Friday Night - A Josiah Update

Hey All

Josiah's week has been more of the same: irritable, grumpy, lots of crying, repeat. It's most likely that's it's the combination of teething, adjusting to formula (getting gassy, accentuated by his hernias), and dealing with all the meds we are introducing to his system.

A couple prayer requests beyond Josiah's health: please pray that Marie's maternity leave goes through - it's been a long haul of this and that, and now because it's has taken so long we might not get everything that Marie's entitled to. Also, please pray for this Sunday because Marie and I would like to head up to Enderby for the day. Please pray that Josiah will have good nurses that day and that he'll 'behave' himself.

Thanks. In God's Love.
- Andrew, Marie & Josiah

Hi Marie:

I can't believe that on top of everything else you're dealing with Maternity leave benefits.

Lord I ask that You work in the hearts of who ever needs to be in the know about this and that all will go through not only very soon but in the full amount that Marie is entitled to. You know what that is and I ask that You would make it known to whoever down here needs to know. Thank You so much for taking care of all the little details that we need to function properly in life.

I ask Lord that you would provide nurses to give Josiah the intense and good care that he needs on Sunday and every day. Allow Andrew and Marie to go with peace to Enderby for a good day together and let them know in their hearts that You are always there watching over Josiah. Give Josiah a peaceful and calmness this weekend also. Ease anything that is uncomfortable in him and allow him to rest and strenghten in You.

Thank You Lord for all that You do. We love You always.

Sue

Hello Andrew & Marie ~

You are really going through the fire and are being refined as pure gold as the Scripture says. May God continue to give you hope and strength for each new day.

I am praying that the red tape will cease in the mat leave benefits immediately. Please enjoy your trip to Enderby. "God ~ cover little Josiah with your protection and allow his parents to relax and enjoy a special time away together."

Trusting God along with you ~ I send my love.
