As I reread the last few posts, I was thinking, maybe I should delete them and start over. People don't need to see that much of me. Then I realized that we all need people to see that much of us. Too often we get so overwhelmed and instead of sharing we stuff. So, I will leave the posts up, please do not be judgemental. Just realize that God is so much bigger and that HE has done some amazing things in my life the last few weeks and I am changed. Glory to HIM!
Well, I guess I will start with the a new wind that the Lord has breathed into James and myself (as well as our marriage). We attended the G3 conference at our church, Highlands Fellowship the first couple weeks of May. During that time, James and I went through the classes with pastors from all across the world (we sat with pastors from Denmark, India, the Netherlands, Sri Lanka and Albania) WOW~ GOD IS AWESOME! We learned so much. James and I talked how we had both been convicted about tithing. I expressed how scared I was as we don't have the money to tithe, we live life in the negative right now and the teaching was what I needed. We are excited to see God provide. The teaching on your Shape and where you should be serving was great. We are both becoming more involved and LOVING it. Also, just because God is so good and faithful, we met our two new friends during this time. One who has quickly become my best friend, and the other that God placed in our lives right now, just when we needed her. God never ceases to amaze me. I will blog later about the G3 pastors as they deserve their own post...
Yesterday we went to University of VA to see Grace's ENT. He was looking back at her records from our local doctors and after the exam decided that she will need not only her Laryngeal Cleft repair, but her tonsils and adnoids out as well. He explained that her tonsils are innes and that is why she has had strep so many times. God is good that we have such an awesome doctor!! She will have surgery on June 26. In ICU for 24 hours and then on the reg floor for hopefully 24 hours! Please pray as the time approaches that she stays well so that she can have the surgery, that we find someone to watch our other children why we are 4 hrs away and that God provides the money that we need for the trip, time off, ect.
As for my ankle, God is truly trying to teach me something with this! I now have 2 broken screws and can barely walk on it. I am awaiting an appt with my original surgeon on June 3 as he is the only one that will touch the broken hardware. Please pray for me and my family. This has been the longest 6 months! I know that God is in control, and I lay it in His hands!
Zachary is having his eval for special ed classes next year in the next few weeks, so please pray for that as well as he will have his appt with the Neuro Ped in July. Joshua is great, loving the pool and struggling with getting rid of the paci. Devon is almost done with the school year and then he will be in middle school. Lord help us!!! :) No really, we are so proud of him. He is truly a tween though!
Love you all and would love to know what is going on in your life. Please drop a letter or email if you have a chance! And please let me know in the comments if there is anything I can pray for you about!
