Prayer requests

Prayer requests-
1. My sister has gestational diabetes an is having a difficult time. She had this with her second pregnancy but it was not as bad as it is this time. Please pray that she will figure out exactly what to do and it will not stress her out. Baby Lily will be here in July!!
2. My other sister is still having a difficult recovery from her knee surgery.Things are just not back to where they should be for such a simple procedure and they just can't figure out what to do with her. Story of her life ;)
3. My Mom and Aunt are on a plane flying to Boston to visit my cousin that is there now studying. Pray for traveling mercies for them.
4. My Dad and step-mom have some things they are dealing with now that can be very stressful. Also pray for my Dad's health. As well as my step-mom's parents health.
5. My poor hubby. He is working himself to the bone. We have been blessed that there is still work out there but he is literally about to run himself to death. He needs strength and rest and a VERY patient wife.
6. A#1 will be home this time next week. Pray that he will make it thru the rest of his finals. Also in less than 2 weeks he will begin his flying. He will have to drive back and forth 1 1/2 hours each way and then he will be at the airport for 5 hours and then drive home. Please pray for his safety thru it all. He is soooooo excited and so ready to get started.
7. Hubby and I are supposed to be taking a trip for our anniversary (yes I know you are sick of hearing about the anniversary!!) but this stupid SWINE FLU has just messed things up. That and the fact that we put everything else before our marriage.
8. Swine Flu? What the heck?!!! Pray that this will cease.
9. Our church family. We have a lot going on right now with remodels etc. God is moving and some people just don't like it (mainly Satan, the big nerd) I had a fantastic meeting with some of our ladies the other night and I was really touched at some of the things we were able to work out.

10. Faith Promise Mission Conference- We have missionaries coming from all over in the next couple of weeks and it is always such a blessing to see our God working.
11. Liberty University just lost one of it's professors in a tragic accident. Please pray for that family as well as the students and faculty.

Update

Well for goodness sakes I have not been able to post until now but I want to say thank you for the prayers for my Daddy & let you know he is doing well. Things went good Friday and he went home and as far as I know is actually following the rules. We had a few good laughs at his expense when he came out of surgery and they were giving him some pain meds but that's what family is for right ;)

Update on Daddy

Thank you all so much for your prayers for my daddy! We found out yesterday that he will be going this Friday for surgery to repair the problem. Eventually he will be having that knee replaced but for now this is the solution. I will keep you updated but please continue to pray for him and for my step-mom.

Daddy

*Edited- Just talked to Daddy and he's doing ok. They drew quite a lot of yuk out of there and the Dr said he didn't like the color of it so he's sending it off just to have it looked at. Please continue to pray!!
Please pray for my Daddy. I mentioned on one of my Christmas posts about him having trouble with his leg and after 5 weeks of agony it has been determined he has a torn meniscus. Yuk! He has developed fluid on it and now is waiting to go on Friday to have some of the fluid drawn off to relieve the pressure and the pain. Please pray for him as well as my step-mom.

Christmas Eve

Tradition has it that on Christmas Eve we go to my Grandma and Grand-Daddy's house for family time. All of my Dad's family is invited over for food and fellowship and sad to say it's the only time some of us actually see each other and we live in the same town. There are those that come from out of town, even out of state, Texas, so that's exciting for us to be able to catch up and give out some hugs. I will warn you there are a lot of pictures ahead. I didn't take them all, I borrowed a few of them :) Me and A#1. Have I mentioned him before?

Me and my sister. Not sure but I think we both had food in our mouths. I know I did!

This is my daddy. He has been having some major knee issues and has been in a lot of pain. Trouble is, it's not the knee that he had replaced. They are now treating him for gout and we are praying the meds will help. I'm not sure what we are all watching but it must be good.

She-J and B. These 2 have been to war together. Literally! Praise God they are both home and safe where they belong.

The kids love to play in Grandmas books and toys. A#2 and Cam and Pey.

These next few are just crowd shots. As you will see, there a quite a few of us.

My sis and her hubby.

After the cousins leave it's time for us to exchange gifts with the immediate family. Poor A#3 has been sick for 2 weeks at this point and this is how she spent some of her day. She has been taking breathing treatments every 4 hours for a week now and STILL has a horrible cough and cold.

Bless her heart!

We were able to wake her up in time to unwrap her gifts. Lack of sleep was not going to stop her.

Mr Cam had one desire for Christmas. A Pogo Stick and his Aunt Ninie had to oblige. Let's just say he was a little excited. I did tell him however, if you break any bones, do not call and tell me. Love you Cam Rod!

Thank you!

Veteran's day is very special in our family! We are so proud of everyone that has served our country from our family and pray that you will join us in honoring all of them today. CJ, you deserve a special mention all your own today. I love you and couldn't be more proud of you. Brian and Matt you both have done what your country called you to do and YOU ROCK!! Daddy, Poppaw, Poppy, Mr Foster, Jason and Christopher, Uncle Mark and Pa Dick, you are just a few that I could mention today that I love. God bless you all and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!! Let's all pay it forward today and if you know a veteran, a police officer or a fire fighter ( I love you Mikie Scott and Jeremy), thank them for their service and their sacrifice. It's the least we can do.
