God is doing a new thing in our family!

As many of you know Kim has Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibro Myalgia. This has caused her severe pain over the years!  Kim has had doctors treat her pain with various and ever increasing narcotics and while Kim has never taken anything that wasn't prescribed for her over the past 8 years it has been a bondage for her.

We started this year with a 40 day prayer experiment where we challenged our church to pray for something only God could do, something specific. Kim health was at the top of Kim's and my list for the 40 day prayer challenge.

Kim distinctly felt God tell her that if she wanted to be healed she needed to work through letting go of the security blanket of pain meds so she told me two weeks ago she wanted to go somewhere to get off the meds. so last week she went to a treatment center in Sugar Land TX as she described in a Facebook post last week:



"For those of you who don't know, I am at a detox facility right now, detoxing off of pain meds. For 9 years, I believed the lie that I couldn't function without Oxycodone, Fentanyl, OxyContin and the list goes on and on. As I reflected today about how I came to this place, I realized 2 things. First, Jesus, in His extravagant love and mercy, heard me call His name and He rescued me. Also, He began this journey on April 22,2014, when I dared to believe that there could be something better and I gave Plexus Slim a try. Over the last 9 months, the Holy Spirit has been moving in me, using Plexus to show me the life He created me to live! I am so excited about the future right now! I can't wait to bust out of this joint and jump head on into everything Jesus has for my life. I know it's gonna be better than anything I could ever dream up!"

Today, she has been released! Completely narcotic free! And Pain free! 

Please join with us in praying for complete and total freedom form this bondage! The doctor says it can take up to 90 days for the body to fully recuperate and become symptom free. Sometimes it can be 20-30 days free of symptoms and them bam the body begins to crave again. Our concern is not that she would turn to meds again. she is completely done with that, rather that we don't want her to have to deal with withdraw symptoms at home. SO please pray for total healing! Also join us in praying that God would do new and amazing things in our marriage, family and church now that my better half is free! Free to be all whom God created her to be and do for His kingdom!


Thank you all! 


We love you guys!
