We learn throughout the years that God is faithful. You know when God gave new exhortations to the Israelites; often He reminded them of His faithfulness during the Exodus. He wanted the Jews to realize that He could be trusted in the present because of His faithfulness in the past. The same principle applies to our lives as well. The more we see His faithful hand shaping the events of our lives in the past, the more we realize that He can be trusted in the present. In hindsight, we can recall the situations when God either removed a trial or gave us sufficient grace to endure the trial. We can recall the good ways He has shepherded us along life’s journey. He has never disappointed us. Through experience, we learn that God keeps His Word and never fails on His promises. We learn that He is good. We learn that God can be trusted.

Friends:
 
We've just received an urgent e-mail from our oldest daughter, Cindy, concerning Deanna and baby Nicole.  Here is a part of the report.  This would have all happened around Noon CDT, which is about an hour and a half from when I'm mailing this to you, so Jim is still probably two or three hours away.
 
Please pray, friends!  We will keep you posted as soon as we know any more.
 
Bob and Jo Ann

Cindy's note:
 
We were just at Culver’s [that's a restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa where Jim, Deanna's husband, had gone to meet a niece and nephew who are coming to take care of their two other children during delivery and recovery]  with Jim and Cal and the Johnson kids, when Jim got a call from Deanna.  She is at the hospital in Quincy.
 
She had her “regular” appointment this morning.  During the ultrasound, there was undue stress on the baby.  During the NST, Deanna had a contraction and Nicole’s heart rate went way down lower than it should.  So Deanna is currently being prepped for a c-section In Quincy.  Then Nicole will be life-flighted to St. Louis.
 
Jim, Cal, Anya and Misha are “flying” down the highway.  I just talked to Cal on his cell phone to get “clear” info (as clear as they know, right now).  He says someone is going to meet them on the LaGrange overpass, so that Jim can keep heading to Quincy.  Of course, he will not get to be there when Nicole is born, and I guess (in my thinking and understanding), there’s a very good chance Nicole will already be gone to St. Louis by the time Jim gets to Quincy.
