Guilt tripped.

Hello everyone ( made it double spaced, easier on the eyes)

I understand I have spoken with a certain amount of you all, but feel like everyone

else may be in the dark about things and with recent updates I am able to inform

everyone to the extent that I am, fully including everyone. First, to get the less

important things out of the way, I am quite enjoying my Briercrest time. I wanted to

have the Briercrest experience and I am having it. To escape once again from the real

world and try to bubble myself into an environment where I am able to further study

the bible and gain further insight into my faith, Briercrest is giving me more than I

can ask for and imagine. Loving the beauty of the prairies (unlike others) and the

winter (also unlike others), the being here, and the learning are both two things that

I am able to cope with and see as a blessing that I cannot repay or ever replicate.

Truly from YHWH these are given and truly are they good. Also, further in my schooling

location of this post I am seeing Briercrest as a point in my life which will end

after this year is over. I am looking into school at Lethbridge and working towards a

bachelor of science which is essentially “pre med”, to enter medical school as my end

goal. These are my plans which are prone to change but, oh well, its not as if I am

going to go on doing for eternity with nothing but changing plans. But that’s me.

Which isn’t really what I am getting at in this post.



Kaitlin. I do believe that those who say they are praying are. And your devotion and

setting your time aside to intercede for someone who you barely met at a point or

simply have ties through me is something that I am truly indebted to you. Because at

this point, Kaitlin’s situation has progressively worsened. There are times in the

week when I spend extensive time searching the internet for possible breakthroughs in

health concerning Glio-Blastomas. But who am I trying to kid. The statistics speak

what I need to know. 49% of patients live to the two-year mark after diagnosis, and

after that the percent dwindles to seven. Kaitlin recently, Wednesday, was rushed to

Calgary children’s hospital because she was sick in the days prior, and at the

hospital in Lethbridge had a seizure and on the way home from the hospital, to pack

for a Calgary trip had another one. At Calgary she was administered morphine to

release her from the pain from her headaches and has had her drugs significantly

increased. Currently she is at home but is suffering from terrible double vision where

everything, well, is doubled in her sight to the point where they both look tangible.

This is extremely frustrating for her as she now must cover up one of her eyes to do

anything, making reading and school unrealistically frustrating. Your prayers raised

to HIS ears are extremely encouraging for me and also for her. On Tuesday her team of

doctors are meeting to see what action will be taken next. It is between another

surgery and some more radiation, now focused on her entire head instead of the

original specific spot. For those who don’t know, the nature of the Glio Blastoma is

like that of a dandy Lion (the weed, not a lion who is feelin great), so to speak. You

blow it when it is in its seed state and its seed spread everywhere, and more Dandy

Lions sprout out where each seed lands. Now take the flower terms and place it into

cancer terms. Self-explanatory. To pray for YHWH to hear my distress, bow the heavens

and descend, covered in thick clouds, dark with water, with brightness erupting before

him simply from his glory to eradicate that which is causing her suffering, is true

hope, but right now it seems like something that only happens in dreams. It is like

reaching out, trying to grasp shadows and dust. But along with praying for a miracle,

pray earnestly for her double vision to be solved. Pray to HIM, that HE would place

insight and knowledge into the minds of men to ease her of this thorn in her side. If

you are praying, I can only ask that you make this a priority when it comes to Her.

This is what I know and is you update. Thanks to Kaitlyn, Cey that is, she guilt

tripped me into posting. I love you all and miss yall a bunch, and look forward to

being united in eternity, our true hope for life, our true hope for mercy and our true

hope for healing. What I recognize is in the gracious act and being of Jesus the

Christ, She is already healed, and HE is waiting to bring her home.


Yours truly,

Nate.
