Hello friends!

Sorry for not updating in a while! God has done some great things in my life and I'm sure in yours! The biggest news of them all is that I got to talk to my donor over the phone! This is very exciting because I had to wait a whole year to meet him (because of rules with the donor center). Anyway so I got to talk to him for a long time and learn all about him and he all about me! I also got his e-mail and we have been communicating back and forth a bit. His name is Josh and he is from Virginia. He is 33 and is married- his wife is pregnant with their first child! He is in the Air Force and is actually going over to Afghanistan next Tuesday, the 4th! Please be praying for his safety! He hopes to come back by May (when his wife is due with their child!) He signed up to be on the donor list when he first got in the military and a few years ago his dad passed away from lung cancer. He told me the reason he wanted to donate was so no one else would have to go through what he did with his dad. What an awesome thing God did to make something good out of a terrible situation! God's plan is always better than ours.... why don't we realize that all the time and fully trust Him? I wish I would all the time! But I guess that's just our selfish sin nature wanting to do things our own way!

I am just staying busy with school. This semester has just flown by and I can't believe its November already! I go back to Tomball quite a bit... I miss the fam :) I also go back once a month to continue getting my immunizations. Those are the best kind of shots I've had in a while because they mark that I am healthy! Praise God for His healing hand!

Thank you so much for checking in.... I don't have much else to say, which is always a wonderful thing! Please keep Josh in your prayers while he is away....and also for his wife!! Thank you so much for praying for me all these years... your love and prayers mean so much.

Romans 5:3-5 "Not only so, but we also REJOICE in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."

God's love is amazing!

Leanne
