To all our friends and family,
AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL SERVE HIM. WONDERFUL,COUNSELLOR, EVERLASTING FATHER,ETERNAL KING, WILLINGLY WE FOLLOW, TODAY I CHOOSE TO FOLLOW YOU.
Shaelyn has been singing these words for the last month. Brian Doerksen sings this song on his CD "TODAY". Whenever we get into our van Shaelyn asks us to play this song over and over again. I beleive that the words to this song has brought us through our last crisis with peace that passeth all understanding.
Since last Friday Kourtney has battled painful eyes, obstructed esophagus and a fall that took her skin off her face, half of her chest and both knees. On top of everything Todd's parents have been away cruising the Carribean.
In all of her seven years, Todd and I have never felt so much Peace through the storm. We feel that God is going to do something huge in our family or through our family and satan is trying hard to discourage us.
Before Kourtney's fall last night Kourtney kept repeating, "JESUS, JESUS, JESUS" I asked her what she was doing. She told me that she asked Jesus into her heart again, she said that she knew she only had to ask Jesus into her heart once but she thought she would do it again so she could have twice as much of HIM in her. After her fall she said "no matter what happens to me, I will always trust Jesus." That was enough for me to put aside all my grief and face this last episode with strength that only comes through Jesus, I was not going to give the wimp Satan any foothold this time or let him affect the family. We called the troops in to pray for Kourtney and in our home the most beautiful group of people came in to pray for Kourtney and for healing. Kourtney's grade 2 teacher this year is a believer and helped us bring the troops in.
We can still say this week.....as for me and my house we will serve Him. I am praying that God will do a huge work in our family in the months and years to come as we continue to look after Kourtney's skin disorder.
Please pray for her immediate needs: Kourtney's esphagus will need surgery in the months to come, please pray for complete clearance of her esophagus without surgical intervention as this surgery is very invasive and could cause further damage. Pray for speedy healing from her fall so that there will be no infection. Pray for Shaelyn as she saw the fall and was horrified by it. Pray for Todd and I that we will be encouraged as parents raising a very special family.
Our biggest prayer request is for Kourtney's complete healing...Shaelyn is evidence that our prayers were answered with a yes and that is how we want God to answer our prayers. We know God weeps when he sees Kourtney's skin, we pray for his complete intervetion.
This is the short edited version of our week. We haven't slept in the last week, we have had a night in the ER, a barium swallow at children's and had to to waint 3 hours just to see the surgeon a gastroenterologist. The surgeon gave us some very discouraging news about her esophagus which hit home once again how severe her disorder is. There was soooo much to take in. If you have any questions feel free to ask which would further help you to pray for our little butterfly princess.
With much love, Janelle
