22 Weeks 4 Days

I have fallen even deeper in love with God's church this week. As of now there are congregations and hundreds of individuals in Washington, Oregon, California, Nicaragua and Canada that are fervently lifting us up in prayer. What an amazing testament to the call God places on our lives to pray for one another. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. James 5:16. God's word is alive and well. Keri is still stable and even though bedrest is getting to be a trial in itself, her spirits are up and she knows that she is in the best possible place. She had a wonderful conversation with her nurse last night, who mentioned that Keri being here has had a positive effect on the nurses. I love that, even in our weakness we are getting the opportunity to be witnesses to the love that God has for us. Please know that we deeply appreciate your prayers and the conversations that we are getting to have with many of you. Please continue to pray, here is a short list of prayer needs:

• That Lillian continues to grow properly
• That Keri would remain free from infection
• That Lillian continues to have enough amniotic fluid
• That Keri does not go into labor
• That Keri continues to find healthy outlets for the monotony of bedrest
• That Avery and Reese do well through this hard time
  

Thank you for your visits, cards, flowers and messages. They help. We are honored to be a part of the Body of Christ with you. Blessings to you all.
