Greetings family and friends,
I am so happy that we "have a savior who does not shake his head in disgust at my weakness, but compassionately acts on my and your behalf instead." Think about that.........He acts on our behalf and is not disgusted by our weakness.....WOW, now that is awesome!!!!
I would confess with my mouth that I knew the Lord as Jehovah Rafa (Lord God Our Healer). Lately though, He has been showing me what that really means. Now I have it in my heart. HE is Jehovah Rafa, LORD GOD YOUR/MY HEALER. I know He is healing my body. I know I will be restored completely. I do not know how long it will take but I am thanking HIM for the healing He is doing. So please thank Him also. I hope you all can understand what I mean. Sometimes it is hard to convey everything in an email.
Jeremiah 33:3 says 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.' Call to Him. He wants you to spend time with Him. He has so much to show and tell you.
I did get results back from both scans. And they both showed pretty much the same thing. So in the future if I find it necessary to have another scan I will choose to have the thermography. Various lymph-nodes are showing up inflamed. And that is what I am feeling on my chest and underarm. They are not metabolically active, which means that the cancer is encased. Praise God for that!
The risks outweigh the benefits for Tamoxifen. I will not be choosing that route, nor the other routes of surgery and chemo.
Through anonymous and non anonymous donations from some of you all.......I was and am able to have some labs done, thermography scan, Dr's. visits, and get back on some of the things I was on before and add some new ones also. So thank you all soooooo much. My heart goes out to all of you and I know that God is going to bless you too. Please know that you have blessed my family and I so much. Your prayers are greatly felt and heard also.
James is still unemployed. But that has truly been a blessing also. It has been very nice to have him home. The children and I all love it. Our plans are not God's plans! If we knew His plans for us most of us probably would not go. All our bills have been paid this month! On paper you can look and go how? But that's what is neat about God too because He is bigger than that. At this point we are living on FAITH like we have never had to before, But God is doing amazing things. And He is even allowing us to see some of it along the way.
Again, thank you all so much for your support, encouragement and loving on my family at this time. We are so blessed.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Pray for direction, more divine apts. and discernment. And please pray for God to bless Servis Guitars and my Juice Plus+ business. Let us know how we can pray for you. Matt 18:19-20 says "19 Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."

With much love,
Aubree

Hello family and friends,

We did get snow!!!!! Probably about 10 in. or so. The kiddos love it and it does look so pretty. Another way for God to show us how creative He is.

This Wed. @1pm EST I will have a scan. This will tell whether there is more cancer in my body and where it is. It takes about 1 week to receive any results.

Next week I will have the thermography scan. Doing these close together will give us the comparison between the two. God has blessed us with donations (some anonymous) to be able to do this scan too! Glory be to HIM.

I do want to say thank you soooooooo much to whomever (s) out there who have donated out of obedience and a giving heart to help us. God does use us for each other this way too. It is so hard though to be on the receiving side.

Thank you all for your prayers. I know God does love to hear His children speak to Him. And then when more people are praying and hear the work that He is doing He receives more glory. And He loves that. It is for His glory that we live. I am happy that James and I made the decision to tell you all about this because more of His children are speaking to him and He is answering your prayers. So please continue to speak to Him.

I pray that through this He will use my family and I to draw more people near to Him. I also pray that He will show you all even more of whom He is.

Waiting for healing with expectancy,

Aubree
