[coachmom]

Prayer Times- 9-9:30 AM and 9:30-10 PM (Eastern Time)



Luke 12:29-32, "And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom." (NIV)



God has special knowledge in our lives. He has blessings for those who are willing to give of their resources that make the dime-store stuff we are so intent on holding onto pale in comparison. The question is do we trust Him? Do we trust that He will bless us exceedingly, even if it means having to wait, or receive blessing in a different method than what we expect? Do we trust that His blessings are infinitely better than what He might first ask us to release?

Heavenly Father, give me eyes of faith so that I will trust You have infinitely more in store for me than I can ever ask or imagine. Thank You for being so generous to me with grace, mercy, and love that I don't even deserve. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

justme1020- My name is Linda, I am Juan's mom.
My husband and I will never be able to thank you enough for the prayers and support you have given us, The past weeks have been exhausting, we are still trying to clear the thrush and rashes and Juan has had another infection since being home. He continues to be inconsolable a great deal of the time which is very hard on our three year old, she has retreated to the upstairs for most of the day. We had appointments with both his cardiologist and neurologist on Tuesday. The cardiologist is amazed at how well he is doing under the circumstances. The surgery will take place within the next six weeks, we are terrified. The neurologist found "transverse chromosomes" apparently part of one chromosome broke off and grew on another, the possibilities include anything from retardation to facial deformities. My husband and I are not overly concerned about this, Juan appears to be a very bright little boy! We will just have to be aware of the condition should anything change.Again, I can not thank everyone enough for the kindness you have shown, please keep Juan in your prayers.

Also there are lots of prayer request and I am lifting up all of the request to our Heavenly Father. I am so glad that He is able to handle all of our request and never grows tired of hearing from us.

D- I was so sorry to hear about your daughter and I will be praying as you go to the dr. today.

bumping for tonight..
See ya in the morning!
BTW- coachmom-praise-my daughter is doing fine. She needs to keep hydrated especially when she has to stand for a while. Her orthostatic blood pressure tends to drop when she stands so she just needs to remember to drink, when she knows she has to stand for a while. Thanks for all your prayers!
