When It Rains...

Look at the eyes! Can you see a little trouble in them? She was just teasing, honest!

Emily had a rough night last night. Many of you know that she is currently in the hospital being treated for leukemia. Last night she tried to get up in the middle of the night to natures calling, and as her mom was helping her, Emily got dizzy then fell and hit her head. She now has a nice little bruise as a trophy. She said her legs just got weak and gave out. So it looks like some physical therapy is now in order to keep her strength up.

Please keep their family in your prayers though, because Emily's step father was just diagnosed with cancer. Candy and Jim have not been married very long at all, just over two years, and have been wonderful blessings to each other. Now their world seems to be coming apart at the seams! Our hearts go out to the family as they are faced with some incredibly difficult times ahead. There are many unknown elements concerning treatment and prognosis for Jim, and of course, the unknown simply provides too big a void where imaginations can run wild.

Life can be crazy at times! No doubt about that. So we continue to trust in the Lord for wisdom, guidance and comfort for all involved. We will also do whatever we can to help them out. We will always appreciate your prayers - thank you!

  1. Your title is very apt indeed, when it rains it pours. I'm sorry to hear that so much illness has fallen on your niece's family. The family is in my prayers.

  2. Thank you! Amazing how the Lord can use all of our struggles and trials for good even though we don't always see it.
