First Day Of School

Today begins another school year. Ashlyn is a Freshman this year. I can hardly believe it. She is growing up into a beautiful woman. I still see her as my baby! Sarah is starting 6th grade. She is just so precious to me. She is such a pretty girl. She has the sweetest smile and sense of humor. This year was special because Debra's kids are here with us. Morgan and Dustin are being real troopers trying to roll with all the changes they've endured with their mom sick. They are great kids and I'm very proud of them. Also, my grandson, Bryce, started preschool this year. He lives just 4 houses down from us and when he saw all of us at the road waiting on the bus, he just took off running towards us! Hannah chased him down and got him back to his stop. When the bus appeared, he just started hopping up and down. He looked so little getting on that big school bus. It helps greatly though that my mom is the school bus driver! As usual we had to have pictures with NaNa!

Update

Debra was released from the hospital yesterday. She cannot stay alone, though. Since her husband works out of state, she is staying with me for at least a week, maybe longer. She is still in alot of pain and cannot do much for herself. Of course her two children are here too. School starts tomorrow, so we are going to have to get super organized to manage to get all 4 kids to school on time. I am ready for school to start though. The kids are getting bored and resorting to picking on each other for entertainment. I am looking forward to the routine of it all. Please continue to pray for all of us.

Prayer Request

I want to ask you all to help me pray for my friend Debra again. She had surgery in Mexico about 6 weeks ago and has never really recovered. She is in the hospital in St. Louis now and has had to undergo major surger to correct some problems and infections. Please pray for her and her husband. In the middle of all of that they received a referral for a little girl from Korea with some minor special needs. Her agency is giving her time to heal some before they need an answer but I know it is still alot to deal with. Please pray, my friends!

Prayer Request

Hello friends. I need your help again. My friend, Debra, (who had the surgury in Mexico) had to go to the hospital late last night. She was hurting and began bleeding from one of the incision sights. She has not been able to rest alot since she returned home. Don't you just wish that life could slow down when you need it to. I will post more when I hear more. Please pray.

Thank you, my friends, for your prayers for Debra. Her surgeon had a family emergency, so her surgery was moved up to today. She made it through fine and is now resting. Thank you, Jesus, for watching over Debra, and for loving her more than we ever could. Please give her body rest and healing. Amen

Prayer Request

Friends, I would like to ask you for a favor. My friend, Debra, is having an elective surgery in Mexico this week. She flies out today and has the surgery on Thursday and flies back on Saturday. I want to just blanket her in prayer. We grew up together. She has such a sweet spirit. She is an adoptive Mommy-to-be too. They are in the process of adopting their 3rd child from Korea. I just love her so much and I feel fearful about this surgery. Please pray, my friends.
