Robbie update 2:
Well, the doctors seem unwilling to take the risk of trusting Robbie's healing... They recommend going ahead and putting the plates in anyway. My mom is facing a very difficult decision because putting the plates in means less mobility in the future, and potential weakness to the 4 & 5 vertebraes, which are higher up and more dangerous than where the original fracture was. However, fosaking the doctors advice and trusting the healing theoritecially has the potential to leave Robbie with life-time injury...
Please pray for wisdom and guidance in making this decision!!
Lynn Update:
An incredible thing has swept in suddenly and drastically altered our schedule for this fall and spring. Lynn began his Masters degree several years ago through Asbury's virtual campus (online). He completed all the required credit hours except those which have to be completed ON Asbury's campus in Kentucky. The plan was that after I finished my internship, Lynn was going to finish his degree... However!!! God radically picked us up out of everything we knew and dropped us here :) He has made every provision and given every confirmation that we are in His will. All needs have been met and details worked out... except for the dilemma of how to finish Lynn's degree. (This is also a matter of honoring our church for their expectation that Lynn is working toward ordination, which requires an M Div. But we simply cannot afford traveling down to Asbury for modular courses for the next five years trying to finish up that way!!!)
Long story short... We've been talking with Acadia Divinity College since it's nearby (~1hr30min commute), but not getting anywhere and unsure whether or not that's the direction the Lord was leading. ADC has been in the midst of leadership transitions, etc so things were not looking good... Out of no where however, we received a call confirming that Lynn was accepted (classes had already started!!!), they had worked out a plan for Lynn to finish all his requirements within 1 year, and offered him a scholarship covering almost all of our tuition fees!!! So within two days, Lynn became a full-time student and is commuting down to the Valley for the remainder of his M Div requirements, assuming all goes well, to graduate the end of this year!!!
This is going to be an intense year, but we are so relieved to have this weight lifted off our shoulders and the confirmation that God is still in control, leading and guiding us as we honor Him. Praise His Name!!

We will definitely pray for wisdom concerning Robbie. I know I am constantly faced with making my own medical decisions (either for myself or the kids) in contradiction to what the doc recommends. It's so tough. And congrats on Lynn's new school! I hope you are able to handle all that extra time alone with Roya. I know that is tough, too.
Wow! that's awesome news about Lynn's schooling....if anyone can handle that kind of intensity and still excel, it is Lynn!
God is sovereign and in control with Robbie....I will pray that the Lord is very clear with your Mom and Dad and Robbie about how to proceed.
Yeah Lynn! I hope that works out well. I am sure it will be a year of sacrifice, but it will be great when done!
As far as Robbie goes, we are going to continue to pray for his healing. We also pray wisdom over your mama.
Hey girl. I will most certainly be praying for Robbie, and for your family.
Hurray for Lynn! That's so exciting Tash!!! He'll probably end up in some classes with Andy Scott, who I believe is in the same program! He and his wife are pastoring down in Wolfville somewhere! Yippee!! :D
It was so incredibly great to see you guys at the chapel consecration! I've so missed you guys! I'm still hoping to get to Truro one of these days! :)
Love to you both!
