Mrs. Shirley Frazier

Mrs. Shirley Frazier continues to have trouble with her broken foot.  Pray for her to be able to endure the next few weeks with less pain.

Mrs. Kathryn Sanders

“Momma Kat” continues to progress at rehab.  She is doing well with therapy.  Continue to pray for her.

Her birthday is February 4th.  There will be a birthday celebration on the 5th at the rehab in Hammond.  I’ll post more information later.

Pray for the mission team from Amite.  They safely landed in Vera Cruz last night.  Pray they make a difference in many lives.

Jadon’s Story: Neurologist Appointment

Our appointment went really well today. They are taking me off of Topamax. We are very excited about this. It will take 7 weeks to wean me off this medicine. Please pray that my seizures will not increase. We really need to get me off some of these medicines. Once I’m off the topamax we will start a new medicine. It will either be zonegran or lamictal. I can’t be on topamax and zonegran at the same time. So if we are able to totally wean the topamax, we will try zonegran. If not, we will try lamictal. So we are very excited about trying these two medicines rather than the others with the more severe side effects. It’s basically try a medicine and if it doesn’t work take me off and try another. Hopefully we will find a medicine that works quickly. My neurologist was amazed at the progress I’m making. She said I look better each time she sees me. Thanks for praying for me. Even though we don’t have seizure control, I’m doing way better than expected 🙂

BOB BURST FROM the sterile delivery room wearing a white gown around his body, a big grin on his face, and “It’s a boy!” on his lips…

Rushing over to anxious grandparents and joyous friends, he repeated the news over and over amid backslaps and pumping handshakes.  But the communication of the joyous event did not stop there.  After all the hugs and handshakes, the exuberant father with a roll of coins in his pocket moved to a nearby phone for a round of calls.

Why all the commotion?  the birth of a child is a joyous, momentous occasion.  It is a time to celebrate and communicate the joy of new life and what God has done.  How could anyone not announce such a wonderful event?

The birth of a child parallels in many ways the birth of a churches’ vision.  Both are exciting, momentous occasions that demand communication of their existence to all those in the natural family or ministry community.  To birth a vision without conveying the vision would be as strange as birthing a child and not sending out birth announcements.  Yet this happens in some well-meaning ministries.  They develop and birth the vision but miss the importance of passing on the vision, thus frustrating themselves and risking the premature burial of the entire process.  Aubrey Malphurs, “It’s a Vision!” Developing a Vision for Ministry in the 21st Century, 84

I intend, therefore, to build a temple for the Name of the LORD my God,

as the LORD told my father David, when he said,

‘Your son whom I will put on the throne in your place

will build the temple for my Name.

~1 Kings 5.5~

We coming closer to this period of cold weather, but you have another opportunity to check on someone who might need assistance.  Have a great day!
