Okay all my blogging buddies, we need to cover these babies and their families in prayers, and I feel called to share with all of you and charge you to spread the word!
Pray for Jacob
First, our friends Jeff and Julie Tuley are expecting their first child. Julie teaches at Chad's school and we actually went to Lipscomb with Jeff. Anyways, sweet Jacob Elliot was diagnosed with a diaphragmatic hernia at the 2o week ultrasound and they have received very discouraging news since that day. Jeff and Julie are faithful believers in God and are going to be induced to deliver at Vanderbilt this Sunday night, January 25 and have elected to let the doctors perform surgery immediately upon his arrival. Now, I know that a lot of you who are reading this "don't have time to make comments" or like to remain anonymous. But, will you please make an exception this one time? They have recently started a blog - will you please go there, leave them a comment that you are thinking about them and praying for them. I can't imagine how comforting it would be to have tangible evidence that people are praying for them - fervently. Help lift up little Jacob to our heavenly Father and plead that God will perform a miracle. You can click HERE to see their blog.
Pray for Reed
A prayer of thanksgiving! Ryan and Keeley White, friends that go to church with us, had twin boys back in November. Braden was (and is) completely healthy, but Reed has been waiting for a new heart since he was born. On Monday he underwent a successful heart transplant and is recovering wonderfully! Pray that he continues to have a smooth, speedy recovery and that God will comfort the donating family and their loss. You can click HERE to see their blog.
Pray for Harper
I don't know this family personally, but have been touched by Kelly and her blog and her story. Harper was born last Friday, (9 lbs. 12 oz!) but was somehow born with pneumonia and is very critical but stable condition. You can click HERE to see Kelly's blog.
Pray for Witt
Annalee, a friend of mine from Shiloh days, has a very sick nephew, Witt. He was born with a chromosomal condition (originally thought to be Trisomy 18 but I don't think it is) and needs our prayers. You can read more about Witt HERE.
Please cover these babies and their families in prayer!
(And on a totally unrelated, unimportant note, don't forget to sign up for my give away on my last post! I'm feeling a little worried that none of you like the board . . . or are afraid because you don't have kids or have boys . . . but I can make a boy bulletin board - promise! I'll close the give away on Friday night!)
