I was distressed to see that it was "Abide With Me" because it's been many years since I've been able to sing that hymn without crying. Today was no exception.

Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Dear Thor and Kristen, Audrey and Per-
I just wanted you to know that I just read through all your recent journal entries (we've been gone quite a bit lately and have not been on the computer) and we are rejoicing with the great scan results and fun summer you've been having. You are all inspirations to me as I hear you speak faith in Jesus even when life circumstances are not what you would choose. Your encouragement to celebrate each moment of life is a message I (and I'm sure many others) need to hear since we can so easily get caught up with the mundane issues and disappointments in life and not see the bigger picture of how blessed we really are. Thank you. My family and I will continue to pray for Per and your entire family!
P.S. Per looked awesome on Sunday at church!!

Hi Thomsens, I have had fun just reading about all the fun you guys are having this summer - it truly is a blessing for Per to have pure kid fun time. I have been thinking alot too about your upcoming scans and feeling nervous for you - tons of prayers on the 15th do have the power to calm anxiety - I will do my part at work in asking for extra prayers for that day. I was reflecting the other day on how alone you must feel at times, even though your network of loving family and friends is so strong. At the same time I realized that each time I think of Per (seceral times a day) I automatically think of and do say a prayer - so know when you are feeling alone there is someone praying for you right then! Those 2 word - Per prayer - are synonymous! Lets all shift our Per prayer time into overdrive starting now. God Bless, Cindy

Wow, that sounds like fun! I'm always totally amazed with anyone who can do a triathlon (a word that I can never spell...after multiple variations I had to go back and see how YOU spelled it...I always want to put in an extra syllable). I could probably WALK a HALF a marathon, but that's about it.
And how can you leave us hanging with that "can't explain this" picture?! :o)

Hi Per! I was just thinking about you so I thought I'd stop by your site to see how you're doing. I'm glad to hear that you're having a nice time on vacation. We just got back from camping in northern Michigan and had a nice time - it's the first time I can remember needing long pants and hoodies in mid July though!

I'll be thinking about you and will pray for good results on your scans. Take care and God bless!

Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When dealing with the unknown there can be a lot of fear. So I wanted to find a verse about fear and, of course, the first place I always look is in the Psalms. I started looking at the verses and realized that the majority of them spoke of the true fear that we should all have. So I decided to share this passage today. Praying as always!
Psalms 34:6-9 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

Doing something different today. This hymn came to mind and the words are so powerful, I just had to share them:

1. What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness--
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our Refuge--
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Of course, we all want to know how Thor did. (Focus of much dinner table conversation today...like: HOW CAN ANYONE EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THIS!!!!???) Is this the first time Audrey has been at camp without the rest of you? I remember your emergency leave-taking of camp with Per, but is this the first time she has stayed there alone by intention? It's a great place, & I know she'll have a great time! Love,

Time...such a simple word, such a complicated topic. Sometimes it flies by so quickly you truly don't know where it went. Yet it can also seem to stand still. I looked it up in a concordance and it's used 573 times in the Bible. It's used in so many different says. One thing I've learned by stopping by so many pages is just how precious time is.
This is a very special verse about time:

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Good Evening Thomsen Family!

This is Lucy, your old summer sitter! (I know, you have to think waaaaay back=]) Just sending all my love and prayers your way. Per is a strong boy and God will watch over him. Our family got a puppy named Charlie (who is now rather large, but no where near full grown) and we dog sit a 7 week old pup also. The kids are always welcome to drop by and visit if theyre feeling up to it! Give everyone my best and we'll continue to pray daily.

Peace & God Bless, Lucy.

P.S. It turns out that Per is friends with the Verboomen boys, that I also babysit! Its a small world afterall=]

Good morning Thomsen family,

I hope that this finds you enjoying the sunshine and warm days. There are so many children out there that need our prayers and I keep them in my thoughts daily. Austin has his scans next week Thursday so we are praying that all are clear. I totally understand how you feel about these, there is that constant fear of the unknown. Have a great weekend, and I hope that Per is feeling well.

My heart is so heavy tonight for so many...just letting the words speak for themselves:
Psalms 139:1-6 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Romans 1:13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
I know this seems like a strange verse to share but bare with me. Paul wanted to go to Rome badly, but the Lord prevented him. From Paul's perspective it must have been hard to understand. What possible reason could the Lord have had for NOT allowing Paul to preach in one of the greatest cities at that time? I can think of one reason! The book of Romans! If Paul had gone directly to Rome when he wanted to, we wouldn't have this amazing book of the Bible! Oh the comfort and truth found there! How does this apply to us? From our perspective so often in life we can't understand what possible good could come from what we're going through. Just as God was intimately working in Paul's life, He's taking the same love and care with ours! When going through trials that's impossible to see. So it's called faith! Faith that the same God who died on the cross for YOU, loves you enough to work out even the smallest details in your life! And oh how I'm here praying!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

According to a forward I received by email today, this verse is the exact middle of the Bible. It's a good verse and one which can take on a whole new meaning when dealing with drs. They don't know everything. The Lord knows ALL things, and any knowledge drs have come from Him. So always look to the source first!
And thanks for the update! I DO get nervous when there aren't any. The pics are great and oh what a sweetie! Oh yes, and James was cute, too! :o)

Don't know why but had the hardest time picking a passage today. Know that I'm still here praying, Per!
Psalms 40:1-5 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Every once in a while I have to come back and share this passage that I've shared before in some guestbooks. I just really think it's important to know that the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for you! What a tremendous comfort!
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

We read this verse at church last night and it's beyond mind boggling: God the Father "turning His back," as it were, on God the Son. Jesus went through that willingly, taking the full punishment for our sins. Since He loved you enough to do that for you, He's not going let you go through anything alone, but will be with you every step of the way.
Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Romans 5:1-5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

I have been following your journey for a couple years now. At one time my daughter and I were patients of yours in Waupaca. We all wish no childs life would have to endure what Per has over the years-what a trooper. You as caregivers have also had so much to deal with physically and emotionally. Your faith in God is amazing and I hope he gives you the strength you and your family need to get through each day. I have two toddler grandsons and your story reassures me how lucky we are that they are healthy and that all the other little problems we may have are nothing compared to what Per is going through. I hope you have lots of sunshine on your vacation and can find some moments of peace and time to get away from your exhausting lifestyle at this moment. Keep the faith.

Psalms 130:1-8 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

As we enter the Lenten Season today I thought I'd share a passage from Isaiah that really speaks of what this time of year is all about. Am still here praying!!!!!!!!!
Is 53:3-6: He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Our electricity was off tonight so I'm trying to get to everyone as quickly as I can. You know I'm still here praying!
Ps 46:1-5: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

Dear Family,
It's taken a while to gather my thoughts and to get a break from snow days and juggling this crazy modern life.
We are thinking of you every day. We hope you gather strength when friends and family show support. During our own difficult times, we felt God's presence when friends were involved. Knowing people in our community were aware of our struggles and encouraged us, allowed us to "feel" God's love during the darkest moments. Or moments like swallowing big pills.
Please work hard to love each other. That seems to smooth over the roughness for me.
We love you all! Know you are not alone.

What comfort to have such a sure promise from Jesus, an anchor for our soul!
Heb 6:17-20: Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Heb.4:14-16: Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

The passage is long today (could have been worse...the psalm is 22 verses long but didn't want to overwhelm you) but oh what words of comfort! Praying so that the Lord uses them to touch your heart!
Ps 34:1-10: I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

I've been a volunteer with ACS Relay For Life here in Ashland County for almost 10 years and it always amazes me how much those two things help during cancer treatment. God Bless You All!

I have a friend who endured "the mask." She was able to play whatever music she wanted while going through radiation. Was wondering if Per might want to listen to books on tape or something to take his mind off of what's going on?
What a comfort to know that the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for us perfectly according to His Will.
Rom 8:27: And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Our God is a god of "Suddenlies!" God can suddenly break an addiction. He can suddenly heal your body. He can suddenly give you that promotion. When you keep your heart open, expectant, and filled with faith, it gives God something to work with. In the same way Jesus turned the five loaves of bread and two fish into lunch for 5,000 men (Matthew 14:17), God will take your faith in Him and turn it into the provision you need!

No matter how many disappointments you've encountered or may encounter, God can turn things around for you in a split second of time! One touch of His goodness can solve that problem you're facing today! Just one touch from Almighty God can instantly change your life!

A Prayer for Today

God, each day I come before You with my joys, my concerns, my praises, and my requests. I will wait patiently and expectantly for Your answer. In Jesus' name, Amen.

I continue to monitor your site on a regular basis, I admire the Thomsen's family faith and I pray for all of you on a regular basis. Great sledding pic :)

This is one of my all time favorite verses when it comes to getting through hard times.
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Ps 61:1-4: Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

Press On- by Selah

When the valley is deep
When the mountain is steep
When the body is weary
When we stumble and fall

When the choices are hard
When we're battered and scarred
When we've spent our resources
When we've given our all

Chorus:
In Jesus' name, we press on
In Jesus' name, we press on
Dear Lord, with the prize
Clear before our eyes
We find the strength to press on

Hi Kristen,

I check on Per’s progress every once-in-a-while and oddly enough I checked on the very day Per was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme. My heart broke for you all and we immediately started praying for your family. It was so promising to follow the links of the young boys who are successfully battling this terrible cancer and now to read about your visit yesterday in North Carolina, what hope for Per also. We will continue to pray for you all.

Just Enough Light

Sometimes only the step I’m on,
or the very next one ahead,
is all that is illuminated for me.

God gives just the amount of light I need
for the exact moment I need it.

At those times I walk in surrender to faith,
unable to see the future
and not fully comprehending the past.

And because it is God who has given me what light I have
I know I must reject the fear and
doubt that threatens to overtake me.

I must determine to be content where
I am, and allow God to get me where I need to go.

I walk forward, one step at a time
fully trusting that the light God sheds
is absolutely sufficient.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PER!!! I know you will have a wonderful birthday with all the people who love you so much. I wrote a note to your grandmother and she asked me to share with you and your Momma and Daddy some of the things I said to her. I know you are all hurting. But a message your grandmother received today really touched me - "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it." We don't always know how God will bring us through our trials, but we do know we can depend on Him to bring us through them. I feel so sorry that you are hurting both physically and emotionally, but I do know that is always when God is closer to us. I pray for you every day and all the ladies in my missionary group, my sister-in-law in Seattle, my daughter-in-law in Guatemala and my niece in Seattle all have you on their prayer lists and have shared with their friends and neighbors your need for prayer. I know you can use a miracle and God can still work a miracle in your life even though the situation doesn't look really good right now. God is still on His throne and still cares about each and every one of us. Much love to you all. Jeane Carey-Hardy, Knoxville, Tennessee your grandmother's cousin by marriage.

We can only be stronger through Him...

Hi Per,

What's happening? Sweet looking costume, dude!

My name is Bob Hall. I go to Trinity Lutheran Church in Waupaca. I was wondering if it would be okay to come visit you sometime. I'd sure like to if it's okay with you.

I know we've never met, but still, it might be fun.

Let me know if that's okay with your mom and dad.

Talk to you later!

This is the first half of Psalm 86. I know it's a bit long, but it's really special and I pray that it will give you comfort.
Ps 86:1-7: Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Just saw the guestbook entry below mine...I just read a fictional account of missionaries in Papua...fascinating!
Anyway, as I'm reading these updates all I can think of is how this stinks big time! You know I'm praying so for you...and as I've told the others who's guestbooks I've signed today, I just wanted to take a minute today to thank you for sharing your family and all you're going through with everyone. I know that some have gone through added trials because of it (having to deal with spammers and those who feel the need to pick apart everything that the family is doing, etc). But being able to read the updates, to pray for your family, has given me an insight on life that I wouldn't have otherwise. It is through you and the others who continue to share that I have learned and am learning to the extent that anyone can who's not in your situation, to truly number my days. And what a blessing to be among those who are praying for you!
Ps 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

God love that precious baby! This is ( if I didn't beleive you) is unbelievable! All I can say right now is " THERE IS NO CANCER TO HARD FOR GOD TO CURE."
Per is such a special little boy. And brave too.
I Echo much that has already been said here.I am struggling to understand as I am sure YOU are!
I was saying to myself "I've never heard of rhabdo recurring in the brain if that was the original site." I was hoping and praying it wasn't cancer at all.
Only the Grace of God will see you through. This grace is soooooooooo amazing! Hard to understand how it works but it does and mixed with FAITH it is the perfect ingredient for miracles. Afterall, how many people experience two healing miricles like this in their lifetime? What a testimony!

Per sweetie , YOU are an absolute miracle! You make me cry little buddy. You are such a trooper!

Lord we believe. Please help our unbelief.You are the Lord God of heaven who changes not. You promises are true. By your stripes we are still healed. We are still more than conquers through you and by the blood of Jesus we claim victory over this infirmity! In the name of Jesus I curse this cancer at its very root!

Please know we are praying!
Love,

Stopping by to let you know that I'm still here and still praying!
Ps:16:7-8: I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
