Prayer Requests

Jacob's grandmother fell down the stairs a few days ago and is in the ICU at Barnes; because his grandfather is recovering from a recent heart attack he is unable to visit her. Actually, he's frustrated because he, himself, requires 24 hour care which prevents him from assuming an active roll in comforting the rest of the family.

Also, a dear woman from my church, Donna, lost her son. He was shot thorough the head a few days ago for unknown reasons. I CAN”T imagine the pain she’s going through. All of it just makes me want to cry, but I feel so focused on staying strong and supportive that I’ve kind of turned off my emotions.

So prayer requests:
Prayer that Jacob's grandmother would regain full brain function and full mobility (the two main complications are bleeding/swelling of the brain and a spinal fracture).
Prayer that the stress wouldn't bring on another heat attack as grandfather processes what's happened to grandmother. Although, the paramedics were able to zap his heart back, they pointed out that his health is poor.
Prayer for Jacob and family because everybody is exhausted.
Prayer for me to know what God would have me do…what needs to meet when it seems the needs are endless.

I thank God that my own father is on the road to recovery! AND that GOD used that tragedy to grow my faith greatly! With that said, please pray that God would use these tragedies to grow Donna’s and Jacob’s families as he did in my case.
Thank you for your prayers.

P.S. The photo is of Jacob's grandparents. I love them SO much.

Creepily Similar

I was describing Halloween at my office to a friend of mine who immediately forwarded me this video. It was so much like MY office that I had to post it. My boss is more like Jim than Michael, but still the similarities are quite hilarious!
