Asking for continued prayers

Well, I know it has been a while since I've updated so I thought I would let everyone know how things are going. Momma is doing pretty good. She is still running a fever and they have not found out what the fever is from. She is trying to keep it below 101.1 which is what the doctor considers a fever. She is doing fine with chemo. It has not made her sick. She is still having to get blood about every three weeks. Just please continue to pray for her. Now about Paul's job. Still nothing. His severence pay runs out in one month. We are getting a good return on our taxes which will help us out and I thank God for that. We did hear on Monday that he did not get the job with Univar. I just honestly do not know what we are going to do. I keep praying that God will open doors soon. He has his resume with another company but I do not think they want to hire anyone right now even though they need sales reps. I just ask that everyone please keep us in your prayers. I know it is in God's time. I feel like such a failure because I cannot seem to stop myself from worrying. Anyway, I cherish all of your prayers right now. Shel

Dear Father in Heaven, Please easy my sister's fears as she waits for the answers you will bring. Give her the strength to rest in you. Love is patient and you are true love - give us patience Lord. Amen. In His Grip Always, Sally

Sally, thank you so much for the prayers. Paul and I both really appreciate them. Patience is one of the hardest especially in certain situations. -- Love, Shel

Shel, I have been through what you are going through right now, with hubby having a hard time finding something decent...and it went on for a LONG time...BUT God finally delivered a great job, after lots of false hopes! So hang in there, we are living proof!! Prayers sent your way! Valena

It is stories like yours that keeps us going. I know God has something good planned, we just have to be patient and continue to have faith. Thanks for the prayers!! -- Love, Shel

Shel you are not a failure for worrying. It's natural to worry! Believe me, I worry too. God is your source and He is able to do abundantly exceedingly above what we could ever think or ask. Which is why I know that the Lord has the right job out there for Paul. Father, Holy Spirit, guide Paul to this job. I know Father that you have the right job waiting for Paul. Open the doors, put him in key places to meet the right people and guide him to his job! I know you are able Lord, I know also that you are not willing that your children should suffer! You give us good gifts! Father, I ask you to come in like a flood with joy, peace, comfort and blessings that Shel and her family cannot contain! Flood Shel with peace and joy beyond anything she has ever experienced before. When she worries Lord, comfort her with your word. When she fears, comfort her with your word. As she walks this trial, may your word be bread and life to her. Thank you Father for your faithfulness! I love you. In Jesus Name, Hugs, Robin

Robin, that prayer brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much. -- Love, Shel

Hi Shel, God is in control of your situation. Your husband will get the job that the Lord has for him, in His time. Trusting God is the key. I will keep your mom and your job situation in prayer. Hugs, Trish

Trish, that is the only thing keeping me going right now is my faith in God that He has the right job for Paul. I do trust God, but continue to find myself worrying, and I don't want to worry. I find myself just talking to God all day long. I am thankful that mom has had a good week. Her fever has stayed down and she has not had to go back up to the hospital this week for more IV antibiotics. Thank you for your continued prayers! -- Love, Shel

You have my prayers. God opens doors for me sometimes if I will get out of the doorway and let Him through. God may say "wait" but He never says "worry." (I have a bookmark that says that.) Sending you prayers, love and hope, Joni
