Some Monday morning prayer requests for some Incredible People!
My brother, whose blog name will now be Dr. Dolittle because he is a vet, finally had his tonsils out this morning! I say "finally" because he had it scheduled several times before but kept having it cancelled because of infection (which was the reason he was having them out in the first place!). So, we are glad they are out now and that everything went well. Please pray that he will recover quickly and well, and pray for his wife too- they have two little superkids 2 and under, and he will not be able to help with them for a while, so Mrs. Dolittle might even need your prayers more than he does!
Another prayer request... well, first the background story:
The Incredibles have joined their first eve homeschool co-op this year. It meets at our church, but I came into it knowing no one. (Which is possible because our church has 8,000+ people) It is a very big co-op, too, over 100 families, so I was feeling a little lost at first. My first friend in co-op was Cathy. I saw her at the kickoff meeting, and then met her the next Sunday while we were in line waiting to get our kids from their Discoveryland classes after church. She was so nice and friendly, and really made me feel better about starting Co-op. Every time I have seen her, she has always been so nice to me and always has a smile on her face.
Now for the prayer request. Cathy is having a lumpectomy this morning, and will probably need ot follow up with chemo and radiation for a while. I emailed her when I found out about it through the co-op email list, just to let her know I was praying for her and would be bringing some meals. She emailed back, saying she had known when we last talked but didn't know how to bring it up... how do you just bring, "Oh, and by the way I have breast cancer," into regular conversation? I can only imagine how she must be feeling right now, and I am certain she could use any and all prayers sent her way. Please pray for Cathy and for her family- she has a husband and three sweet kids. Please also pray for me, that I will know how to best be a friend to her while she is going through so much. Part of me feels like I don't want to be pushing my way in because I only just met her, but another part feels like if it was me, I would need and welcome all the friends I could get. Pray that today her lumpectomy goes really well and that the doctor gets every last cancer cell out of there.
On that note, you can pray for Heather today too. I am saying a special "thank you" to God today for her, because she has taught me so much and hopefully the Lord will use it to help me encourage and be a friend to Cathy. So, thank you, Heather, and God bless you!
Make no mistake about it, my blog name is just a movie reference, not a claim. There are many, many people in this world more TRULY Incredible than I. :)
Thank God for your blessings today!
