Various Updates / Feb 5, 03:27 PM
I always wait too long to make a post and then have way too much to say! Thanks for being patient as blogging is new to us :)
In our January newsletter, we asked for prayers for my health. I had an MRI of my knee and a follow-up with the doctor I’ve been seeing. The MRI didn’t show any structural damage or torn cartilage which is great. This means no surgery is needed! However, it leaves us in a tough spot of not knowing exactly what’s wrong and therefore not being sure of how to proceed. We may try an orthopedic specialist for a shoe insert. Thank you for standing with us in this trying time.
Also, my chronic eye condition has been acting up. I saw a retinal specialist today, and by God’s grace, no further damage has been done to either eye (whew!). I’ll go back in June for a check-up.
Enough about health and this frail body that will be left behind when I go to be with my Heavenly Daddy for eternity.
This weekend, we celebrated the birthdays of our Team Captains Troy and Katrina with a lot of food and a lot of friends from the neighborhood. We had almost 30 guests! and most of those people are from two families.
Brian and I also got to spend time with a wonderful Iraqi family that we’ve gotten to know through World Relief. We are so thankful for their friendship and hope to keep building that relationship even though they live about 20 mins from us. We decided it would be unbelievably pathetic to let this relationship slip through the cracks b/c of the minor commute. And we are praising Jesus that the 20yr old has gotten a job—only part-time but a great first step towards self-sufficiency!
Prayer Requests:
-Grace for the 3 new cases World Relief received in January as
they mourn their losses, endure culture shock, and adapt and
integrate in their new home.
-That the other family members of our Iraqi friends would be
admitted to the U.S. soon and be kept safe in the mean time.
-For true Peace and God’s protection throughout our neighborhood
as there are relational tensions between some of our neighbors
and also woman was robbed late Sunday night.
Blessings
