Please Pray

Went to Giant's today and was going down the Health Food isle to get Skylar's milk. Was getting ready to put the milk in the cart and this guy walks by and says, hi, how are you? Then says hey to Kotah. Then he looks at all of us and then asks, you you guys drink apple juice? We said yeah, sometimes. he said, this won't take but 2 secs of your time, not trying to be a bother, but this is the best juice there is! It is 100% pure apple juice, it's like putting a straw right in the apple! He said, it's kinda expensive, but it's THE best! He was talking a little bit more and come to find out he goes to a church just down the street from us. He said, I am a Christian. (not too many people will tell you that in a conversation) He asked Curt if he was military and Curt said no, and then proceeded to tell him where he works. He then said that he just brought his wife home from John Hopkins. She just had a brain tumor removed. He then went on to tell us that she just recovered from breast cancer the year before. He said that she goes back Tuesday for a scan. He said he was scared that they would find more cancer. We told him we would pray for him. Curt handed him a business card and said please call me with how she's doing and the results. We will put her on our prayer chain so we all can be praying for you and your family during this difficult time. He was very grateful when we said that.
How weird, I am, how many of us come into a conversation like that, and it all started with apple juice! I have honestly never had anyone recommend a certain apple juice! But we ran into him for a reason, and that reason is so that we all can pray for him! His name is Jack and his wife is Jackie, their last name Clipper (like finger nail clipper he said :))
PLEASE remember this man and his wife in your prayers!
Jack and Jackie Clipper
Sounds like they have been through a very difficult couple of years, I pray that they can have a very good holiday this year!

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
