Relevant or Irrelevant?

After 9 days of a nasty stomach virus hitting all of the males in our house with a vengeance, I thought I had successfully avoided the plague. I’ve been washing my hands like crazy, cleaning, taking natural supplements – but last night it hit me hard.  I’m feeling much better this morning, but I’m uncertain if it’s just a wave or this illness is being cut short by several days.

We are supposed to leave for the Relevant Conference in less than 24 hours, and everything is completely up in the air.  Bags are unpacked, errands are on hold, etc. while we wait on God to give us further direction.

I was talking with a lady in my Bible study yesterday about the trials of illness that have been upon us the last few weeks, and not understanding how I could glorify God through being so isolated.  She encouraged me that serving my family is glorifying God in a great way. 

As I was processing this a little further last night, I was reminded that I can also glorify God through my prayers. I would love to take this “down time” to lift you up.  I know many of you have prayed for us in the past through the scary days of an extremely high risk pregnancy, the uncertainties of the NICU, through various illnesses and trials.  Some of you pray for us on a daily basis, which is an unbelievable gift to our family. What a true gift prayer can be for one another!

If you have a prayer request you would be comfortable leaving in the comment section, please feel welcome to do so, and if not you can email me at quatro_mama {at} yahoo {dot} com I would encourage you to pray for these requests as well. Brad and I will be praying through these today and in the days to come.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philipians 4: 6,7
