Precious time in St Augustine, Florida

Dear Friends and Family of TJ,

It's not money, it's not possessions, it's not accomplishments, but how we love one another in Christ.

This is a lesson I am learning about more and more every day. For many of you who may not know us, we are close friends of TJ and Kwang (Cal) from Atlanta, Georgia. We were able to spend a wonderful weekend with the Kim family in St. Augustine over the Memorial Day holiday. The weather was stormy most of the weekend, so any bit of sunlight we saw, we took the kids and headed to the beach. We all had such a great time. We ate a lot...played a lot...laughed a lot...and hugged each other a lot. It was precious time spent with people we love so much.

TJ and I sat on the beach watching our husbands play with the kids, and for a few hours, I don't think we thought about chemo treatments, hospitals, or cancer. We just enjoyed being together.

Please continue to pray for TJ, Kwang, Matthew, and Hannah. Pray that the Lord will give them what they need for each day, and that they would continue to rely on His supernatural power. Pray that He would heal TJ and strengthen her today. Pray that Kwang may know that God's grace truly is sufficient. Pray that Matthew and Hannah may come to know deeply the Lord who calls them.

Psalm 46

1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Selah

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.

5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.

6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

7 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah

8 Come and see the works of the LORD,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.

9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields [b] with fire.

10 "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

11 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah

In Christ,
