We had a long, exhausting day yesterday. We had meetings with four different doctors (one of which we met with a couple times) between 10am and 4pm…none stop. Not even for lunch. We are home now and praying about some decisions. We appreciate your prayers as we work through this. In a nut shell, surgery no longer seems like the best option and we are now looking at other options for chemo and radiation.

Beautiful Things 
My thoughts and prayers are with you!
Were definitely praying for you! I see the struggles everyday that each family goes- not the same ones- but similar. I knowthat my co- workers were amazed at the strength of your Faith. You ARE being light on a hilltop through this. I’m praying for wisdom and peace in your decisions and always- confidence that you are never out of God’s grip. Also praying for competent, caring staff to care for Josiah.

Hi Mary – we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. The word of God (that we speak) shall go forth and shall not return void but shall accomplish where we send it. IS. 55 Just want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our prayers are also with you as you make decisions. We are also praying for the medical staff as they guide you through all of this and as you are a testimony of your stedfast faith. We know that God’s hand is in this and we are praying HE will direct your paths as only HE can!
Much love,
Judy
We’re praying for great wisdom for you both, as well as all the medical staff involved. God already knows the path you’ll take, and we’ll pray that He’ll make it unmistakably clear which one to follow. We love you, and we’re praying!
When everything seems so confusing, complicated and overwhelming, it’s great to know God is in control. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”. You two do fear the Lord and I am confident He will continue to direct your path and make your choice an obvious one. I’m praying for peace of mind and a peaceful night (are you listening, Lincoln?)!
I am catching up on posts today. I cried through your June 25th post….when I can’t smile another, I use His…when it is hard to get up one more time, I use His strength. Oh, Jess and Josiah…we pray continually for you. We will continue to pray for you and the wisdom you need for your decisions.
I’ll be praying for you every time I see your family this week, which be a lot since there are a lot of them. 🙂 Our staff is praying for you as well. You are much loved!
My thoughts and prayers are with you while you are making these tough decisions. Take Care, Erin Burton
Josiah & Jess:
“Those whoese lives have had the deepest spiritual impact in the world are those who have suffered. In God’s mysterous providence, the cross and the crown, suffering and glory are linked.” E. Elliot
You are impacting His world, and how we praise His name because of you. Stay steady, hold on, be of good courage. He has overcome the world on your behalf and He will give you strength.
We join all the others who are praying for direction for you at this time.
love from Wisconsin,
Praying for wisdom and direction for you. I know that God brings you to people’s minds just when you need the prayers! I’m sure there isn’t a minute that goes by where someone isn’t thinking about you and praying for your family. I will continue to pray!
Josiah and Jess:
We wanted you to know that we are lifting you both up to God’s throne of Grace several times a day in prayer. David, my husband, has been battling cancer for over 2 years. It has been a rough time for our family. We can relate to what you are going through and therefore feel a burden to pray for you without fail. Keep your eyes upon Jesus. Our God is still on the throne and He will never forsake His own. We pray that His peace will fill your hearts and drive away all of your fears. God bless you both and your precious children.

Josiah and Jess,
I continue to pray for you guys. You are both so young and have already weathered so much. Your love for each other and for God is definitely what is needed right now. Stay strong. I pray that the medical staff will help guide you and do what is best for you. Josiah, continue to fight!!! We’ve already seen the strength of prayer shown through Ava’s wonderful journey. We love you and will keep up the prayers for all of you.
Love, The Sauers Family
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that Dave and I are praying for you, that God will give you wisdom and direction. Your love for each other and for the Lord is what will keep you going on.
In Christ,
The Perrott Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you every day. I miss Josiah at work, and hope you will reach out if there is anything at all we can do to help. Please let me know if I can help with those beautiful kids, or food, or anything else.
Josiah and Jess,
I just got caught up on your postings (on my two day break being home) and wanted to let you know that your entire family continues to be in our prayers. PTL – Your faith continues to see you through the weariest days/nights. Jess – I share a similar heart necklace story.
HUGS & prayers ~
Loving you all and praying in MO.
hello dear cousins! we’ve been thinking about and praying for you constantly for the past few weeks! anxious to talk to you! love and hugs to y’all from us all!!!!!
Our hearts are heavy for your family. Josiah, talked your mom at Amy and Matt’s wedding to better know what your situation is. I was your Aunt Mona’s matron of honor and go to Sycamore Church. I have 5 sons, the oldest 28 and youngest 18–so I am so thankful you give glory to God for all your trials right now. Please know we are in prayer for you and at Sycamore. You and Jess are such an example to those in Christ and those not yet trusting Him. God is being glorified thru your strength in Him. Colossians 1..Love in Christ our Lord–Jim and Melinda and Family
