Psalm 73: 27-28


My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. …
But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord GOD my refuge,
that I may tell of all your works.

Urgent Prayer Request


Just got word that my nephew is on the way to the ER. He has a genetic disorder called MCAD... he doesn't have the enzymes to break down fats... so he needs to eat every couple hours in order to have energy. In children with MCAD, they need to be rushed to a hospital if they get a stomach bug/flu , because if they miss a meal it can be life threatening.


So Please pray with me that the Lord places HIS MIGHTY HAND upon sweet little Nate through this time. That the doctors would have the wisdom to do the right thing, and that Sarah and Josh would be sustained through this time with the Peace the Lord gives us... Peace that passes all understanding.


I know that this must be a hard time for them seeing this is Nate's first time having to go to the ER. I am sure that their stomachs are in knots, not knowing what the outcome will be. Rest assured the Lord holds them and they know that full well.

Dear Lord Jesus, be with sweet Nate as he is going to be in the hospital. Help him to cope well with new surroundings and with having to be hooked up to an IV and anything else they need to do. Lord be with Sarah and Josh, calm their nerves and comfort them in this time where they are probably very nervous not knowing how Nate will react fully to this sickness. Jesus, you are Jehovah-Rafa "our healer" ... place your healing hand upon Nate right now. Jesus, you are Jehovah-Jira "my provider"... please provide them with wise doctors, nurses that are outstanding... and compassionate people around them at the hospital. May they be a light for you Lord Jesus, to those that they come into contact with there that don't know you. Just wash over them with your peace... may they know that you are there beside them, you have seen them through this tough time already. Thank you Lord, that my sister, brother-in-law and nephew are in your hands right now... there is no better place to be. ~amen~

I can tell I have people praying for me ;o}
Mom is doing as well as to be expected I guess..I couldn't imagine losing Jeremy...even though is does help to know he isn't in pain anymore, it doesn't help her out in the 'missing him' department. I talk to her everyday...when I was talking to her yesterday she told me that she's just pretending he's out of town and will be back in a few days. ;o{~it's so sad...and it breaks my heart.
That game sounds just like bananagrams...you just have to say things referring to a banana like~peel & split when you get pieces ;o}
