Prayer Needed

Just when you think you're getting a handle on life, it gets tipped upside down.

Well, that's exactly what it is around here. And I need you to pray.

In December my nephew got his forever family with my sister-in-law and her group. Everyone has delighted in this precious little man. He is two now, and needs your prayers.

We learned yesterday that he has leukemia.

I raced down to take care of my nieces and nephews right away. That means I'm single handing 7 kids, including 1 with stitches, 1 post-op, 1 foster, and lots with special needs. Now factor in the fear of trying to understand what is happening with your brother or cousin and I've had my hands full.

Today we'll be moving the group to my house. Tomorrow we'll take one to summer camp. All along the way we're going to have all kinds of ups and downs, tears, laughter and melt downs.

Please pray for us over the next few weeks and months as we wait this out to see what God is going to do. Pray for me as I make the quick transition to mom of 7. Their mom and dad will be around, but will mostly be at Children's with their littlest guy. Pray for all the kids as their schedules are all topsy turvey.
