Hello Prayer Warriors, Here we are waiting on the Lord. Waiting on Erin's central line and waiting on chemo. Waiting on more miracles...just trying to be patient. They checked us in yesterday and told us she would get her central line placed and start chemo right away but she didn't get put on the schedule in time so she just got a regular IV and some antibiotics. She should get her line placed this morning and then we will get started. We did get a visit from the transplant Dr last night and she was very informative. She said she hopes to find the right donor soon and then they do more extensive testing on the donor candidate so they are ready when Erin gets back into remission. She thinks the timing would be 4-6 weeks. In the meantime, the chemo she will be on will last 6 days with 3 weeks of recovery. Then if all goes well, she may go home for a few days before they admit her again for the transplant. The recovery for the transplant takes a long time. Please pray for her surgery this morning for the line placement and for the chemo side effects to be minimal. We need lots of prayer! We have a battle ahead of us.
10"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should." Ephesians 6:10-20
Blessings, janet

“But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.”- 2 Thessalonians 3:3
Bear Blonshines and family, It's us - your Florida family. We are also in shock and have been praying without ceasing for you. Janet - as a Mom my heart is with you. We've got everybody in our Sunday School class praying too and of course my mom is praying. We've always said she has a "direct line" to God's ear so we know He is with you as He promised. Our families go way back to before WWII and you have so much love and prayer coming from here. Love to you all!

Waiting and hospital go hand in hand, but that does not make it any easier to endure.
Time seems to slow down when you are on hospital time I think. My prayers for things to proceed with out any further delays and that all will go according to plan!
We are praying, praying, praying over here in Lawrenceville.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bloneshine, I am writing from PRHS. I am the admin asst. First, let me say, we are all devastated at the news. We've prayed so hard for Erin and will begin again. Just like before, I know we will all be fortified by the abundant grace, mercy, and peace our Lord provides. Please let her know her school family is fervently praying for the bone marrow transplant. I am sorry to talk housekeeping, but I want to get the leave request form and FMLA form completed ASAP. It is my understanding you anticipate her being absent all of first term. We will plan only for a long term sub until we receive other communication and direction from your family. Please email me at Carla_Hill@gwinnett.k12.ga.us. I will be off from June 29-July 15. However, I will be happy to come into the office and get the forms in the mail to you if I don't hear from you by Friday. Please give her a tight hug from me. I hope she can keep that beautiful hair she has grown back. "Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him." Deut. 33:12
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Psalm 28:7 Do no fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10... These are some verses I keep close in my heart. Love you!
How and where can we get tested to see if we are a match for Erin or someone else? With continuing prayers...
We are continuing to pray for Erin and your entire family; for God to provide the right donor in His perfect timing. Stand on His promises. They never fail.
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God,the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:28-31 These were the verses in today's Upper Room devotional with the prayer "Lord, teach us to be patient when things aren't going as we want them to. Help us to wait with faith in you. Amen." Coincidence? I think not.
Blessings and peace.
Sweet Janet....my loving sister....Can I tell you, that as I read your words from Sunday..about the big ugly cry on the altar...about calling out the psych ward...I could only think of one thing....a cracked pot.....think about it a moment...God needs broken vessels to work in and through....HE's the potter...we are the clay....and as HE works upon us , in our broken states....we are just to be....cracked pots.....so, allow us as your fellow cracked pots....to stand with you...to hold your hands...and hearts in ours....as we all bow down to the Lord on HIS throne....that above all.. HE.... can do miraculous and wonderous things....and all we have to do is be just the cracked pots that we can't help but be.....
Father, we lift this child today...to YOUR throne....we each grab a corner of the bed she lays upon ...we pass her above our heads...and continue to pass her around until she reaches the foot of YOUR throne...Lord, we beg you.....to touch her......to heal her.....to once again, show us, ...mere cracked pots that we are....how mighty YOUR healing potter's hands are.....and fix our areas where we are weak....the places where the clay has grown thin.....we ask YOU Lord, to thicken us again, in those spots that have started to come undone....LORD, provide a donor...we ask for a perfect match, but we know that YOU will provide the right one..no matter how close the match is.........LORD, be with this family.......keep their "pieces" together.....and give them YOUR abundant peace......fill in and sand down the rough spots....so that the clay should thicken up and when thrown into the fire to be kilned again......finds itself repaired.........IN JESUS' NAME........AMEN>...............
Janet, just so you have it...I'm on facebook...and my email address is
