 “Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould,

but let God re-mould your minds from within …”

Raymond Cutrer’s post about Rafe

Hello everyone. Brandy and I wanted to thank you all for the many calls and messages regarding Rafe. He was admitted yesterday to Children’s Hospital with RSV. The very good news is that right now he is stable with good O2 sat’s and his fever has been under control today. The problems he is having stem from his existing condition. He is not strong enough to produce a good cough to clear his upper respiratory track. He is even further weakened by a seizure he had the day after Christmas and has not eaten since then. He is very sick and has been crying for two days straight. The plan is to keep him on iv fluids and nutrition until he “turns the corner” and begins to eat and drink again. The doctor seem to think this should happen within a day or two. We are moving in the right direction just slowly. On top of all this Brandy and I have RSV too! We need your prayers for Rafe and for us to maintain our strength. especially Brandys right ear which is full of fluid and won’t drain. To be honest we are exhausted in every way but we know and live for a God that is bigger than any problem we may face. We trust him completely and ask that you all pray for his will to be done. We are very thankful for all of our family and friends!

The Lottie Moon Christmas Tea was beautiful, well attended, and worth the time involved.  There were ladies from East Fork, New Zion, Bethel, Amite, and Kentwood.   It was nice to spend some time together as we shared about Lottie Moon.  Thanks to all who came and to all who helped make the tea come together.

 Let’s end the year thanking God for giving us 2012 and the opportunities it presented.  May we head into the new year with our hearts and minds focused on the meaningful things we are given the opportunity to do.
