Prayer and Praise!

I know I did a blog already this morning, but we just got a prayer request. Carolie (the youngest sister who is in Durham this week) just called and said it is snowing in Durham. The weather reports in the area are calling for up to 6 inches or so of snow. Being from Maryland, Carolie is OK with driving in snowy conditions, but it won't hurt to say a few extra prayers for her safety on the roads going to/from the hospital.

Now for the praise. Donna called Carolie and put in a breakfast order. She asked for watermelon, canteloupe, and a sausage biscuit from Bojangles!! I am almost in tears here. This is awesome news considering that even though Donna has been eating yogurt and such, she really hasn't had an appetite for anything other than water and ice.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

  9. Way to go, Donna, That is AWESOME! Just another testament to God's mighty power, and the constant resilient strength of a warrior like you!You keep on getting stronger and we'll keep on praying for you. You are so blessed! I'm a friend of Bev's (actually i'm on the sound team at Bev's church that she's chairperson of, but we're friends too)and the sunday school class that I'm the deacon of has been praying for you for a long time. Romans 8:37 says, "in all these things we are more than conquerers", and you show us that every day. God bless you and your family.

  10. Donna, I was thinking 'I can't believe you', but I'm actually thinking 'you go girl!!'

    I haven't been home since Sunday, and haven't been able to read your updates. I sat down and read back through the past 3 days.....WOW!

    I'm sure you're feeling/seeing God smile too.

    Love you!!
