Weakness

I am focusing on 2 scriptures during this trial in my life. Although Joe is doing great and has not had anymore seizures, I still find it difficult to let God fully be in control of this situation. So I ask that during this faith builder I am going through that my friends and family will continue to keep me in their prayers. I am so very thankful for David during this time. He is being so patient and gentle with his words. Tomorrow is the EEG test so pray all goes well.



Here are my verses:

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, " plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


2 Corinthians 12:9-10
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties,
For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Thank you for your prayers

Lela, these are two of my very favorite verses. God is big, He is able, and this is not a surprise to Him. He loves Joe more then you and David do. He created Joe and knows exactly how his body is knit together. He IS in control. We love you guys and are keeping you in our prayers.
