Focusing on the Lord

We are waiting on the Lord, in full hope He will bring glory to Himself in healing Peggy. We all know His ways are not our ways and need to be ok with His plan no matter what direction it will take. We gathered around Peggy a few times today and layed hands on her and prayed. Peggy prayed that Jesus would move to heal her and yield all Glory to Him. Her prayer was strong and focused and declared that she feels this is not over. We ultimately want healing to occur. We all feel it would be an incredible healing and no one would be able to deny it was ALL God and no effort by man that healed her. We wait......

It was a tough day today. Peggy is weak and off-and-on in comfort. Here are a few prayer requests:

1. Peggy has alot of swelling around her face and upper body. She is having trouble swallowing. Please pray that this would open up so she can continue to nourish her body. She does have an appetite. However, swallowing is difficult.
2. She has been sitting in a semi-upright position for sometime now. She finds some discomfort at times. Pray for her comfort. Pray for her to be able to adjust and have growing strength to.
3. Her system is pushing fluids to her tissue in her upper body. Pray this reverses and that all her systems begins to accept fluids to strengthen and be poised for God's flushing miracle.
4. Peggy's faith and focus on the Lord, no real need here... she is sooooo focused, but pray that she maintains focus in the direction the Lord wants her. She is fully yielded to being an instrument for Him.
5. Pray for Larry. He is so focused, so balanced in his approach to this difficult situation. He is leveraging God's family around him to help with the kids and work through decisions. Pray for the Lord to lead him and negotiate through this tough time.
6. Pray for Lexi, Trinity and Josh. The kids have seen Mom today. They are processing in differing ways. They are surrounded by cousins and will be going to school tomorrow. They were there in our group prayers for Peggy and are seeing God move in this.

The Lord gave Peggy Galatians 6:9 "So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we DON'T GIVE UP. (emphasis again from Peg). Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity we should do good to everyone - especially to those in the family of faith."

In our reflection with Peggy we observed that God can do it!...that whatever is in His plan (like of course, healing Peggy). We just need to continue to hold out hope of what God can and will do. Until God says, "It's Over" ... IT'S NOT OVER. As believers we need to look to one another to carry the baton of His way and His will. Irregardless of God's intended path, we need to hold on strong to His way for our lives specifically. You may not always understand God's will, but trust that He does and know that His plan is perfect and glorious.

Heavenly Father, may your peace be on us. While the cliffs are steep on either side, your path is solid and that is where our focus is. Thank you for your saving grace Jesus.

Ok prayers warriors...do your stuff...Thank you all for lifting Peggy up.
