Hello,
As most of you know things have been kind of crazy. But nothing that our good Lord cannot handle. The devil continues to want us to think that we are alone and that Jesus will not save Kole. God continues to reassure us everyday. I know all of these turmoils are all for His glory. Lets face it. Only by the work of the greater power would Jude be born on the same day that Kole would have to be taken to the hospital. Then, our house should finally be finished by the end of this week. All of these huge issues in our lives are coming to a beautiful end.
God continues to pour blessings on our family during this time. He has yet to dissapoint us and we are confident that He will continue. As it says in Psalms 119:116 "Sustain me according to your promise and I will live, do not let my hopes be dashed."
I know our hopes will not be dashed and that God has something perfect in mind.
A couple of months ago a friend of mine came to me and said that he had been walking his dogs real early in the morning and he felt the holy spirit come across him and say that the Kellers cup will over floweth. It is so easy for me to get into a pit and feel sorry for myself. But let me tell you that God continues to bless us over and over again. Forever we can rejoice in His holy name. For our God is near. Let me tell you about some of these blessings. Judah of course was a perfect blessing. He is a good baby and he slept pretty good last night. Kole continues to do ok. He is very tired but he does not complain of very much pain. He cracked me up today. He was so alert that he wanted to hold Jude. He had a great smile on his face when Jude was in his arms. Kole started talking to him and making sweat baby sounds. It was quite precious. Then Kole went to give him a kiss and Jude began rooting. Kole threw up his arm and said, "No, no! No boobies here." It made us all laugh. God is good and continues to sustain him. How about, Steve's dad called today. He went over to our house and met the floor people. God used them to bless us too. Steve's dad ended up buying them lunch because they worked until 4:00 am on our floors, slept on the floor for a couple hours and then finished laying the carpet this moring so we could get into the house as soon as possible. What a sacrifice. Another friend of ours was so kind to give us his appliances. He even has gone to the trouble of getting them to our house for us. What a huge blessing. Steve was named teacher of the week by some local radio station. I guess one of his students nominated him. What an honor. God has our cup overflowing.
Please continue to pray for us all day long as the devil is always attacking or trying to attack. Today, Ellie has now come down with a fever and she is sick. Thank goodness for all the help. Please pray that Ellie gets over this illness quickly and that the rest of the family stays healthy.
Oh, here is another praise. Kole just asked for peanut butter and jelly toast. He has not wanted to eat for quite some time now. Ya!! He has also asked for chili. Our neighbor brought us over some and Kole said he likes to eat chili on days like today. He ate three bites and liked it. Praise the Lord.
God Bless,
Janni

Dear Keller Family,
We met you at Christmas at Grace w/Joel & Jodi. We actually talked some basketball (Ralph is a Lima Sr alum and former official). Just wanted to let you know that we are praying for all of you. So glad to hear that Kole has had some relief and is eating. Also, the blessing that baby Jude is to your family. May you stay strong in your faith as you are a witness and light to so many. God always has a plan. You are being loved and lifted up by many. God is good all the time! Love, The Schaads
Hi Kole and family;
I have been praying for you since learning of your cancer a few months ago. A friend- Dave Connelly- from our church (Berean Baptist, Mansfield Oh) has kept you on our prayer chain and we lift you all up especially on Wed. nights. I am soooo glad to read of your strong faith in our Lord and your prayers are sooo genuinely intimate and heartfelt. May God give Kole a complete healing here on earth!! I know the road you are on- our son Luke lived with a brain tumor, ependymoma, for 18 months. Here is his website if you would care to visit- ***Luke's Legacy***
We too are in Ohio, were treated down at Columbus Children's. Know we will continue to pray mightily for Kole!!
Praying for you this morning. Hope Kole had a good night. Hows Ellie doing? I had to laugh when i read what Kole said yesterday. It makes me think of all the silly things he said when you lived in Clyde,and when he would come to our house. You are in our thoughts daily. We remind strong in our faith and thank God for all the little things in life. Jude is a handsome little guy. Love and prayers, Joy and the rest of the family.

Kellers-
My parents forwarded on a recent update. I had no idea of the strife that Satan was attacking you with. You have been in my prayers and in my thoughts. I just read your most recent post. It's a blessing to see that God is blessing you, even in the smallest of ways.

Continue to check in daily to know how to pray. Our pastor just stopped by for a moment, and he said to tell you that his daughter was so touched by the Twinkie story that she went out and bought a box of Twinkies to celebrate with Kole, then not knowing this his wife felt led to buy a box to celebrate also. Now he said they have two boxes of Twinkies and everyone is on a diet! Thought you would get a kick out of that.
Gladys
God has a sense of humor -
The twinkie story is so cute!!
We are continue to pray for Kole and your family...
If God is for us, who can be against us! Remember that the God of the universe is on our side so let Him have your fears and worries and allow yourselves to find rest in His presence.
Lord, I ask that you would wrap your loving arms around the Keller family and hold them today. Shower them with your love and grace. You remain faithful and with that promise sustain them with your unfailing love. I ask that the peace that passes all understanding will fill their home today and give them a day of miracles. Give them eyes to see every blessing you choose to place in their lives and give them a heart of thanksgiving. Also, give them a sound mind and help them to think on things that are true, worthy of honor, just, pure, lovely, kind and excellent. In your holy and precious name, AMEN!
Kellers:
Everywhere I look these days - I am reminded of your family and the battle you are fighting.
Today, I noticed the beautiful daffodils. They have been beated down by the wind, ice and snow.
Initially, it made me a little sad, knowing we would not enjoy their beauty at Easter this year.
The feeling passed quickly, as I recalled what lay beneath the ground. There was a promise there...one that would bring that daffodil back to it's beautiful stage for us to enjoy once again.
God has made you a promise. It will come to pass! All will be made whole and beautiful again.....
We continue to pray for your physical, spiritual and emotional strength. May you always know that the source of that strength is found in Jesus. Even when you struggle, he will carry you.
Halleluiah!
