Sasa was home for Christmas

"So, the first round is over. The result is 1:0, for us, of course. On Friday, Christmas Eve, I am going home for 10 days to be with my family during Christmas and to gather the strength to continue the fight. Many thanks to all of you who have been with me all this time.

Cheers, Sasa"

Sasa's daily medications

"Lord, sustain me as you promised, that I may live!
Do not let my hope be crushed.
Sustain me, and I will be saved;
then I will meditate on your principles continually."
Ps. 119:116-117

More great memories from Summer 2010

Enjoy another video of a wonderful family vacation in Croatia this past summer. Sasa was full of life and health and both families were able to enjoy great times together. Thank you all for praying for many summers such as these in the future.

Sasa's battling really high fever right now and is on his fourth antibiotic to date. Please pray that his fever goes down and that he can get his strength back. Mila is really needing our prayers for strength as well. Thank you all for joining forces to pray for these requests.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. Ps. 20:7

Blast from the past: Sasa's family's visit to California - 2009

"Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. " Ps. 36:5-6

Bring the Rain

No moment from my God

is a rock of burden

It's just a rock waiting to be

broken apart

into stepping stones

Sasa's days after the first round of chemo

Sasa still continues to be in isolation in order to protect his health. He is battling a fever and sores in his mouth but loved to see Laura and Jakov through the Skype. Mila is able to see him every day through a window on his hospital room as well. Things haven't been easy for her, to say the least, trying to cope with life crumbling from every side. Jakov struggling with severe asthma and allergies, Laura's sadness over her Daddy's condition and maintenance issues with their apartment, just to name a few. Mila needs our prayers BIG time right now as well.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 2 Cor. 4:8-10
