I know that people have been wondering what is going on in the hospital.
I just spoke with Enola who is at the hospital. After talking with pastors, doctors and parents, Jeff has made the difficult decision to remove Karin from life support. Karin has been unresponsive for almost 48 hours. Karin is in no pain and she has been very peaceful. Man has done everything that can be done for Karin, God is in control. For this we can be thankful. However this situation ends up, to God be the glory, great things He has done.
Please, please keep the family in prayer. Pray for God to comfort Salina and Noah and that He would make himself known to them. Please pray for Jeff. He is at peace but it is a hard situation.
When more information becomes available I will post it as soon as possible. The number one priority here is the children and so if information comes a little more slowly, know that that is the reason why.
I have a big, okay, giant platter on display in my kitchen. Karin bought it for me several years ago for my birthday. It has this verse on it: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight" Proverbs 3:5-6. I love the platter, always have. It reminds me of Karin. Being far away from her & her family has been hard, but seeing the platter makes me think of her. She loves that verse too. If she could I am sure she would remind us of that verse. It is our job to trust God, and acknowledge Him, everything else will fall into place.
Please respect the family's need for some alone time now. Cards and notes of encouragement are always welcome. If you need their address, please email me.
