update on Max
Date: Thursday, March 19, 2009, 10:26 PM
Max had a good day..he was "high fiving" his doctors and shaking their hands. Also, they asked him if he wanted to go for a ride in his wheelchair and he shook his head "yes". He also sat up in bed, with his legs over the side of the bed, feet on the floor...no support. This made him cough....in response to this, Max spit on the floor. This is good!!! (Oh...Max was moved to Mary Freebed in Grand Rapids, on Monday.)
Continue to keep Max in your prayers as this is going to be a long road to recovery, but praise God for all that He has already done for this young man.

Do you sometimes struggle with knowing what the purpose of your life is? What your supposed to be doing? Why you feel so depressed? Why you can't be joyful?
I struggle with these things. I often feel like I'm missing the purpose in life and don't feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I battle with depression regularly and am usually trying to figure out why I can't be joyful and happy. I think this will come as a surprise for most of you. I can put on a pretty good front--not that I'm trying to be deceitful but trying desperately to will myself to have joy. The problem is it doesn't matter how hard I try, I can't do it by myself.
You see, before knowing Christ, I always felt like I was missing something. There was a void that I couldn't fill, no matter what I tried. Now that I have Christ in my life--it's different. I have felt complete at times, and I have felt true joy. I still don't have these things all the time, but I sure hope to reach that point. What I have figured out is that the answers to my questions above feel answered when I'm in close relationship with God. Through the last few years, I have had times where I have felt extremely close to God and then there have been times when I have felt very distant from God. Depending on where that relationship is determines how complete I feel. I've discovered that God really is the only way to fill that void that I think all of us have. I want that close relationship with God. I need that close relationship with God. I want my void to be filled. I need my void to be filled.
So, I guess the next question is am I willing to do what it takes to have that relationship with God? Am I willing to take that next step? Joslyn

The season is underway
Baseball has officially started. It's rather amazing to me that it's time for baseball already. Jason is very excited about the season starting--it just stinks that he has treatment tomorrow because he will definitely be exhausted for his first week of practices. But you know what, we will take it because he's doing and feeling great.
We got his results back from Duke for the MRI he had last week and they said it is once again stable. Jason is to continue with the treatment schedule that he's been on, get another MRI in 6 weeks and head to Duke in 12 weeks. Life is good right now and we thank God for that!!! Joslyn
