We are blessed!
So many of you have adopted our fight as yours. As we begin our second round of intensive chemotherapy this weekend, many of you will have Jake at the forefront of your weekend too. Your activities will center around our son. There really are no words to express our thankfulness. I’d like to list some of the things that are going on and ask you to pray over them and all of our precious friends who have worked so hard putting them together, as well as all of those who will be participating. (You can check out the calender section to the left if you would like specific information). There is a Chick Fil A night that Jake’s pre-school, John Wesley United Methodist Church has graciously ramped up. It’s Thursday night and we hope you will come and say hello. In Austin, my dear friends, Shana, Diane and Rebecca are hosting a Fit For Jake’s Life morning of workouts and fitness fun on Saturday morning. All of our Austin friends, please check it out and give them a BIG hug from us. One of my dearest best friend’s little brother, Tyler Haugseth, is running and fundraising on Jake’s behalf in the Malibu Half Marathon in LA this weekend. We wish him a great run and an even better run time! And, the Bodin and Dill Families are walking on Jake’s behalf in the Woodlands for a Walk in Memory of Hans Wendling and Neuroblastoma Cancer (their shirts below). Hans fought hard and at nine years old, he lost his battle after six years of fighting. Our prayers and hearts are with this family and we wish everyone a joyful day in his memory. Many will be walking in his honor and to support Neuroblastoma Cancer. So many things this weekend! We are touched and so grateful… and we LOVE you for loving us. While this is of your will, I know that this is only done because of the love Jesus gave us first. It’s through his love that you love us and we are deeply touched. And as I sit and write this, there is a song playing on my
his wonderful acts. Glory to his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

I teach pre-k and we have a “Wish You Well Board” in my classroom. I told my students about Jacob and they wanted to put him on the board. Every morning we talk about who is absent and we wish them well/ pray for them. So know that every day 15 preschools and their teachers pray and wish Jacob well. We are also organizing a Hat Day in honor of Jacob and all the money collected will be sent to your church account. I believe in the sovereignty of God and that He is able to do all things above what we can ask or think. I pray daily for Jacob’s healing and for the peace of Christ to reign in your hearts.

Thank you Lee. I love this! We are honored that you share Jake with your class. Children’s prayers are nearest to God’s heart and he hears them. He hears all of us – I feel it!
