In need...

of lots of prayer! We are working right now to get funds to start treatment. Its taking time, patience and wisdom. We are really needing your prayers. Life is hard and very challenging. We all need grace, patience, forbearance, wisdom, and love, just to name a few.
 You can pray for Joel as he heads up this big 'adventure' and handles the financial aspect of it. Mom, as she is the mom, :) but also sick and doing her best to work full time. Its a lot! Minnie, as she takes care of Nellie, and does her best at the house work. It takes a lot of patience and grace to be the Christ-like person she wants to be. Right now she has some financial needs as well that she's waiting for God to fulfill. She is also sick with Lyme Disease and treating, or trying to anyway. The funds are sometimes lacking for her as well.  And last, but not least, for Nellie as she lays in bed, living through all kinds of pain and sickness. She needs love, encouragement, and treatment.

Thank you all for your generous support!!!

The last 7 days...

This isn't very exciting news, but it is what life has been like for the last week. Nellie called for an anointing, so Thursday night saw us participating in that. It was a very nice service.
 Friday Mom and i (Minnie) left for Virginia for my cousin Amanda's wedding.  William came home that evening for the weekend so Nellie wasn't alone. Thanks to Charissa for taking Nellie to town for some appointments on Monday. We were unable to make it home in time due to a break down in White Sulfur Springs, WV. It is always nice to have someone close by, to help with things if we're gone.
 Nellie told mom when we got home she was having some trouble with her eyes. Since she is prone to Pink Eye, and was displaying symptoms of it, mom gave her some antibiotic eye drops. It still wasn't very resolved so Nellie made an appointment with the eye Dr.
 Today we went to see our favorite eye Dr. and he concluded that she just had some eye lashes growing into her eye. They were scratching the eye and irritating it. He was thrilled thats all it was and so were we!

I have not had much time to get that other video of her walking up. I will try to do it soon.
