Well, when it rains, it pours. Looking for prayers from all my blog buddies and Facebook friends. We've had two crises this week that we would really appreciate prayer about.
1) Chris' older brother, Shannon, has been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. Shannon told us this on Tuesday, and he has been given about two weeks to live. Please pray that Shannon would come to know Jesus Christ as his personal savior and that he would be comforted in this time.
2) We just got a call this morning telling us that my mom has fallen and broke her hip (the opposite one from the one she broke last year). She is still in Alabama, and will be undergoing surgery around noon (CST) today to put the bone back together. Please pray for a successful surgery, quick recovery and provision for housing arrangements (they'll need something without any steps) during their remainder of their time there. Also, for the details of how to get her back home to MN when the time comes - flying is not an option (risk of blood clots) and driving will have its own challenges.
Thanks so much! I am so thankful to have a God that hears and answers prayer!
