Update of sorts

I guess it's time for an update of sorts.... Hubby is still very sick and bed bound most of the time, have our bad nights that Jesus gets us through and have our okay nights where it's just dealing with breathing and pain. Either way God IS and WILL be faithful through it all!
We lost Ins coverage as of Oct1st so all remaining tests have been canceled and everything is on hold.
We are okay with this as we know Jesus knows what's best and will show us the next step.
We have so much to be thankful for. So much to thank God for!!!

Please remember Kelsey in prayer, she is exhausted with online college classes and helping with everything. She is very sick tonight in a almost ER serious way. That's all I can share. Would appreciate prayer for her!! 

Kaity is keeping very busy with her studies and online classes as well, they are both carrying a heavy load here at home.. So thankful for our girls. Kaity would appreciate prayer as well. 

Shania is working hard and adjusting to a new phase of life.. Accckk lol.. 
She would greatly appreciate your prayers as well. It's not been easy to be at work knowing there are serious things going on here at home. But Jesus helps her and gives the peace and strength needed. 
Shania and Kelsey were able to go fellowship with their new friends last week...
God has answered another prayer by bringing this group into our lives.
 And yes it's still supervised by parents.. It's awesome to find like minded people =)
Kelsey's hair has been a major ice breaker... 
Rofl.. SHe gets it honest.

The young men had just finished up Bible Study upstairs of the home they were gathered at and one young man (whom shall remain nameless NICK*coughed I'm sorry*) =)
Came down the stairs not expecting any "new" young ladies and stopped dead in his tracks and said with a gaping jaw (as Shania put it) and said.. WOA... YOUR HAIR!!!!! 
Oh I wished I could've been there.. And Kelsey responded as only she can and something like "what, have you never seen a girl with a poof?) poor guy, he hasn't stood a chance since!!!
Thank the Lord he insulted her poof... 
Of course he says he likes it.. 
She don't buy it AND NEITHER DOES THIS ALL KNOWING MOMMA!!!!! 
So I'm told at these Friday night things her hair is part of the conversation and she has educated these young men on how a proper Holiness Girl should do her poof... They have begged to measure it, she hasn't oven in yet..We shall see. Lol.. 
She has assured us that no one has caught her attention.. 
So to put any thoughts that might be floating (apply 2nd Corinth 10:5), 
They are not looking.... Lol
I said well to help just tell them I will be a VERY expensive MIL =) I require MUCH retail therapy and here is the list of my DR'.. ER I mean Craft Stores. HA!!

I am told the young men have also been notified by one said middle daughter that she is taken.. 
His name?
Will
GODS WILL and none of them are it!! (I'm glad thy get her sense of humor) 
lol what would we do without our Kelsey Girl.

One young man made the mistake by asking if she was going to get a job. She gently told him she HAD a full time job already. He STILL didn't get it.. So she ever so gently(rofl) rattled off her summery in random order and I'm told the light bulb went on for this poor young fellow. 

I will admit.. 
I am a bit on alert as these young people are Shana and Kelsey's age and that includes the male gender... 
And the selection of single praying young men are enough to make a fat woman stop eating!!!! 
For realz!! 
Shania is still blissfully content to be oblivious to any interest and I AM EVER SO THANKFUL!! 

I have made my public appearance at her place of employment to do damage control.. Err.. I mean show my support (insert photo below) 

I'm just happy I can still fit behind a cow without making it look like a full body prop... Roflroflrofl.. 

I've spoken to several of the young men (except for the ones that are in this group. 
Yes some of them she works with) I know.... Ya take 2 steps forward and ..... Well.. No
Seriously tho.... We are thankful Jesus brought this job to Shania, she really enjoys her job and those she works with and they put up with her Mother in good nature teasing. 
She should be thankful I don't get out much right? Lol

Well I must close... Busy morning ahead of me as the Lawyers office and Ins company are all EST! Yippee for me!! 

Praying I can get all the documents done on time and.. The weather cools down here so we can get this place cleaned up some more.. The girls and I have LOTS of work to do... 
Lord willing we need to have a yard sale and try to sell some stuff privately. And the rest is going on over to the thrift store.. First I want to get ahold of a few churches and see if there are any families in need of anything. It's not junk we just don't have room for our newly downsized life.. 

If you have lasted to this point. THANK YOU for your time and prayers. 
We sure love y'all and pray for each as the Lord brings you to mind and we look at our prayer list. 
During these crazy times we need each other in the body of Christ like never before. 

Until next time....

Praise Report, Prayer Request, and Update on Hubby!!!

I have failed to give an update on Steve lately... I am sorry for that, things are hectic to say the least. We have a PRAISE report and of course continued prayers greatly appreciated.

PRAISE REPORT:
So Steve was diagnosed with a liver disease some time after his massive heart attack in 2014. The Lord stepped in just when it looked like he was going onto the transplant list.
It's been a problem since his health took a drastic turn for the worst .

We received word from the DR that as of last weeks blood draw .. For the FIRST TIME in a LONG TIME... HIS NUMBERS WERE IN NORMAL RANGE!!! Well glory to God... Praise You Jesus!!
Lord I am so sorry for failing to give you the public praise YOU are due and we long to give YOU and only YOU!!!

other results are still concerning but that's okay, yes I said okay. Why? Because our Jesus is up to something and I am choosing to look at what God IS DOING!!!

Another praise report... And update..
Steve had another heart attack a week ago yesterday here at home. It was another close to the end, moment... when I woke up his face and neck was turning black.. I yelled for the girls and we went to prayer bombarding Heaven for our man. Mother & Grandma joined us and for several hours we prayed.
Why no ER? Its personal and well I had complete peace that passed my understanding to be honest.. It made no sense at all but I knew God was in control and there wasnt much that humans can do once it reaches a certain point (there's more involved such as instructions from the DR's and decisions that have been made ect.)

but I praise GOD for sparing my husband and for no damage done from this recent heart attack As far as we know.. And I believe it's fine!

Lungs are still a VERY SEVERELY SERIOUS URGENT NEED of prayer!

We have several appointments coming up and I'm sure more tests to check a bit further on things, and they still want to look at the liver but I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THEY WILL FIND HEALING taking place NOT getting worse.

Will you please stand with me in faith for this? If you pray for us, and I know you do, please do so with NO DOUBTNGING. This is my request. I will not look at you different if you can not commit to that, I understand things don't make sense.
but friends we need to remember whom we serve and what HE CAN DO... I remind myself daily, believe me..
But I refuse to look through the glass darkly on this one.. I pray Jesus will give me clear heavenly vision in prayer for My husband. God knows my heart!!!

I was going to leave this as a FB status update but well.. You can see why I changed it to a blog post. =) I need to get back to writing on this thing anyway and have been putting it off. So maybe this was Gods way of saying now was as good a time as any! 

God bless each of you and we are praying for the different needs we hear about or have seen posted. I don't get on here much unless I must, if your not on my IG feel free to MSG me as I use the FB MSGNR most. Love y'all.. And LOOK UP, OUR REDEMPTION IS DRAWING NEAR!!!! Glory to God
