Reminding myself that This is the Day the Lord Has made and I will Rejoice and be glad in it


It is an incredibly beautiful day outside. It has been snowing sometime now. We are expecting 6 inches of snow and yet I am looking at it from an ICU window as my beloved is laboring for every breath. My wonderful, brave husband who has fought so hard and is continuing to surpass time lines even now. Oh how I love him.


Mike aspirated during the procedure and things went down hill from there. He has had a few seizures, but he is clinging to Jesus. The second to the last thing he said is, "Ok Lord, the Battle belongs to you."

Elizabeth has been with us through it all. The nurses brought in a bed and she slept in the ICU room with us. She is a brave soul and brings laughter and joy. She went outside and collected snow and made a snowman for Daddy.


We love you and please pray that Jesus does the "parting of the Red Sea Miracle". I still believe He can.


Praising for one more day together as a family.

May the God of infinite mercy surround you with love, may He lift you and comfort you with His loving arms. May the incredible truth of His divine mercy bring you peace. We are praying for a miracle along with you.

Praying for the miraculous to occur, and for the hearts of all involved...including that young lady in the photo who might be a bit TOO creative!? ;)

Love to you all...

Deanna,
How wonderful and remarkable that you can say "This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it". God is obviously answering so many many prayers for you to have that trust and obedience! PTL for the snow so Elizabeth could show her stuff! She is SUCH A BLESSING from God! XOXO Gini

Dear, Mike, Deanna, and Elizabeth, I am with you in spirit, even though, not physically right now as is, I believe, everyone who has been praying for you throughout your ONE VALIENT FIGHT against spiritual forces, cancer and its effects.
Love, Pam Clark

Dear Deanna and family,

I just saw a link for your blog on Facebook. (I knew you in Tucson). I had no idea you, Mike and Elizabeth were facing this challenge. We will begin praying for you all right away.
We just went through the whole cancer thing with my dear, beautiful sister, so my heart aches deeply for you. May you continue to feel God's presence and peace - how He cares for you!
Sending our love,
Krista Croft (and Randy, JD, Jake, and Allison too)

Same here in Omaha, Deanna. Many Bonemen and their families are petitioning the Lord on behalf of your family. He loves the three of you more than any of us can imagine, and has a plan for each of you. Peace and healing be with you all.

Love,
Jon & Shelley
