Prayer for Health

I'm not sure how many stomach bugs we have had on this furlough. Four or five?  Sometimes I'm not sure if it is the same bug or a different one or if it is from all the different food or water.  Traveling, we are around many, many people and many new places.  I think I've cleaned up more "sickies" the past 2 months than I have in the past 5 years...in the car, in a home, in a parking lot, at a hotel.  Last night, I was up all night long as the 4 youngest took turns getting sick all night.  Sooo thankful to be staying where there are 2 washers and dryers.  Thankfully, they seem to be much better this morning.  We have a long day of driving ahead of us and I think getting sick in the van is my least favorite place to clean. We are leaving NY today and heading to Michigan where Daniel is preaching Sunday.
I haven't mentioned this less than pleasant side of our travels much to anyone.  But this morning I was thinking of how many people pray for us who read here.  And so would you please pray for health for our family.  I am so thankful that neither Daniel nor I have been sick and the Lord is so good to give strength each day even when the nights are long and there is little rest.  What good times to pray those long night watches are!
Time to load up the trailer and head out.  First stop...Walmart for more zip-lock bags (for sickies), diapers, and wipes.  :-)

    The Lord has been putting on my heart to pray for your family's health all along through your furlough! I think I felt bad for you the first time I read someone wasn't feeling well. I'll be sure to step it up and pray pray pray for you all!

    Stop for some organic apple cider vinegar at the nearest health food store and have everyone take 1 T per hour (or as much as they an tolerate) in some water. We've been doing this with stomach illnesses for some time now and find that we no longer 'share' in this area. Praying for you. We've had trips of this sort as well.

    Awww! So sorry you have that to deal with on your journey. It will make you appreciate home that much more.

    I was so thankful to be able to meet you while you were visiting Amy in NY. You are a nut, and I LOVE that.

    I'll be praying for you and your family as you travel, and that there will limited vomiting. :)

    God Bless.

    Lord I pray for Daniel and Jaynee as they need strength to endure family tummy troubles. I know how draining that type of illness can be...we just went through a week were 4 of our family of 6 had the bug, and that included my husband and I. Keep Daniel and Jaynee healthy and strong and safe and fill them with thankful hearts, knowing that You are with them every mile.

    I'm sorry you're having to deal with that! Quick tip - sanitize their toothbrushes after every bout with sickness. That will help stop the same thing from coming back around...and around...and around.

    I hope the rest of your adventure can be free from the yuckies!

    Grace,

    Jaynee,

    Do you still have my e-mail address? I really would like to get in touch with you personally! I would also like to see if you send me one of your prayer cards. When we have our daily prayer time we each pull a missionary card out of a pile and pray for them specifically and would love to have your card in our pile (although we pray for you anyways-this is just a visual reminder)! Thanks, Damara Poledna

    Damara....I don't think I do have your email. Or at least I can't find it :) It's been a bit harder to be organized on the road than usual! ha! :)
    Send it to me either here or at our email and we'll get in touch and get a prayer card to you.
    God bless!
