Please pray for my family. We have been dealing with sickness since the beginning of January.. well, even before Christmas when my son came down with strep throat.
In the last 4 weeks, I've had bronchial pneumonia, my daughter has had a sinus infection, pneumonia, and now strep throat. My son now has strep throat and this makes the 3rd time since Christmas that he's had it. Thankfully, my husband has been spared from any of this!
I'm feeling much better and am able to get things done around the house. My daughter finished her antibiotic on Sunday for her pneumonia and then Sunday night after church she started chilling and shivering and was burning up with fever. She said her throat hurt. Yesterday, my son said his throat hurt a little. So, off to the doctor we went. They both have strep throat. This is the 4th antibiotic that my children have been on since January of this year. That can't be good for them.
Sometimes it starts to take a toll on me with all the sickness but then I think how blessed I am that these are only temporary illnesses for my children and that they don't have a chronic or terminal illness. And after seeing the pictures of the precious baby girl born in Guatamala, I feel like a real heel for having ever complained.
I would appreciate your prayers that this will soon pass from our household. Thanks so much!

This is an edit because I would also like to ask you all to prayer about another issue we are facing. My husband and I are about to lose our house. We just can't make the payments. We've even gone so far as for me to look for a job outside of the home. We committed it to prayer and I sought employment in several locations. Nothing came through. Absolutely nothing. My husband and I both know this is the Lord reminding us that my place is in the home no matter what. So that's where I'm staying.
.. I truly don't want to leave the home but was/am willing to do what needs to be done for our family.
Anyway, I'm sure our home loan is now in foreclosure and I don't know what we are going to do. Thanks so much for praying for us.

Lord help thou mine unbelief. Amen.
