Calling all Warriors...

Ok, no referral yet (sorry for the false alarm) - I feel the need to briefly break my fast to send out a call for prayer. My dear, dear friend and cousin, Libby and her husband Spencer found out this week that their sweet girl Tess (almost 4) has stage 4 neuroblastoma. Cancer. She had an operation this afternoon that was successful in removing her adrenal gland tumor. Praise God. She has quite a long road ahead of her with chemo, long trips to Memphis, and bone marrow treatment, etc...Spencer and Libby have been incredible - quite a testimony of amazing faith to all of us. Please pray for Tess and her family. Visit them at http://www.caringbridge.org/ - princesstess.

And after waiting in the hospital with Spence and Lib this afternoon, we went directly to the airport to help welcome 3 yr. old Charles Misikir home from Ethiopia. Such a beautiful little man. It's been so amazing to see God working in this...Please pray for our friends Jeff and Abby and their family as they transition from family of 6 to 7. Follow their journey at http://www.jeffandabby6.blogspot.com/.

It's been quite a day. Two precious three-year-olds...two very different situations...and God's fingerprint is all over both. Let's continue to cover them in prayer!

Happy New Year!

I've been convicted for quite a while now to take a Blogger break and Facebook fast (the English major in me still absolutely adores alliteration...ok, Ross just said no one will understand that - please prove him wrong!) :)

For lots of reasons, I feel like I need to step back, simplify, and reprioritize.

I've really enjoyed this little blogging community the past year and will miss checking in on everybody (but I'll still be checking e-mail and would love to hear from you!) Hopefully I'll be back to share news of our referral in the next 4-5 months...I can't wait to see what God has planned!

Have a blessed New Year!
