Prayer

Please pray for Grandma Ruth (Mike's grandmother) she was just discharged from the hospital last night and is not in the best condition. She has breast and lung cancer and is now on oxygen full time. We need prayer for wisdom for Donna, my mother-in-law, that she makes good and careful choices as Grandma lives with her. Also please pray for Mike and I that we can be available in any way possible, whether physically there to help, emotionally and Lord willing spiritually. Of course or biggest prayers are for glory to be brought to God through Grandma's cancer and may she come to know Him if she doesn't already. Below is one of the few pictures I have of Grandma Ruth.

Eye Doctor and Job Update

Well, it's time for my annual eye exam and I expected it to be pretty normal and uneventful. My eyes are doin pretty well but they aren't receiving enough h2o, so I am getting blood vessels growing in my eyes. Not good. In a couple weeks I'll go in again and get fitted with a new type of contact so my eyes will breath better. I'm hoping I'll be able to notice a difference and that the blood vessels will fade a bit. Sadly they won't ever disappear, but I can do things to help them get better. Blah.

In other news I heard back about my job interview that I had just before leaving for Dallas last month. Unfortunately I did not get the position as the Children's Director. They felt it would be difficult for me to be working at their church while Mike is working at SBC. They didn't want me to feel divided with working there and also wanting and needing to support Mike in his ministry. I'm disappointed, but I also know that God is in control and will continue to provide for us. Ultimately I feel that this is the best choice for their church since Mike and I are unsure of where we will be once he graduates in May. Please continue to pray for wisdom as I look for a job. I am contemplating going back to the preschool where I worked before, but at a different location. I'll let y'all know what happens!

Time

There is something about trying to find time to blog and come up with interesting tidbits of life in the Dearborn home--I think of them, but not at the right time, or I'm just too tired to blog and then I forget all my great ideas.

Then there is the issue of wasting waaay too much time looking at all the cute backgrounds and pondering about changing a background that I have had for less than a month and barely posting on it--something seems wrong to me about that. But there has to be a way to add some cute stuff to it to jazz it up a bit, but then again, it doesn't really need much else--the message is about being aware of breast cancer.

I have two people in my family who have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, along with the breast cancer there is cancer in other areas of these two sweet ladies bodies. Please pray for them as they do not know the Lord....

More another time--I'll have to remember to do updates from my phone. My eyes are heavy with sleep and my heart heavy for these to ladies in my family with cancer. My I be a vessel that God can use if He chooses.
