prayers

These are such full days and my heavens, discipling six kiddos means that there is always work to be done. I don't know how Jesus handled double that, full time :). He sure helps me with my six.

Pray for us as we continue to wait for Emma, any day now. It's hard to make plans when we can't, so we're doing our best and moving forward and the days are full! She is healthy and good and so am I, and while she's obviously in her final days outside the party, I want and need your prayers for strength, courage, and good health these next few days and weeks.

Pray for us as final decisions outside of our hands/control are made next week in court for two of the gifts currently in our mission field. This situation has continually threatened my peace, and the Lord has continually HELD it, and so we are simply trusting the Father to care for His children and bring about His very best in a situation we have no power in, except to pour His love into two young hearts whatever days and ways He gives us. Please pray for this life-altering day for them, the 20th.

Finally, thank you for praying for my dad, who continues on daily with radiation at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.  With this new baby coming, Father's Day, and his birthday, I am missing family, missing him, and hate being so removed from a situation so close to my heart. We are praying for complete healing and also for some relief from so many little and big sufferings, and I'm grateful for your partnership in those prayers.

Today, two girls head to missions/service/church camp for 5 days, and two others to a birthday party sleepover, and two littles here at home.
