Please help make Nate bald!

First, check out this blog post Confessions Of A CF Husband: CFHusband Goes Bald

Second, please consider donating to his cause. Not only to watch him shave his head live on the internet, but for his wife, Tricia, and brother in law, Jeff.

Third, continue to pray for Tricia's recovery and for the treatments to work.

Our God is so awesome! Please pray for the many lives that have already been touched by Nate and Tricia's story, and for the lives they will touch with the money they have raised in search of a cure for CF.

Please lift Tricia up in prayer!

Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

Nate, Tricia and Gwyneth are in need of your prayers today and in the days to come. Tricia has been recovering from a double lung transplant performed in April, mere months after giving birth to their beautiful daughter, Gwyneth, born 15 weeks premature. Nate has faithfully been by Tricia and Gwyneth's side every step of the way while blogging their journey.

On June 16th Tricia received test results saying she had Post Transplant Lymphoma
. Over a period of 5 weeks she would undergo rounds of chemo. Today, Nate posted saying that the cancer had not responded well to the chemo and, in short, would need to start the more aggressive treatments. If her body doesn't respond well to these treatments then, well, it's not good.

Please go read his blog, especially the post from today!

Please pray for peace during this time as well as comfort. This is something that I cannot imagine going through. I cannot imagine the emotions they must be feeling, but God does. He is their comfort, their strength, their rock and He is able to heal Tricia if it His will.

Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

(Please see Nate's blog for more accurate and complete details on the journey they have been on. Please keep praying for them)

Friday

Friday's are the hardest days for me. So, today I am praying for wisdom, patience, understanding, kindness, love and gentleness with my children.

It's the end of a long week. Up early every day and going to bed not as early as I would like (or need).

I read somewhere once, "When you are a mother, every day is Monday." How true that is! While I look forward to the weekends I haven't been able to figure out all the reasons why. I don't get to sleep in, I hit the floor running since my kids are early risers, I follow the same routine as I do during the week, and I'm still just as tired by the end of the day. So, really nothing changes for me except that I don't have to sign in to work at 12:00 (which is nice).

Tomorrow I have plans to go meet up with a friend of mine. She lives about an hour and a half away and there is a consignment store near her that is holding their bi-annual bag sale! They have almost new clothes, mostly brand name, and at a GREAT deal! So, I'm very excited for that. I'll be able to get out of the house for a while and daddy and the kids can "bond"! I never realized how much I would love driving until I started working from home. Now I love the quiet rides, or not quiet depending on if I crank the tunes! Plus, it makes me that much more excited to be home later on!

Children are beckoning me and so is my cold coffee!

Don't forget to keep praying for Tricia and Nate! Tricia's surgery was successful, but now the healing process begins. Pray for her strength and her body's ability to accept the new lungs. Pray for Nate as he is obviously by her side constantly which leads to not a lot of rest. Pray for Gwyneth and her continued growth so she will be well enough to leave the hospital and go home with her parents!!! Please click here to read their amazing story of faith!

I'll be back later with a fresh cup of hot coffee!

Prayer Request

Please be praying for Tricia tonight! (Click on this link to read their incredible journey)
Please pray that this surgery will proceed and that God will direct the surgeons who will be performing the surgery. Also, pray for the donor and their family as someone passed away in order for Tricia to have the opportunity to receive new lungs!
If you have a few minutes (or hours) you should definitely read their amazing story!
Don't forget to pray right now for them and every moment they cross your mind!
I'll check back later on....
