EARS

Who knew that two little ears could cause so much trouble?

Chronicles of Jedidiah's ears:

• Jan. 7th- Went for Jed's 4 month check-up and he had an ear infection in his right ear
• Tx- 10 days of Amoxicillin
• Jan. 12th- Ears clear
• Feb. 1st- Double ear infection
• Tx.-10 days of Omnicef
• Feb. 19th- Second double ear infection
• Tx.-Shot of Rocephin and 10 days of Omnicef
• March 4th- Ears clear
• March 10th- Third double ear infection (4th total)
• Tx.- Another 10 days of Omnicef and a trip to the ENT
• March 23rd- Consult with the ENT- Dr Klug
• They did a test where they blew air into his ears to see if there was any fluid behind the ear drum
• There was, and they recommended PE tubes (Big suprise)
• March 25th- Surgery was scheduled for Monday March 28th @ 7:00 in the morning. We have to be there @ 6:15 and Jedidiah will have to be NPO after midnight. We will have one mad little boy on our hands since he won't get his 5:00 feeding. 

All that to say...please pray for little man:

• Pray that this situation will increase our faith and conform us in to the image of Jesus
• Pray that the Lord will uphold Jedidiah by the word of his power
• Pray that Joel and I will fight fear and anxiety by preaching the gospel to ourselves and each other. 
• Pray that the procedure will be quick and without complications
• Pray that he will wake up easily from anethesia.
• Pray that this will help all of us get a good night sleep ;)

26th Birthday

These are the things that made my 26th birthday GREAT:

• Roses from Joel before we left town on Friday
• Catfish dinner with the grandparents on Friday night followed by and fun game of Chicken Foot. (which I won)
• Shopping all day with Mom and Lil man on Saturday. (Jed did SO good and even rode in the cart like a big boy)
• Date with the Hubby on Saturday night at Red Lobster
• Seeing Jed's smiling face in the morning and some early morning cuddles
• HUGE breakfast on Sunday morning including breakfast cassarole, fresh fruit and bacon
• Gospel of John bible study with my favorite GC ladies
• Ending the day getting Happy Mexican to-go, eating it picnic style with my two favorite boys 

I rest my weary soul in Thee

O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Coffee anyone?

I think we might have a barista on our hands

Wordle

At church we are beginning an inductive Bible Study of the Gospel of John. I was playing around on Wordle and this is the result of John 1:1-18. I think it's pretty cool and worshipful!
