Patiently Waiting


Christen continues waiting patiently as a patient counting the days for her counts to go up. :-) So much for humor. We have to entertain ourselves somehow.

The nurses all think Christen is very sweet. We whole-heartedly to agree with them. :-) She is receiving good care here, and is having a very good attitude about it all, but really wishes to get home.

Her headaches continue to bother her and they haven't figured out the cause. Please pray that they will go away for good. Hopefully she will be able to get a good night sleep.

Please pray for a 10 yr old boy, Tristin, who is having surgery in the morning to repair his arm which was severed in a 4 wheeler accident.

WE can relate to the "Waiting"--it is a place you will find yourselves in in many different ways in the days to come..GOD has much to say re: waiting. I am thankful for that-& HE uses that time & place in our lives for much good. Be sure to know we pray! Remeber, REST is essential..for MOM,too!
May GOD be your strength even in the midnight watches. Thank for the photos.

"Our strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord..."

BRUTAL is a word reserved for those who are engaged in staring down this illness in the eye!

Do not blink, Christen: your victory is with the Lord.

He is inexhaustible, never, slumbers, and never. sleeps...you are honored and precious in his sight!

Much love and continued prayer,
Stephanie Zimmerman for the Z pack

I love the picture. "Patiently waiting"...it is often so hard to put those two words together. But, as Mary Ann said, "Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength!" I agree wholeheartedly with Mark's comment. Thank you.
