I know it has been awhile :) Most days I get a comment or email letting me know we are being prayed for and thought of and missed. And I am so grateful for those prayers and the care of so many.
We are all doing well...well, except for Daniel who's in the hospital right now. He's been out of town working and got a severe case of pancreatitis. Thankfully, he's working with his brother in law and he got him to the ER early Tuesday morning. They thought at first he was having a heart attack, but later determined it was abdominal and the tests pointed to his pancreas. He's stable, but in a lot of pain, and on a complete fast in order to let his pancreas heal. He's about 3 1/2 hours from us. I just want to be with him, and am hoping to get down there by this evening. Please pray.
Timothy and Elijah graduated this year, and last week a dear friend of mine, who is also an amazing photographer, got together with us for a photo shoot. We hadn't had a family picture taken in 3 years, so this was so special. She took individuals of the children, shots of the brothers, the sisters, Daniel and I, and several of Timothy and Elijah for their Senior pictures. Sweet pictures, fun pictures, and everything in between. I think we were out there for about 3 hours. I can't wait to get our disc and will be sure to share some with you all when I get them.
Timothy is heading to Bible college this week. If Daniel's still in the hospital, I'll be driving him there myself. I'm so very proud, excited, sad, and missing him all at once.
We started our new school year last week, but are taking a break this week with Daniel's situation and getting Timothy ready to go. We'll start back up, Lord willing, after Labor Day and am excited about another year to learn and grow together.
The path has been long and hard, but there are so many beautiful sights along the way. We appreciate your prayers so much. God is so very faithful and so good!
Praying for Daniel and all of you! So excited to hopefully see the photo shoot pictures too:) Thank you for the update!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the pictures. Praying for Daniel and so happy to hear you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteWill keep Daniel and all of you in prayer.
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for Daniel!!! Praying for you as you send your first off to college ... yikes!
ReplyDeletePLEASE ... Pretty please... may we get a family picture of you all??? We have not had a family picture done in 8 years! I am hoping next May to get one :). Tell Timothy we are praying for him, even though we are really disappointed he did not come closer this way for college ... we will forgive him :). Did you know that this baby is due on Timothy's birthday? His b-day will also be 3 years ago since the first time we got to meet you all in "real life" ... sweet memories :). Sorry about such a long comment ... miss you!!!!
Oh how painful pancreatitis is! Praying that he will soon be well and that Timothy will adjust to life at Bible College. Praying for you as well Dear Jaynee.
ReplyDeleteLove you Jaynee! Praying for Daniel and for you as your baby leaves. I know it's going to be difficult. My Josh leaves Monday. sniff sniff.
ReplyDeleteAs I pray for your family, I will be praying especially for Daniel and Timothy this week. And you too, dear Jaynee, as you have a lot to juggle.

Keeping you all in our prayers. Hope Daniel is feeling better soon. I can't believe Timothy is going to college, time certainly does go fast doesn't it? Can't wait to see the family pictures! Have a blessed week and know that you and your family are continually in our thoughts and prayers. :)
ReplyDeleteI have been praying for emotional healing and forgiveness. I will also be praying for Daniel's physical healing, and peace of mind for you and your kids. May Christ be glorified.
ReplyDeletePraying for Daniel's healing from pancreatitis and for you to be able to accomplish what your family needs, maintaining your health also. Also thinking of you as you send your "baby" off to college. Much love to you. Dianne P.
