Good Morning,
Sorry for no post in the afternoon yesterday as we took a Sunday off from the post as well. Once again we want to say we are overwhelmed by your comments that are coming from all over the world. So many of you we do not know personally but your prayers are appreciated and have power. Thank you, thank you.
We had an incredible time at Church yesterday. We had a pastor contact who met us at the door and others assisted Jerod, Alex and Annie to get them where they needed to go. It is a very large church but we were given a few minutes to share during the service and a prayer by the pastor. Annie was with Keri in the childrens area and played well and walked the whole time. She cried at the end as she did not want to leave. Thank you Sagemont for the love you showed us.
We had to give Annie another cleaning last night. This is still difficult to see Annie in pain as we clean and dress her wounds. Her skin is healing but please pray for faster healing as these are tough for Annie (and for us) and she definitely knows now when these times are coming and gets very anxious.
She is still sleeping right now and slept okay last night. We have an appointment later this morning at the hospital for another cleaning and some physical therapy. Keep up the prayers as they are working. We praise God she is walking more and trying to use her fingers on her right hand more to play. Her personality is back and she is talking lots. The first 4-5 days after the accident she talked very little.
We will check back in later. The Woods
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
Thanks for the updates so we know how to pray. We'll definately keep praying for all of you and to thank God for the church family yesterday.

I praise you for drawing the Body together to pray for one of their own. I praise you today, for the healing You are doing in Annie's body. I pray that You will also heal the hearts and calm the fears that Annie, Missy, Greg and the boys.
I thank you Father for the love and compassion shown the Wood Family by Sagemont Baptist Church and the extreme love and blessings Biltmore Baptist Church continues to show.
Continue the great work You are doing in the lives of the Wood family as well as Your work through them in their village and with the Purepecha people.
How very BEAUTIFUL, is the Body of Christ!
We love you "Papa" for your love, mercy and grace. ~ Amen

Today we gave one of our friends here in East Asia the English name Annie in your honor. Our friend wanted an English name so we chose your beautiful name that has been on our minds all week. We love you guys.

So thankful that you all were able to go to church yesterday, and that you all had such a great time, especailly Annie. We pray many times thoughout the day for all of you.

Miss -
ReplyDeleteStill praying here in Japan. I am sure the emotional strain is heavy. I pray God restores you and Greg each moment of the day. May He BIND your hearts together through the pain, and may He defeat any attmept by the Enemy to divide.
May He give you courage for each moment. May He continue to renew Annie's spirit that she may SHINE through this trial. May God grant Jerod and Alex with understanding and patience BEYOND their years to walk with the family through this trial. May you all know that He is faithful and He is good. Miss, I so wish I could just give you a great big hug!!! Our family continues to pray daily for you all!!

Hi to all of you. We had a wonderful time watching our precious Savannah graduate from High School last night. We got home this afternoon and rested. I got on line and read the latest news. We are all still praying for you. Remember, you are allowed to "loose" it sometimes. You are human. So cry if you need to, yell if you need to, God will understand! Are you going to be in Galveston for another week? Let me know if possible.
ReplyDeleteHope you are already in bed, and sleeping weil. Annie, we love you, Jerod and Alex, keep being the "strong" little boys you have been. We are so proud of you.
Love,
Aunt Char and Uncle Frank
