Commandment #5

As I was about to put Rachel down for a nap... I told her that she has 5 more minutes to play. She says, "Some kids don't want to go to bed, but play instead. I am not like that, though, because I want to take a nap and listen to what mommy says."
"You know, like the commandment #5, bay (obey) your mommy and daddy. I want to bay my mommy." (BIG HUGE SMILE ON HER FACE and mine for that matter!) ;)

I had to record that today... I need to blog an update on Lee and also add some pics. I hope to get to it today. :)

Oh yeah, she took a nose dive the other afternoon on our walk so that's why her nose is a little scabbed. :) It wasn't that bad of a fall, more like a gravel burn, but it looked worse the following few days! ;)

Great scripture

"In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength" (Isaiah 30:15).

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you" (Isaiah 41:10, 13).

I was reading some of my devotionals from my other email acct and found these two scriptures! I need to meditate on these words of God. :)

Prayer Please

I wanted to ask for prayer on behalf of my brother, Lee. He had a mass removed from his chest area a month ago and had a biopsy of the mass. Turns out it is cancerous, but a form that is not probable of spreading (Thank God). It's called DFSP. He is having surgery Wed. morning (Tuesday night our time) on the ship to make sure there is no cancer in the area and anywhere else. I ask that you would pray for him to be at peace now and during the surgery and of course afterward. Also for the surgeon's to have wisdom and knowledge and precision during the surgery. Also, for Lee's quick recovery (he'll be given 2 wks off for that). Pray for my parents and I to have continued peace as we wait for word of what's happening. I am so grateful that Lee is being cared for by great physicians while on deployment. I know that God is in control and will give us all peace and joy during the storm. I love that I can call on my sisters-in-Christ to help me in prayer for my brother.

(Proverbs 3:5-6)

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make your paths straight.
