Prayer Requests: 8-4-13

Hello Family,

Here are some specific ways you can join us in prayer in this season.  As always, thank you so much for your love and support

• Our Marriage - Please pray for the continued health of our marriage.  Losing a child definitely adds an interesting dynamic, so please pray that we would have extra grace, understanding and patience towards each other.  Pray that we would give each other the freedom to grieve as needed, but that we would grieve together.

• Jaden's Heart - Like ours, his little heart has also been broken, he misses his little brother very much, so please pray for his healing as well.  And again, please pray that this situation would draw his heart closer to the Lord, never farther away, and that we would be given wisdom on how to shepherd his heart during this time.  

• Physical Health - I am 20 weeks (5 months) pregnant today, and so far, my midwife has no pressing concerns regarding the pregnancy.  We had a sonogram on Friday that shows Baby is developing on track.  So please continue to pray for our physical health, and again for personal wisdom to know how best to steward my body during this time (And no, we did not find out the sex of the baby)

• Milestones - Each month comes with its own milestones, and the experience of each is unpredictable. Please pray for peace and comfort as various milestones come and go.  Key milestones are:
• 14th - the day Chase became a month older
• 23rd - the day our lives with Chase here become a month longer
• Holidays and Family Birthdays - these days usually come with memories of celebrating with Chase last year, so are often left bittersweet because of his absence

We love you and are grateful for you.  We are praying for you as well.
