saturday

Hello Prayer Warriors, We are so thankful for you all. Yeah for more map stickers in Asia! Thanks Amy. Erin is doing well this morning. Last night she got nauseous and couldn't take her nighttime bucket of pills. That's probably why she feels o.k. this morning. Sometimes you just have to say no. Bill, Amanda, Laura and I went to clean out Erin's room at school. We have never seen so many pens and paper clips in our lives. Erin was so sad that we had to move all that stuff out. She really wants to be able to go back to teaching this year, but the Dr said no. As a matter of fact the Dr said we have to treat Erin like a newborn baby when she has her transplant. She can't be exposed to anything until she is reimmunized 6 months after the transplant. She will have to have all the "childhood immunizations" all over again. Anyway, lots to learn. We are eternally grateful for your company on this journey and blessed by your love, janet

Not sure this scripture matches the note today but I couldn't get it out of my head, so here goes:

"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me." Matthew 18: 3-5

The whole procedure sounds so scary, doesn't it? But God will help you see it through.
Thanks for telling the procedure because we can pray for all the individual steps.

Our Prayer Warrior group is praying for Erin, too.

Love, Eunice

Don't worry about not being able to teach this year...I have some ideas for you.

1. Start working on your autobiography.
2. Learn a new language.
3. Think of how much you love having me as a friend! :-)
4. Start an on-line business...I have no ideas as to what though
5. Watch TONS of Friends episodes and imitate (sp?) a different character each week
6. Think of how much time your saving NOT replying to parent emails

Well that should do for today! Let me know if you need any more suggestions...I full of "GREAT" ideas! ;-)

Love ya bunches!

Oooooo! I thought of another one!

7. Use the endless amounts of paperclips to make paperclip garland for your Christmas tree

Hi Blonshines! I agree with Eunice! All of this does sound scary doesn't it? But thankfully you are not going it alone. God will see you through. I always think of a quote I heard from Charles Stanley many moons ago.... "I have the omnipotent Son of God at my right hand... in what shall I fear????" Also, thanks for the individual steps.... that way we do know exactly what to pray for when we're talking to our God about you!!

Sleep tight!
We love you all!
Pam
PS...Do you have the cutie pie band aides for those immunization shots? Those always help! And so do stickers!!!
