Update on Prayer Requests

I hope that everyone is doing well! :o) It is always hard to believe when July hits that we are past the 1/2 way point of the year. This summer been busy but it has been a great blessing.

My parents are doing well considering all that has happened. Some days, I am just amazed at how steadfast they are in their ability to "keep on, keeping on." My dad is still waiting on surgery. It is frustrating, and we pray daily (some days it seems hourly) that he will be able to have surgery soon. Please continue to pray for their situation. He was really down tonight, yet I know God's timing is not our own.

My ankle/foot is doing well. We are in the process of completing my rehab (YEAH!!) and I have more range of motion than prior to the surgery. What a blessing and I am grateful to have improvement. I still have a journey ahead of me, but am pleased with the process. I am back to the gym and hope to return to running soon.

I am in the process of some changes at work. For those that do not know, my 1/2 day is being moved. It is not ideal for my family as my parents had many appointments scheduled based on my day off and my grandmother was coming to stay with me several weeks (starting on Wed. afternoon). My new 1/2 day is on Monday afternoon. Please pray for my family as we make many adjustments due to this change. I firmly believe God does have a reason for it, but it is adding more stress to our current situation. I see daily how God continues to be faithful and I will trust him.

I am also asking for prayer as our Women's Group begins a new bible study this Thursday night. I am excited as we "clean out our thought closets!" Please pray that God will help me as I facilitate this study. Please pray for the ladies God has place in this group.

To give you a quick update on Belize: We need/want folks to go with us!! So, let me know if you would like to come ASAP!! We are looking for medical folks and any other people who feel God calling them to serve in this capacity. Your life will be changed forever!! We leave September 30 and we would love to have you going with us. We will be working in a local medical clinic that is actually ran by people from the United States.

Thank you for praying!
