Another day of worship! Yea!! We are headed to church today. A large church in Houston made us feel so welcome last week, that we are headed back there again today. So many churches here in Texas have shown us an outpouring of love and we are very thankful to them all. Of course we have felt this outpouring from churches all over the world in many different languages. When we felt called to Mexico, I (Missy) was so scared and thought the safest place to be was in the center of God's will. I was quickly told that was wrong. Being in the center of God's will is maybe the most dangerous place to be because Satan doesn't like it. However, I was also quickly reminded it may not be the safest place, but it is the BEST place to be! Our whole family has experienced the blessing of being in the center of His will.
Annie is doing better each day, crying a little bit less. She is definitely trying hard to use her hand more as you can see from this picture! :o) She is a real fighter. She still hates bath time and that may not go away for some time. We praise him that she still has her personality and is our little "Sunshine." She wakes up with a smile on her face and then asks for medicine. Please keep us in your prayers on Tuesday. We are hoping that the Dr. will tell us we can go home. Annie keeps asking when we can go back to her Mexican home. As of now, our answer is someday soon. Please also keep us in your prayers about her seeing a psychologist on Tuesday. They are a little concerned about some of her fears and they will be doing an assessment of her on Tuesday as well. Keep my parents in your prayers as they travel back to SC today. They were a huge help to us and we enjoyed every bit of our grandparent time.
We are off to church, hope you all have an incredible Sunday! Love you all!
Dear Annie,
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at church! We are so happy to hear that you are getting better and that you are using your hand more. What a brave girl! Keep those doctors on their toes! ;)
All our love,
Tim, Becky, and Jacob
DEAR ANNIE, MISSY, GREG,JEROD, ALEX & FAMILY,
ReplyDeleteI AM HAPPY TO SEE THAT YOU ALL HAD A HAPPY WEEKEND AND THAT ANNIE IS GETTING STRONGER. I HOPE THE DR. VISIT ON TUESDAY IS VERY POSITIVE. REMEMBER THAT A SINGLE SUNBEAM IS ENOUGH TO DRIVE AWAY MANY SHADOWS. IT TAKES BOTH RAIN AND SUNSHINE TO MAKE A RAINBOW. MAY THE PEACE OF GOD BE WITH YOU. MY LOVE & PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. CARL SENDS HIS LOVE ALSO.
LOVE, ROBIN
LOVE, ROBIN

Dear Missy and family,
ReplyDeleteMissy, I'm one of your Mom's first cousins back in North Carolina. I just learned yesterday (from your Aunt) about Annie's fall and burns. From your blog, it is obvious how much the prayers of many have helped Annie and your family the past two weeks. My husband and I are adding our prayers and sending our love.
Thank you for posting the photos. Little Annie looks so much like her "Mama Say" did when she was little. We will pray especially that Annie feels more and more like herself and that this coming Tuesday's report is an encouraging one.
Much love,
George-Anne (and Matt) Brown

Dear Annie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a big girl you are, wearing lipstick!!! Did you make Shriner all by yourself? The cheerleading outfit and flip-flops are so cute!!! All your friends and family are so proud of you! Your Indiana family wants to see you again real soon. Take care, Annie, and be a brave girl.
Love, Debbie (your second cousin)

You are in our prayers daily - especially for tomorrow's appointments. May God's perfect timing be evident in the outcome of tomorrow's appointments. Anxious to hear how God has healed beyond the doctor's expectations!

Hi to all of you, We have been gone since Saturday. I went to
ReplyDeleteSavannah's graduation party, then I left there and drove to "Daytona to meet Uncle Frank for his 55th class reunion. WE WERE THE COOLEST, YOUNGEST LOOKING COUPLE THERE!!! I am so glad to read that you got to go to church again. I will be praying for great news from the doctors tomorrow. God is still in control.
Missy, thanks for reminding all of us to keep on praying. you are right, it is so easy to slack up on it when you feel they are doing better.
Will be waiting for your news tomorrow.
Love and prayers,'
Aunt Char and Uncle Frank
