Praying for Ted Pemberton

We got word tonight while at the Garmon's for small group that Ted had been trampled by a bull. He was helping a neighbor load it into a trailer when it turned. Travis Wix called and said he was being life flighted to Vandy for treatment. The word we got said he had broken ribs, jaw and neck injuries. Please be praying for Ted, Nadine and the rest of the Pemberton family.

Update on Lisa

Lisa's surgery went well. The lymph nodes they sent to pathology during the surgery came back clean and I am not sure if there is further testing to be done. She was in a lot of pain when they got her in a room but once they got her some meds she was feeling better. Pray for healing and wisdom for doctors as decisions are made for further treatment. Pray for Lisa's parents who are in BG taking care of the kids. And pray for those of us who will be loving her through this!!! Pretty easy thing to do!!!

Praying for Lisa

My friend Lisa is having surgery today in Nashville. They have decided to do a double masectomy and will take some lymph nodes. Please pray for her, the doctors, her husband and sister and I will be at the hospital, her parents are staying here to care for the kiddies, and for wisdom for post op treatment options. Her choices are somewhat limited by her Lupus.
I'll update when I know more!

Catching Up!

Sorry that I didn't post what happened at the hearing before now! (Sorry Ann Kelly :)

Hunter is staying put for now and the parents have been told again to have the required evals done. No new hearing has been scheduled at this time. In happier news!! We got to see him today! Along with his sisters and brother (whom we have never met). Ben's family was here for Christmas and Deleana had all four of her grandbabies with her (their parents didn't come because, well it would take TOO much space to tell that story :). We had a great time! But it broke my heart to see him and to have to let him go. I don't know how Deleana does it! It hurt to see all of them and then let them go...

We have had a great holiday season and are looking forward to more Christmas tomorrow and I get to have lunch Monday with some of my Cedar Crest friends!! On New Year's Eve my college roomie and maid of honor is stopping by with her family. Amanda and I had completely lost touch and now I know why I couldn't find her! She got married and he is in the Army so the move alot! Right now they are in Texas!!! I think a trip to Texas is called for this summer!!

Here are a few picts from all the fun! Oh and Wes lost his 2 front teeth on Christmas Eve! He looks so cute!!

He has lost both upper teeth and 1 on either side on the bottom. Wes kinda looks like some weird reverse vampire :)

This is Noah, Deleana, Hunter

Tiara and Keelee

Every one's favorite picture! Ben and Linda duct taping Aaron's mouth shut!

Hope you all had a great Christmas!! We did!!

Hunter Hearing

There is a hearing today for Hunter's case. Ben and I are not able to be there and it is hard to have to wait to hear the news second hand. We know that his step mom had one drug test (she was supposed to have them every 2 weeks) and may have had the required number I am not sure. She did not do the drug counseling evaluation nor the domestic violence evaluation that dad and step mom were to do together. I fully expect the failure to complete the evaluations will fall on the case worker in Grayson county. Ben's sister has said that step mom has tried to get them done (at least the drug eval) and that they hadn't been able to get the money to do it. The judge ordered the state to pay for the tests and evaluations. It seems the programs are set up to be paid for by the participants and then reimbursed by the state. So who knows how the judge will view all that. I know I am rambling...
Please pray for Hunter and the judge and case worker and the family. There is so much playing into this case but I do have the faith that God is sovereign over it all!! Thanks for the prayers I know are on the way!!!

Praying for the Fee family.

Most of you guys know I started working for the BEST CLEANING COMPANY (thanks Kathy and Kurt :) in Bowling Green this summer. We clean the new Western Kentucky Orthopedic Associates offices on Friday nights and I was dusting the doc's private offices last night. I love doing that job because you see what is important to those guys and for most of them it is family. When I have the job of dusting those offices I always feel led to pray for these doctors and their families and patients. Last night as I entered Kirk Fee's office I prayed for peace, and ease in the passing for Kela. I prayed for strength, and peace and understanding for Kirk. I prayed for God to protect the hearts of Alex and Baxter. That He would use this experience to bring them to Himself. As I finished I realized I had been there a while and glanced at my watch noting the time was about 10pm. I was blown away to read on Kela's Caring Bridge page that she had passed away shortly after 10pm.
I have always known that when the Holy Spirit lays someone on your heart there is a reason. What a blessing to know that our all knowing, all caring God speaks to others and has them cry out to Him, for us, when we are unable to. I praise God for revealing this truth to me in a real way last night. And yet one more person has been touched deeply by the example of Kela and Kirk Fee.

Holiday Rush!

I usually don't get stressed about the holidays this early! But my sister arrives the 10th so maybe that is why I am stressed so soon! My family will be here next Sunday for Christmas with Emily and to see the kids sing at church. Emily never gets to do stuff like that since she is in LA so I am glad she will get to be here!
We have thawed from the parade yesterday and I got some pictures to add soon (when I have longer than 5 minutes)
Please be in prayer for Kela Fee and her family. She has been moved to the new residential Hospice facility here in Bowling Green. We have great love and compassion for Kela, Kirk and the boys, as I know a lot of you do too. Pray for them as the face their all to brief future together with unbelievable grace and faith!
