Good Morning Everyone,
I truley mean it has been a good morning. Morninings are probably the hardest for me. I had
a good nights sleep two nights in a row. I have eaten well this week and been able to juice and
get good nutrients. I thank you all so much for understanding and supporting us. I know that last blog seemed like a list of things not to do. Thank you all for looking into our hearts to see that it really was requested with love. I want to say a very special thanks to Heather Love. She is the PE teacher @ BAy Shore and has coordinated meals for our family through the moms at Bay Shore. Heather has the biggest heart and with all she carries on her plate like many of you
she still finds time to minister to us. We have also been blessed to have meals provided indefinately on Wed. and Fridays . So between Bayshore bringing meals on Tues and Thursdays and the other taking care of , we are set. Connie really appreciates it too, since she would be the one cooking all the time.
We have no big plans for Labor Day a real treat would be to feel great and enjoy the family time. We hope you all have a wonderful , safe weekend.
I am out of news for now and alittlw groggy so I will sign off for now. Love Jen

August 29,2007

Hello, We hope everyone is well? Kevin's surgery went wonderful an he starts rehab Sept 5th. Connie (from) Iowa is doing well ans been an amazing help. Dot is doing well.
It 's been such a blessing for us to spend that time together.

I had fluid drained last week ,it has returned. The process is grueling and tiring and to do it
weekly is more than my body can do. We are trusting the Lord with what he will do to supply next.


So many have asked what they can do and We have given much thought to how efficiently we can run the home now that school is in.
One way is,
Thank you for your cards and visits. We are making a request that after the hours of 3:00 pm we have no company,or drop in company. Those are such busy hours and we need those hours for dinner,prep for the next day,home work,and family.

Second: Please don't include sweets in meals cakes,cookies,pies. We do not eat alot of that stuff and only on special occasions, and it goes to waste. I don't eat sugar as a rule and my hubby has done a great job dropping the weight so I want to encourage that. The children do better with out the sweets.
We eat fruit like cantaloupe, bananas, binge cherries, strawberries,grapes, Fuji apples, and
try to keep sweets monitored.
Please don't flog me, I am not saying we do this right all the time but we try.

Third , I don't rile out of bed or awake until about 9-10am so if those who do not need an asap call back please don't call before then.

We thank you all for understanding this situation is changing daily and our needs change.

Many of you have asked if we have needs lets you know. Probably a better way to work this thing may be if God lays a need or something on your heart then give us a call and we will go from there. This will alleviate frustrations on your part of not being asked to help somewhere,
it will help us with the appearance of being martyrs and not needing any help.

Several have expressed a desire to come pray with or for me . I am so blessed to have friends that are ready to lower me and my family through the roof .Countless people have been faithfully petitioning the throne of God from the sanctuary of their hearts. We ask that you continue as we need our home to stay as calm and fluid as possible specifically when evry moment counts.

We love you all . We hope these are as helpful to you as they will be to us. Jen
