Hello friends! Ben and I are humbly asking for your prayers. Ben was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, or MS. It has been a long process of doctors, MRIs and all sorts of tests that started about 2 years ago. If you were like us and didn't know much about MS then check out this website... http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/multiple-sclerosis/DS00188
Of course this is not the news you want to hear as newlyweds, or ever for that matter, but we know that we have a powerful God who is in control and we rest in that. A verse that I repeat to myself often these days is Isaiah 46: 4 "Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you."
A few specific prayer requests...
-The medication that Ben will be taking is an injection. Ben does NOT like shots. Pray that it is painless as possible and that he does not pass out when I have to give him a shot!
-The medication has possible side effects that Ben does not have to deal with on a weekly basis.
-The "disease process" slows and the numbness in his legs goes away.
Thanks in advance for your prayers and support.

What the junk? I saw him at breakfast, and his muscles did not seem especially sclerosified. That's crazy. We'll be praying, let us know if there's anything we can do.
