Counting....

What are you counting these days?
Easter eggs?  Did your kids find them all?
Calories now that YOU have found all the Easter candy?
Days until summer?
The candles on your birthday cake?  :)

We rejoice with Jay and Rachel as they praise God for the opening in the case study for Trey!
Are they counting their "lucky" stars that Trey got in?
Nope!

As important as counting is to our banker, our nutritionist, our car mechanic, our math teacher and the voting polls, God's love and power and strength
cannot be enumerated!
"I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb."
Revelation 7:9

"I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted."
Genesis 13:16

"Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand."
Psalm 139:18

So of all these things that God doesn't count...He COULD count them if He wanted to....what DOES He want us to count?
"Count it all joy, my brethren, whenever you face trials of many kinds"
James 1:2
No new math here....simply count "it" ALL joy!

Yes, Jay and Rachel rejoice in new hope for Trey!
Yes, a new treatment plan brings an end to their waiting and drives them into action!
And yes, this new unknown territory to face causes the Mitlos to cling to God's faithfulness!

Please pray for Trey - for strength and health and comfort during his tests!
For God to continue to show Jay and Rachel the way He has for them!
For Joe and Bella to be open and honest with their feelings and questions and concerns!
For Trey's treatment to be effective in stopping the growth of the tumor!
And for all of Team Mitlo One, my brethren, to indeed "count it all joy" wherever you are, whatever your "it" is!

"The Joy of the LORD is your strength"
Nehemiah 8:10
