Prayer Requests

Okay, I'm sending out a quick post to ask for specific prayers tonight. I don't understand very much right now...just that she has developed a spot on one her lungs. She is having a hard time breathing right now and has been giving her mom quite the scares this evening. I was told to be prepared for her to be on a jet ventilator by morning. Her previous vent would make this worse. Big picture...she is okay, we will just be having a set back for awhile.

So I have three prayer requests. 1. To give the Drs and nurses the wisdom to know how to handle this situation and to guide their hands as they do it. 2. For God to wrap his arms around little Melanie and comfort her through this time. If it's in His will to help her begin to heal. 3. To be with Daddy in a special way tonight. He is at church and doesn't know yet what is going on. Pray that he may also feel God's comfort and strength as we are in the decent of another roller coaster hill. (You can add my name to that prayer too).

Please don't call or text Jeff about any of this tonight until after 9:15 when he will have safely arrived at the hospital. Thank you!

We are so thankful we were both able to hold her yesterday and today. What a blessing. We will be able to hold tight to that memory in the comming days. We do serve an Awesome God!!

The Mossner's are on it Nicki! God is a God of miracles. Amazingly, we need both the sunshine and the rain in order to have a rainbow.

Hugs for all of us!

We pray that God will continue to uphold and strengthen Melanie. We pray also that God may give your family grace and strength. Our heart goes out to the girls who are to little to understand. Even though it is hard to always understand the way God leads trust in your heavenly Father.
