Happy Times


Nichole is getting her energy back and is enjoying her kiddos once again. The treatments made it very difficult to spend any time with the kids (other than them climbing around on her while she rested). It has been a blessing to watch them interact again, and Nichole has had the opportunity to take each of the kids out for a one-on-one date. The kids were buzzing around as usual on Friday so it was a little difficult to corral them for the picture. Noah (bless his little heart!) had just been bit by a yellow jacket on his finger, as you can see him holding onto it.
Nichole and Norm are still strong in their trust in the Lord, but have reached another decision time as the treatments are over and they will be reevaluating soon.
Pray for them- that they would make wise decisions as to how to proceed from here, and that Nichole and Norm would not be anxious about what is to come. Pray that Nichole would be committed to trusting and hoping in the Lord- using her time to seek Him whole-heartedly, and committed to her family- rather than using her time to be searching and reading and trying to find a cure. This is exactly what she verbalized to me when I spent time with her.
She is so appreciative for everyone's support and help. Please continue to pray for the Greene family!

Nicole! when I read Julie's blog I didn't realize you were you! It's been so many years, but one look at your picture and i knew it was you! I will be praying for you and telling Sandy (currie) Winslow (remember her from high school staff?) about you as well. We love you and are praying! God is a good God!! Love, Cherie

Nichole, I can't even tell you how much I love you-you are like a daughter to me (even though we're the same age), and I just want to take care of you. So you better not hesitate even for a second to call me if you need or want anything! I'll be praying for you, and praying for myself to have faith like Abraham's, who never doubted that God could perform a miracle even in the most unlikely circumstances. "To be sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
