Please feel free to write any prayer requests or praises on the blog so we can be in connection with each other during the week. This will also give us the opportunity to pray for each other better.
Hi all, just a couple of things. I wanted to let you all know that we went to Caleb's appointment this morning and, despite a lovely white-out, we made it there and back safely. We made another appointment for Caleb to go back next week. We are hoping this will help with his behavior. Meanwhile, we really appreciate the prayer support.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, hope you are all having a good week so far!!
Also, Robert & I realized on the way home Sunday that we forgot to ask for prayer for his Grandpa. His cancer is back again. We don't have many details at this time, but we would ask for healing and for comfort for the family. As you know, this has been a long battle.
We all are praying for Roberts' grandpa. I hope that he stays in good spirits. What is is faith like? I'm sure that that is something that has maybe been on your mind. I'm sorry, maybe you had told us at group about his faith and I just don't remember. For some reason that question just came into my head. As for Caleb, I'm sure it is a very hard thing to understand. We will pray for you to have patience with him. As a parent, I think my worst attribute is patience. The funny thing is, that is what Paul put first in his " love message". I'm not even going to begin to tell you anything that you don't already know, but God's grace begins with patience. Mostly we will be praying for God to work in Caleb and show him that He is right there with him.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, I definitely agree that patience is a major priority and is very difficult to hang on to as a parent.
DeleteWe haven't really talked about Robert's Grandpa's faith. It's not something his family really talks about. Robert could fill in more blanks on what his Grandpa believes. I have only ever heard his Grandma talk about her Faith.
Chris, My grandpa has never really spoken out on his faith before and it honestly concerns me. My grandma has always been a church goer and very heavily involved in her church. The only times I've ever witnessed my grandpa in a church is for weddings.
DeleteI had my appointment this morning and he told me it is not cancer! I was like well that is good news. It is a lymph node that will not go away. He gave me steroid shot in the bump which should help it go away in a few days and if it does not that I can get it surgically removed. I am fine with it as long as I know that it is nothing serious. I am also really glad I went because I talked to him about my TMJ and the fact that I, much better now that I am aware of it, clinch my teeth to the point that I pinch nerves in my head and face. He gave me some literature on it and gave me sample meds I can try and if that works he gave me a prescription. Basically it is a muscle relaxer. I could also go to physical therapy if I want.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the prayers. I really felt at ease while I was at my appointment. Last night I felt the urge to kneel and pray about it. So before I got into bed I knelt down at the foot of my bed and prayed for peace and comfort for myself and wisdom and knowledge for the doctor. It was really cool and I could not tell you the last time I did that.
Hey guys I actually made it onto the blog today David left his phone at home so i get internet for a day! WHOOHOO. I forgot a prayer request for my dad this week. He is having a pretty invasive hernia surgery wednesday and he is very nervous about it. He has to take 2 weeks off work and cant lift anything for 8 weeks. His anxiety is mostly from the fact that when he has his last invasive surgery is when his cancer became active and he is very worried it is going to happen again.Thanks. Oh AND A PRAISE I GOT A 90 ON MY EXAMS.
