Yi and Mei Together: Urgent Prayer Request

Urgent Prayer Request

We are leaving early for Indy since Cassie's heart catheterization is scheduled so early for tomorrow morning at Riley hospital. We had Cassie in the emregency room this morning as she had what I would term an "episode" where she appeared to have some kind of a seizure but without the tremors. This episode was brought on by low oxygen levels which threw her heart rhythm off. But her pediatric cardioligist is very confident that the procedure scheduled for tomorrow will have Cassie well on her way to a long and healthy life. Please pray with us that that it is so.

Please pray with us that God shows His hand in this again. As He always does and has been so faithful even when our faith and strength waivers. Please pray once again for Him alone to receive the Glory and Honor and Praise as He restores her health and shows Cassie through this of His great and unending love for her. That he brought her here all the way from China where there was no hope for her future, but now....Through Him Alone...

Please pray for Randy and me as well as the past month has been somewhat of a roller coaster ride, and quite hard on the emotions at times. We are not complaining, but we could use your prayers, okay?

I will kkeep you posted...

Cheryl, you know that I'm praying for your family and Cassie even now. I will certainly keep you in my prayers and pray that God will do His work on Cassie and Katie Gracie's hearts. He is able! Love and prayers as you travel. May you be surrounded by God's love and peace each step of the way.

Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I--I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
