Prayer Blog

I didn't realize until now that it had been a month since I posted on my prayer blog.   The last couple of updates I gave about Chris I posted here.  So for prayers and praises please go visit.
There is an update on Chris there a praise and a prayer request. 

Chris is Home

I actually went and picked him up from the hospital on Tuesday.  First time I had drove to Macon by myself so we got a little turned around coming back.  Almost ended up on I-75 going towards Atlanta.  Finally made it home and had to get prescriptions filled and settled in. 
Wednesday  I got him in to see a throat specialist.  I had never met him but he is a wonderful christian.  Talked to Chris about what had been going on, and then asked him if he attended church.
 He made Chris's day by telling him he could eat popsicles and lolipops.  I just can't imagine having not tasted anything for two months.  But little by little maybe we can get his strength and weight built back up.  He's lost 48 lbs in the two months he was in the hospital.

Then Wednesday evening Scott got home from being out of town all week and had hurt his back.   So I had to take him to the Doctor yesterday, but all the medicines seems to have helped him by this morning.
So it's been a very busy week.  But with time we will all adjust. 

Giveaway coming Monday so watch for it.  It's another great one from Blogsparks.

I STAND AMAZED !!!!!!!!

I just read the following  on Sonja's blog and it inspired me to tell what has been going on lately. 

When God is going to do something Wonderful
He begins with a difficulty
If it is going to be something very wonderful
He begins with an impossibility

Back in May it seemed like it was one thing after another.  That no matter how hard I prayed things just didn't get better.  Then Chris being in the wreck in July added more stress.  Finally I began realizing that something wonderful must be happening.  And the devil is mad and was coming against us full force. 
Well first Scott was asked to start being the substitute for an adult Sunday School class at church.  Then I was asked to teach 1st-3rd grade Sunday School.  I had always taught Sunday School at the church we attended before we moved.  But we have only been at this church a little over a year.  But I accepted it and I am LOVING it.  Then Scott was asked to be a Deacon, in which the Pastor has approved but the church votes Sunday night.  I look back now and think that is why the devil was fighting so hard to destroy our marriage.  Because if he did, most likely Scott would fall out of church and his children would never have the opportunity to be in church.
Now to bring ya'll up to date on Chris.  I'm sure there may be some that don't agree with what we are doing.  Because of his drug problems in the past.  But if God opens the doors I'm not going to close them. 
We got a call from the hospital Wednesday afternoon and the therapy that Chris needs can be done now as an out-patient.  We spent all day yesterday at the hospital talking to his doctor, physical therapist, speech therapist, and case worker.  He still can't swallow so therefore he needs 24 hour supervision.  Because in his mind he thinks he can eat and if alone, he would choke to death.
He doesn't have insurance to cover medical costs once he's out of the hospital so it would be our responsibility.  We're looking into a couple of options but if anyone knows of medical assistance please let me know.  He could be disabled up to at least a year.  They can't tell us when he will be able to swallow again.  Just that it takes time. 
Therefore since I don't work outside the home most likely he will be coming to live with us.  In which that will put him in a Christian home, something he has never known before. 
He still has a long way to go, he has a body of a 19-year old, but his mind is probably about that of a 10-year old.
There is still consequences to be faced when he recovers, but I know God has it all in control.
Thank you to each of ya'll that have prayed for him.   Sunday will be two months since the phone call that they didn't know if he was going to make it or not. 
And now we're at the point of him getting out of the hospital.  I stand amazed at what God is doing in his and our lives.  

God the Healer

I can't believe I missed Random Dozen yesterday.  I had the pleasure of spending the last two days with Emily (my grandaughter).  She's eighteen months old today so you know she kept me on my toes. 
Also Scott works out of town alot during the week so some nights I don't sleep very well, and last night was one of them.  But he is on his way home and was able to come to stop by and see Chris today.  So I have written an update on my blog  Prayers and Praises.  We serve such an awesome God that still answers prayers. 

TSMSS......................All Of Creation

UPDATE:  Shawn (my niece's husband) went home from the hospital yesterday.  He is still in alot of pain and will be on slight bedrest for the next 8 weeks.  But they are so happy to be home.  In case ya'll haven't read Brandi's  (my niece) blog she has on it there that Shawn wouldn't have made it alive for two more days if he hadn't of gotten the medical attention that he has in the past week.  Thank you to all of ya'll for your prayers and kind words. 
Please continue to pray for them they still have a long road ahead of them.


I have heard this song quite a bit lately.  Then it was the first one I heard again this morning when I turned on the radio in the car.  So I figured it was the one.   I am loving the words to it.
