in our lives. I ran into a nurse yesterday who said she had been praying for Erin all along. She and I rarely see each other at work because she is in the float pool. It is so encouraging the way God places people in your path at just the moment you need a lift. We are very blessed. One of the Drs I work with even took the time out of his busy day yesterday to call and encourage Erin. Each step of the way the Lord gives us just what we need. So today we start the weekly blog. If we can survive without you!! Please continue to pray for Erin's numbers. She still is anxious to get her central line out. Also she needs energy. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sticking with us through this ordeal. It has been a tremendous support, more than I can even express. May God bless you for loving us. You have been great Disciples, obedient to His word. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. And Love your nieghbor as yourself." Blessings on you and your family. janet

Exodus 12:42
Because the LORD kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the LORD for the generations to come.

Jesus has been vigilant throughout Erin's encompassing valley, may we each continue to be vigilant in our honoring our LORD for the generations to come, and continue praying for research and development success for a one-day cure of this horrific disease so treatment won't have to be necessary!
we love you all

Erin- hope you are finally over the worst and you improve each day from now on. Please do not pick on Dad- We are limited when it comes to board games. What exactly is Skip-Bo? I expect a game at the lake in August.
Thanks to all for the blog and keeping us in touch with Erins progress. Your family is very special to all of us.
We love you Erin.

To The Blonshine Family,
Don't thank us for having faith.....we all thank YOU for your amazing faith & uplifting encouragement of ALL OF US throughout this whole ordeal! Your daily blogs of Erin's progress has been such a blessing to all who read it.
I am so thankful that Erin is at the point of cutting back to weekly updates, but am also sad to miss the daily peek into the lives of a truly incredible family.
Thank you for being such a blessing - you've inspired, motivated, & encouraged us all.
We love you Erin & can't wait to see you back at PRHS!

Blonshines:

Yes, thank you very much for allowing us to follow Erin's journey. I feel that I have gotten to close to your family through these blogs and that I have known you all for forever. I am joyous that at least you will be keeping us in the blog updates for at least once a week -- this blog is very much a part of my daily ritual so thanks so much for keeping us all "in the loop". The Blonshine Family has become a true source of inspiration and strength as I await my surgery date set for next Thursday.

Thank you all so much for demonstrating what believing in Him can do as well as trusting in him to take care of us when we are not able to take care of ourselves. You guys are a real testament to the glory of his love and his power --- truly amazing!

Erin, continue to take care and we will continue to lift you to him for continued healing as you continue your trips to the lab. We are praying for higher numbers and for continued strength. Hoping to catch you at campmeeting -- We won't be in attendance until Wednesday which will be the day before my surgery.

Glory be to the Highest! Praise Jesus from who all blessing flow!

Blessings and Prayers
In His Precious and Holy Name,
The Cotners

Erin,
We continue to pray for you daily. It has been a blessing to watch your families faith. I know it has been a long trip but hang on. You are about to step into the Promise Land. Love, The Bishop Family

Erin, although we pray for you daily, our fiercest prayer of late is that the Lord will touch you in such a miraculous way that Campmeeting would be "normal" for you this year....We know that HE is always with you......We know that HE is guiding each and every step, and no matter how long it takes, we will continue to pray for the wonderful touch that YOU have now with HIS mighty hand so near you...........WE love you sweetie!!!!

Erin,

This is Amanda Adamski. I am sorry that i haven't wrote in a long time. i haven't been home much. I miss you so much. I may not have wrote to you in a while but i have definitely been praying for you. You are such a inspiration to me. I remember when you would grade me and Chrissie's vocab quizzes and leave little note, and if you gave her a smiley face and not me i would be in shock until you drew one n my paper. heh. you are so filled with excitement and you were always interested in things everyone had to say. i love you for that.i am very pleased to hear you are improving:)

i miss you Ms. Blonshine. You will be in my prayers.

email me when you can...amanda.adamski@gmail.com

What a glorious thing to be at this point in the process of healing and restoration. I am giving thanks to God today for each of you and for the precious gift that your experinece lived out before us has been. We never wanted Erin to go through this but we are so grateful that if she did have to endure it we were there to be a witness to the strength and power of our Lord in all that happend. We continue to pray without ceasing and to give God all the honor and glory for what he has done and will do.
Love,
Sheri
