Today ... this precious family really needs our prayers ... as their 18 year old daughter, Autumn, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Please pray ...
... for Autumn, that the Lord would give her peace
and that she would be able to FULLY trust in HIM,
as she walks through this difficult time.
... for Linny & Dwight, for strength as they face the
unknowns, and for wisdom as they help all of the
little kids understand what is happening.
... for the doctors, for wisdom as to how to proceed.
For knowledge as to when to be aggressive and
when to wait.
On top of this huge trial that just took them by surprise ...
... they brought home 2 precious little ones
from Africa in December.
... they lost everything in a house fire in January.
... their church (DW is the pastor) is in the midst of
huge staff changes. (3 of 5 pastors leaving)
... last week they started the process of leg castings
for their adopted son with arthrogryposis
(a very serious condition). Linny had to take Isaiah
to Denver (450 miles each way) for the casting, and
the trip will need to be repeated every 10 days or so,
for awhile.
Thanks for joining me in prayer for Linny and her precious
family, as they walk this VERY difficult life journey right
now. I hope you'll stop by her blog to give her a note of
encouragement.
Oh Laurel, the burden just felt so heavy as I was reading this post .... I will pray and pray some more ... Thanks for sharing this w/ us all ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for opening the loop and allowing others in the 'family' to lift them up in prayer.
