Practical Side

I know that most of my posts have become more backward looking and reflective.  I wanted to dedicate a quick post to looking forward and asking for prayer.

First of all, Jonah is scheduled for an MRI on Monday, October 5th.  This is the MRI that will tell us if the chemo is working, if we're on the right track.  It's a very detailed MRI, and he will have to be sedated as it's a long imaging procedure.  Please pray for the results of the MRI and the wisdom in our decision making.  We have every reason to believe that the chemo is working but it's still a nerve-racking date on the calendar.

The other prayer request is for the sweet faces in these pictures.  Noah, Anna and Julia are being such troopers in their up-ended reshuffled life.  It's getting hard on them though.  Their desire to have everyone home together all the time is building.  The yearning for the old normal is visible.  These delightful joys are having to grow up in ways that aren't fair and are out of everyone's control.  I pray for their hearts to be protected during this time, that they would rest assured of how much they are loved and cherished even if it feels different right now.

Thank you for being willing to include us in your prayers.
