A simple request../

Good morning friends. I really didn’t plan on going so long in between posts, and honestly I have written three posts this week, published one and then un-published it...no words I can say seem to measure up so I just come to with honesty and a broken heart. Below are some prayer requests and I ask you to really pray for these things because they are all so very dear to my heart. My Mom is very, very sick. That’s all I can really bring myself to say at this point.  Please pray for her. ******************** Second, my brother-in-law (who passed away in 2004)’s wife (who is remarried with four little girls) lost her 5th baby this week – a boy named Michael Wyatt.  While the relationship between her and our family is strained (we won’t go into that), my heart is breaking for her. Also, there’s a young momma, my age, who is a close friend of a close friend.  Her baby boy Bryce was born 18 months ago with Trysomy 13.  His doctors were not certain he would even live for a week.  He stopped breathing and went to be with Jesus on Tuesday afternoon.  His family needs your prayers.   ********************* And last and the heaviest on my heart; our very dear friends baby Bryson has been admitted back into the hospital after being life flighted last night.  Bryson was born last August with a severely abnormal gene mutation in his lungs.  He was in the hospital a solid six months before he was able to go home on oxygen with a tracheotomy.  He has two older brothers, Blayne and Mason, who are as close to being my own kids as you could get.  His Mommy and Daddy are just exhausted and scared for their baby.  They need to be lifted up. I dont really know what else to say, but thank you in advance for your prayers. I dont know all who read here, but I do know from the ones of you that have reached out that there are a lot of strong Christian women that visit here and more now than ever my family (I include close friends as part of my family) could really use your prayers.  After getting the news of these sick babies, and the situation with my mom,  I have just been a mess. This morning I spent a lot of time reading my bible and just looking for peace in God's word and I was encouraged by these two verses: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" Romans 15:13 "Be joyful always, pray contiually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" 2Thes 5 16-18 I know it was God's perfect plan to take these babies before we were ready and we just have to trust in that and the fact that he is in control and knows best.  I know He also has a perfect plan for Bryson. Bryson has already, in his short 9 months, been such an enormous blessing and has touched so many lives!  God is using that little boy! Those sweet babies that have left this Earth have left such a legacy already. They have taught me so much about the gift of life and to appreciate my babies so much more than before. That is all I have to say. I will be back later, maybe next week. Right now I just wanted to get that out there mostly so these families could be lifted up. There is strength in numbers. I am so thankful to get to be their mom and be blessed by their presence. I hope everyone is having a great week and has a wonderful weekend.
