Weekly Update!

Sorry it has taken two weeks to update, I (nykki) have been doing some traveling and had a lot to deal with lately! :)

QOTW- What is your favorite scripture and why?

New Prayer Partners:
AML and Caren

Jess and Tarra

Andrea and Tobi and Sara

Prayer Requests:

Tarra-I would like prayer for patience. This is one of my big issues. With TTC, waiting for DH to graduate, moving, my school. You name it, I am impatient about it. Also, finals are coming up, and I definitely need prayer for that!

Lauren- Please pray for me because DH and I have to go to our one year not KU yet appts next week and I am really worried that something is really wrong. Plaese pray that all goes well and that I can get KU soon.

Brigitte-DH and I got kind of a rough diagnosis and could use an extra prayer.

Joy-A further update: My stepmom is going into surgery on Monday to remove the ureter tumor that is confirmed malignant. They will probably take her left kidney and ovaries, and do not know yet if her tumor is primary to the ureter or metastasized from elsewhere. They have also found nodules in her lung bases in addition to the lump in her breast, both of which will have to be dealt with after her surgery. We are very scared, and praying for strength and healing. My grandmother continues to do well, she is at home and recovering, and will be starting chemotherapy soon. God has been faithful and merciful, and we give him the glory. We are all in need of your prayers- Thank you so much, and God bless you all.

Mrs. Gardner- Please keep DH and his extended family in your prayers. We just found out that his uncle committed suicide tonight. It is a huge shock to the family. We just can't believe it. Thanks for the prayers.

Nykki- I am currently waiting to hear back from some job prospects, please pray that I get a job SOON!

Amy-I have two prayer requests: 1) I have an appt. with a "fertility nurse" on Wednesday to discuss our next step(s). So far b/w and u/s came back normal. Praise God! 2) I am a teacher, and the upcoming budgets are not looking so good for my district, area, and really, the whole state. Please pray that my job is safe since I am on the lower end of the seniority scale.

Bats- i'd like to request some help in praying for my prayer partner, AutumnBride.... she's waiting to ovulate so she and her husband may begin the IUI process.. and is becoming very anxious and frustrated. let's send her some love and peace!

Praise:

Mrs. Gardner- I went to check on an application for subbing and got offered a better oppurtunity: to teach! Of course, I will have to go back to school, but only for about a year. God is great!

  3. Favorite Verse: This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 NIV
    I love this verse because it always reminds me of the joy we can find in everyday life. No matter what is happening around me and/or to me, this verse lifts my spirits and refocuses me on God's glory.

    An update on my family: My stepmom's surgery went well, and she came home after 5 days in the hospital. She continues to recover well, although slower than she'd like, and had her staples out this past Thursday. My grandmother also continues to do well, and her spirits are high. My husband and I will be visiting them over Easter, and are praying for safe travel. God has been faithful and merciful to my grandmother and stepmom, and we are so thankful.

    Thank you for your prayers, ladies! God Bless you all.

  8. Thanks everyone for the prayers for DH uncle. He has been doing alot better.

    Favorite bible verse:
    I have alot. But the 23rd Psalm and John 14 definately carried me through some tough times when my grandaddy passed away unexpectedly 2 years ago. I'm sure most everyone are probably familiar with them. But here they are:

    John 14:1-8
    14:1 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; [1] believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? [2] 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” [3] 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. [4] From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

    23rd Psalm
    The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
    He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
    He leadeth me beside the still waters.
    He restoreth my soul:
    He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.
    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
    I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
    Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
    Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
    Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
    and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.
    -- KJV

  9. Some praise: I had an HSG on Friday and my tubes are clear. Thank God!

    New prayer request: The HSG showed some uterine polyps that could possibly affect fertility. If I'm not pregnant by July I will need to have surgery to remove them. Please pray that it will not come to that point!

  10. Praise - Dh's genetic testing came back normal. It seems like a huge weight has been lifted from him!

    Prayer request - We will be meeting with our Drs again soon to discuss options - please pray that there is something they can do to help us and that we can be eligible (and successful) with IVF.

  11. Currently my favorite verse is: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" 2Timothy 1:7. Its been so helpful these few weeks.

    My prayer request is simply that God will keep us safe during our move and just give us strength, and lead us to a new home church:)
