Day 448 - September 6 - 24 Years

Well, today marks 24 years of marriage to my wonderful girl, CheriƩ. Happy Anniversary, my heart! I hope and pray you're getting some of your well-deserved R & R at your folks' home this weekend! Connor and I have survived without much, if any, heartache or physical problems - I guess you could say we spent the weekend without Momma, trauma or drama!

I crack myself up sometimes...

Connor had a tougher night last night - lower sats again, and a lot of pain in his neck. That remains a prayer request for him, as it has a big impact on everything because it has a big impact on his outlook and attitude. But he's also had a good few days chillin' with Josh and me - not doing much of anything, but just hanging out. It's a cool way to spend the weekend together.

I must say how much I appreciate those of you who, even very recently, have sent him notes and cards in the mail. Even when it's from people he's never met personally, it encourages him to be reminded of the many people who care about him. Thanks, y'all!

Sorry I didn't post this in the morning today - but now I'm gonna run so I can actually get it up on 9/6, and I've only got nine more minutes!

Thanks for your faithfulness. Please continue to pray for Connor's restoration and our steadfastness. God bless!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, to the two of you!! Hope you get a chance to go out together, when Cherie' gets back. Sure will be praying for a safe trip home for her tomorrow.

Also, praying for Connor to have a good night tonight, and that he wouldn't be experiencing so much pain, or sats too low. And you know I'm praying constantly for all of you and for restoration for Connor.

In my prayers!
Kim

Happy Anniversary to a beautiful couple and great family...Always thinking about you and praying for you...was so sad the other day..i wrote a long "comment" to you and for some reason...it didn't post..it got erased...God knows..Just want you to know that we are always holding you up in prayer..This walk of "faith"..is beyond us..Beyond anything our own human reasoning..our own human abilities..can ever do!!! But God keeps reminding me..I AM GOD... I AM GOD... I AM ENOUGH..I AM...
I need to daily know that because i find myself so cowardly..so afraid..so fearful of "tomorrow"..
I don't like to be "out of control"..with anything.. and i always find myself in some sort of faith crisis..When i'm not in control...God knows what a "control freak"..i am and He never let's me get a way with it..
Today i was reading in Ps. 46:l0..Be still (Kathy) and know that I am God.... I needed to hear that.. He was saying to me..Please..shhhh...be quiet..you rest..you trust me..Because ..(Kathy).. I'm God.. and i'm enough!!!
May his word to me..and to you..be what you hear today...Shhh..Be still and know that I am God..We need to continue to remind ourselves..God is God..He's it!!!
Were not it..He's it!!!... Were little..he's big..were weak..He's strong.. we are hopeless..He is hope.. He is healer..He is mighty..He is powerful..
Ok.. i'm done preaching to myself.. but i wanted you to know that i wont stop trusting..believing ..asking..Because I believe that is what is required of us..
We love you and pray for almighty God to overwhelm you...
With love,
Kathy MacPhail and family

Congratulations on 24 years of marriage! That's definitely something to celebrate and treasure!

Lifting all of you up before the throne of grace for wisdom, patience, strength, and hope. I pray, too, that even today you will know the power of God sustaining you in all things.

Wow--does it just seem like 365 days ago that you posted your 23rd anniversary? I guess it does & praise God for all the strength He has provided in this past year. You are truly a blessing to all of us. Our prayers go up to our Father for Connor's sats--hope they are better tonight.

Connor, continuing to lift you up in prayer.
