Update from Pastor Kyle & Caroline 7:30pm

Dear Beloved Family and Friends,

Pastor Kyle just got a phone call from Pastor Mike Rice & Sandra. The doctors have just informed Gary, Debbie and the family that the antibiotics are NOT working against the strep infection and without white blood cells it could be a matter of hours or a day or two at the most! They are keeping Dylan in a rested, pain free state. Dylan is conscious of his surroundings and family at times, but he is not aware that he is slipping away from this earth and getting ready to meet His Heavenly Father, Lord & Savior.

Please continue to pray that the God of all comfort & peace will pour out His Spirit of mercy & grace upon our Beloved Shugart Family. Thank you all for continuing to persevere in prayer at this time and in the days & weeks & months to come. God Bless. Liz

Gary and Debbie,

We love you.

Romans 10:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Romans 10:29-30 29For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

Romans 10:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hey Guys. Our family just stopped and prayed for you. We cannot imagine the pain you are experiencing right now, but I know the grace of God can carry us through anything.
I pray that the Lord will be very near you...

I feel so helpless right now and wished I could do something. At this time all I know to do is pray that God will help you right now.
He is the only one who can be there and comfort you when no one else can. Please know that my heart breaks for you for what you are going through.

I can't imagine the pain that you are going through right now, but hold onto the Lord and he will not let go. Debbie,I remember one of your favorite Bible verses and it is also my favorite and that is Phillippians 4:13"I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me." I've had to refer back to this verse many many times in the past months and it's given me the strength that I've needed, and it can do the same for you .
We love you all and you are definately in our thoughts and prayers.

Psalm 61:
1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. 2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. 4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. 5 For you have heard my vows, O God; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. 6 Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations. 7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him. 8 Then will I ever sing praise to your name and fulfill my vows day after day.
