Where to begin....

For the last month and a half the Anderson world felt like it was crumbling. We have had so many trials and health issues from family and friends it feels like Satan has attacked. I have only found strength through Christ, but I have to admit it has been difficult trusting this whole time. I have been tested! God works in these ways to trust him more and to strengthen us all at the same time.

In a nutshell, we have been faced with a death of a cousin of Jon's. A friend who just had a baby a month ago... My friend Krystal had a seizure which led to a brain tumor that was found through MRI and which is operable on March 22nd. Her faith will sustain her through all of this, she is one tough cookie and a fighter! Praying for a speedy recovery and restoration for her. Our short sale of our home, Jon's grandmother who had to undergo quaddruple bypass surgery. An accident on our way home in the snow from the mountains a lot of damage to our van, but God had his angels watching over us. We did not have our van for 2 weeks, but thankful we had our truck to get around. Jon ended up with some bruised ribs. There have been many other little things to add to the bigger but will not go into detail.


I have learned to trust God in the little and bigger things. God will only give us what we can handle. My friend Krystal has her surgery tomorrow morning. I am praying the tumor is not cancerous, they get it all, and she has a remarkable recovery to get home to be with her kids who she loves and adores. There will be a long road ahead of her but I know her faith in God will sustain and keep her going all the way. We serve an amazing God!!!!

If you are interested to hear more of Krystal's story her blog is at the end of my blog lists titled Warwick Words.
