I apologize for the lack of pictures this post! It will be a short one with mainly prayer requests. Life at camp in February usually just means guest groups and not many departures from the usual within our family specifically.:) Without further ado here are some praises/prayer requests/updates!
-Justin has begun his interviewing process with the summer staff that have applied so far. Pray for wisdom in selecting a staff and for people who have a heart for Christ to apply! Praise Him for the positions that have already been filled!
-Camp is also still in the process of doing some budget changes and solving some problems. Pray for wisdom and good stewardship with our resources!
-The warm weather and lack of snow have caused some interesting overflow problems with the creek that runs several times through the properties and homes around camp. Pray it stays under control and also pray that the lack of good insulation doesn't lead to problems with pipes...so far we've been mostly OK and that is a praise!
-I got test results back earlier this month, which is a praise, but continues to be a reason for prayer too. I have a struggling thyroid due to some low adrenal hormones and also a candida yeast overgrowth in my digestive system which has caused lots of secondary problems. Praise that we finally found out what was going on! But now please pray for the treatments we're doing to work! It includes medication and supplements, a weekly vitamin injection, and a very strict diet for the next 3 months. The medicine is making me feel sick which is a struggle but the diet is even harder as it's very tough to take the time to fix myself what I should eat after taking care of my family's meals with the energy that I don't have! :) Pray for me to keep a joyful attitude about everything as well!
-We got some partial test results back for Norah's eczema as well but we have a lot of unanswered questions and more test results we're waiting on, so hopefully another visit to our doctor will help things make more sense. Pray for a clear path of treatment and since it appears we'll have to take some more things out of her diet, pray she gets enough to eat...being a picky eater does not serve an allergy-ridden little chickie very well! :(
-We praise and thank God regularly for all of you who are effectively serving alongside us by your prayers and giving! You will probably never know how truly appreciated you are by us and how valued your service is by God! We love you!
