Sorry I haven't updated in a while. We have been so busy these last few weeks I don't feel like I have a minute to think. Last week Kennedy had Vacation Bible School which was lots of fun. As she told you, she went to the river on Friday and Saturday. Laura, Lois, and Heidi: I promise she wore sunscreen. My exact instructions were "Use sunscreen and common sense!"  Her skin is just not used to the sun after missing last summer and it washed off, although Greg and Denise were very good about making her reapply. She had a great time anyway!! And the sunburn looks MUCH better.
We leave tomorrow for kid's camp with our church. We are expecting a fun time! We will be back on Saturday.
Please continue to pray for healing in Kennedy's leg. We go to Memphis on July 14-15. We will also be due for our 3 month chest CT so please pray for clear scans and good news from the surgeon.
A few prayer requests heavy on my mind:
Will Haney- 31 years old, battling cancer
Sydney Newton- 5 years old, battling cancer
Ricky Hicks- massive heart attack on Sunday
My Grandmommy

I am submitting an application for a job tomorrow before we leave. I am very unsure what God wants me to do right now. Please pray that He will show me and that when doors close, I will not get discouraged but just understand that HE is in control and will open the right door at the right time.

Thank you for your prayers. It is just so wonderful to watch Kennedy just being a kid without having to worry about chemo and shots and all that stuff. Although she is still on crutches and having to be cautious with that leg, she is having a good summer swimming and just hanging out. I am so thankful to God for His healing and to you for your prayers.
PLEASE KEEP PRAYING!!!
On my face,
Joan
