I keep forgetting to tell you that Mr. James Miller was moved to a room (from ICU) Wednesday.  Yesterday, the physical therapist had Mr. James walk about 50 feet.  Today, the plan is for him to do that twice.  Pray for a good day for Mr. James.

It breaks my heart to share that Susan Tolleson Grabowski, one of my Texas cousins, has tested positive for Huntington’s Disease.  He father and sister have already passed away due to this awful disease.  Her brother and young nephew have the disease too.   As you pray for Susan, please also pray for a cure to this hereditary disease.

Third Thursday at the Cabin

Yesterday and last night, several people called to say they planned to come, but due to the weather, decided to stay at home.  Others came, despite the weather.  All day yesterday, I told David that God would send those He wanted to be here last night.  He did just that!

We had a wonderful group and two dedicated musicians, as well as a well-balanced meal and a thought-provoking devotional.  God blesses even when you might have your own doubts.

I’m  thankful that despite the weather in our area last night, it seems there was no major damage or loss of life.  I feel sure many people prayed a little extra last night because of the weather.  That’s not all bad!  It shows that people know how powerless they are and how powerful He is!

Thursday

You are my refuge and my shield;

I have put my hope in your word

Mr. James Miller had received blood and platelets again when we saw him yesterday.  He was feeling better and had gone most of the night without being given oxygen.  There was a possibility of him being moved out of ICU.  I will check on that today.

Keith Womack had his back procedure and is now feeling much better.

David has his ablation scheduled for March 3rd.  He has been cleared of all the concerns that came about because of the CT scan.  Thanks to all who have prayed for him.

Diane Frazier sang at Young at Heart at New Zion Tuesday.  She did an awesome job.  I only knew one of the songs she chose, so I got to hear some new ones.  They told stories that touched my heart.  I was blessed.

The Sovereign LORD is my strength;

he enables me to go on the heights.

Mrs. Ruth Cutrer called to request we pray for Terri (Donald) Smart who lives west of Tangipahoa.  She has recently received a bad health report in addition to other health issues she already add.  Terri gave “Miss” Ruth permission to add her to TPL.  I ask that you pray for them as requested.

Mr. James Miller continues to have ups and downs.  Keep him in your prayers.

Tuesday

You will keep in perfect peace

him whose mind is steadfast,

because he trusts in you.

Isaiah 26:3

 

Mr. James Miller is still at St. Tammany.  Keep praying.

David got an excellent report yesterday.  He received an all-clear on the report that had been so concerning and had put his ablation on hold.  David has an appointment tomorrow and will hopefully reschedule the ablation.  Thank-you to all of you who prayed for David.  We are back where we were several months ago and looking for a permanent end to the A-fib!  It’s amazing how one test report can change everything so quickly, God clears it all up, and gives a green light and a big wink!

1 God is our refuge and strength,

ever-present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear,

though the earth give way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

3 though its waters roar and foam

and the mountains quake with their surging.

Sunday Afternoon

David and I got to St. Tammany in time to hold Mr. James Miller’s hand and have prayer before they started a procedure on him.  They gave him platelets.  Immediately, they removed three liters of fluid.  All went well today.  Please keep praying as God leads you.  I know the family will be so appreciative.

So do not fear, for I am with you;

do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;
