Ivee has been doing well, but unfortunately daddy brought home some sinus/respiratory thing! She caught it, so off to the pediatrician this afternoon. Just have to make sure she stays out of the clear on this shunt thing, so taking no chances. I think Em and I had it first, but it is more in my sinuses.
Em's grandmother had hip replacement on Friday. We haven't felt well, so we haven't chanced going to see her. Hopefully we can this week.
One of my best friends from Mississippi, Melissa, called last night. Her brother in law,Brett, (husband's brother) was in a motorcycle accident. He had to be rushed to Jackson for emergency surgery to save his left leg. Mel said that a lady had seen the accident and stayed there praying with him. She said, "God has something big planned for his life, cause he shouldn't be here!" God always sends the right person along to encourage you. Em and I remembered a time after Ivee's accident (finding the mass in her head) that a lady-preacher came up to us and said that God told her to tell us that everything would be okay cause he is in control. She began quoting the names of songs from the play we had just been in at church. She said to "Hold on, Help was on the way" and that God knows that we "need a miracle." She didn't know us, that we had just portrayed the parents of a terminally ill child with cancer in a play just one week earlier, she didn't know the names of those songs, and she didn't know that the play had just come to life for us. That we now were really parents of a child about to walk the journey to battle a horrible cancer. God makes himself known in many ways! You just have to open your heart to hear him!!!!
So, please pray for Em's Grandma. Pray for the Harman's as Brett walks down the road to recovery after this accident. Pray for my friend Cris, as his mom is going through hospice after battling cancer for years. And continue to lift up the names of those little ones in my links column. Cancer is a nasty disease that is not a respecter of people. BUT, God is never surprised by what happens, and as we have learned, all things work for the good of those who love him (Romans 8). We are never alone!

Hope, I saw you from a distance today but didn't get a chance to speak to you. It was good to see you again. I hope all of you are feeling better.
Wow what an awesome testimony! God is amazing to send the lady your way to encourage you; to speak things to you that only He could have told her.
Love to all of you, Anna
Happy Monday,
It was so very good to see ya'll yesterday! Thanks, oh thanks so very much for sharing Ivee with me yesterday, couldn't get enough hugs to or from our special little princess. It was so good to see Britt and Ethan yesterday too. Hope you looked beautiful yesterday as you do always! We will continue to pray for Ivee and the family as we continue to trust God in our lives each and every day! Give another hug to Ivee from Mrs. Beth this morning. Thanks for sharing your family, your love and trust in the Lord with all those around you. It truly builds the faith of the brethren in trusting the loving healing hand of Jesus Christ which too God is teaching me as well on an hourly basis as well as a day by day basis.
God bless and just know you are loved!
