Petition

There are three families that could use your prayers. I added a blog list on the left-hand side of the page. Links to these blogs can be found there. I will give a brief summary of each story...

Salza Family: I met Shellie through my blog. She lost a little boy, Isaac, soon after I lost Finley. She then lost a little girl, Paisley,one month after I lost Caroline. She is now 24 weeks and 1 day pregnant and has just been admitted due to problems over the weekend. We have walked a similar path and have connected in a special way. She has fervently prayed for me and I want to do the same for her. I am asking that you would lift this little boy to the Lord as you did for Crosby. Shellie and I both know there is power in prayer...

Blessings: I met Melissa while waiting for an ultrasound this summer. She lost her first child, James, at 30 weeks, a few short weeks after losing Caroline. After a difficult pregnancy, his little sister joined us 2 weeks ago, at 32 weeks gestation. She is doing well but is currently in the NICU at Baptist. Melissa and Wade came to visit me in the hospital and were a constant source of support for me during my pregnancy. Please pray that Margaret Belle will be able to feed from a bottle/breast and gain the weight needed to go home. Melissa and Wade believe in the power of prayer...

Here's Our Story...: The Tuleys go to the Malone's church. Julie also teaches with a member of my small group. Their little boy, Jacob, was diagnosed with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia at a 20 week ultrasound. They were given a very poor prognosis. However, little Jacob was born last night, via C-section and is defying the odds. While his condition is very serious and they are by no means "out of the woods," he is fighting. I have never met the Tuleys, but they believe in the power of their Lord. I know they would appreciate any and all prayer for Jacob and their family...

You have been so faithful to pray for our family. I come to you again, asking that you would say a prayer for these families. They are heavy on my heart today. Stop by and offer a word of encouragement if you can. Thank you!
