My nephew – update

All honesty, I really don’t know what is up with him, but I do know a few things.

 

He has what is called baby Chron’s disease which is better then full on Chron’s disease.

He is healing

He has had an MRI today

And He could come home today.

 

I will let you know.

Only God

Only God can make it a really small world.

 

It turns out that one of the nurses that help take care of my nephew is a friend of mine. I met her years ago at Church Camp. That was back in 2011.

We have kept in contact since then and even met up once. But she has been busy (good for her) and we haven’t been able to meet in a few years. Now – without my knowledge- she met my family. My brother was mentioning the names of the nurses, and her name showed up. Asked what she looked like, and I was pretty sure it was her. I messaged her later and sure enough she has been helping my nephew! WOW!!!

 

Only God can put together these things. It was a help to know that God is in control…

 

Thank you Lord for every little part of your design.

Having bad luck

Well, the past two days have not been great for me.

 

Saturday I wanted so bad to try and visit my nephew in the hospital, that I ignored the winter storm warning, and started on the way. Just a mile in I had a curb check. A pretty bad one. Thank goodness only the tires were damaged. Both right tires need to be replaced.

Only by God’s help was I able to get the car home without help. It was a very slow mile, but I got it home. My sister was in the car with me, and she got a little scrap from the jolt, but other then that both of us are safe.

It shook me up a bit. I feel so bad for ruining the tires. But, Dad is right. It could have gone a lot worse.

So tomorrow night, dad and I will take the car to be fixed. That will be a slow drive. My front wheels just spin, and it is not level.

Also I just kept bumping into things, and dropping things. And I didn’t sleep well that night.

 

Sunday the shock was kicking in. I couldn’t eat, I was dizzy (and couldn’t walk a straight line to save me) and I was shaking. I got a headache (Which is the worst for me) and went into a darker place then I would have liked. But as usual my sister was the best. She did her best to help me.

And again, I was clumsy.

However, I was able to get a good sleep which was nice.

 

Now Today I am doing well, and some ragularness is nice.

Jeremiah Week 12

Jeremiah 12:16, “And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.” 

Eldest nephew

Well, I found out yesterday whet the doctor suspects my nephew has. He has been feeling poorly since New Years. Pale, dark circles around his eyes, having to use the restroom quite a bit. abdominal pain, and some nausea. He has gone to a few doctors and has had several test done, but last week he went to see a specialist.

The Doctor thinks he has Chron’s disease. So he will be getting a endoscopy and colonoscopy in April. I hope he is okay. Our Family has a history of colon cancer, so I am a bit worried.

 

The poor kid is only 8.

 

Jeremiah Week 11

Jeremiah 11:8, “Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.”

My nephew

Now sharing babysitting with my sister, I get to spend time with my eldest nephew while the other two are napping.

 

I try to keep him off the electronics. Life isn’t all about them. We have been coloring instead – which I find is really fun- and it has been nice.

 

It is nice spending time with him again. I used to babysit him 5 days a week for 8-10 hours a day back when he was two. So we have a special bond of which I hope will stay. Along with me being his favorite Aunt!

Roots & Bitter fruit

Notes from Church:

 

Genesis 25:25-34

Sons of Isaac simply grew..

Leaving unfinished business will bitter.

Hebrews 11:9 12:15-17

Esau *Growth. *Parents. *Nature

Deuteronomy 29:18-20 – Turning away. Don’t walk in the imagination of your heart. God takes failing His grace seriously.

Fornication and being a profane person are choices that cannot be taken back.  (Profane- soiled)

Esau was the kid who every parent would want/He was hunter.

A worldly-godless person. He lived outside of God’s provision.

 

WATCH OUT!! Parent against Parent. Jesus Paid it all. God can fix things that are broken.

 

  1. Esau failed God’s grace concerning his future. (Gen 25:29-34) – Jacob is pity-less. Esau sacrificed his future on the alter on the immediate. He failed to see the seriousness of his decision. It was a sport to him to sell his birthright. He failed to listen to his conscience. He had no care for spiritual things.
  2. Esau failed God’s grace concerning his friends. (Gen 26:34-35) Choose friends wisely. Your friends determine most things. Hebrews 12:12-15 Examine each other and yourself. By the grace of God, friends can be the greatest help to your life and outside His grace they can be the most detrimental influence.
  3. Esau failed God’s grace concerning his Family (Gen 27:1-40) *Isaac and Esau’s scheme (1-5.) *Rebekah’s counter-scheme (6-17.) *The bitter fruit exposed (18-40.) NO ONE WON.
  4. Esau failed God’s grace concerning his Forgiveness. (Gen 41-46)

Esau had the opportunity to completly uproot all the bitterness. He could’ve acknowladged God’s will. He could’ve subjected himself to his brother and honored God, but he chose to live in his bitterness.

Genesis 33:1-4

Esau came to terms with God. He made it right!

God forgives… why can’t you?

Let God have his way.
