Caleb is up and walking...

I just got off of the phone with my bro, and he sounds much better. He was able to walk around outside today with Dad, despite the frigid weather. Apparently, we in the south can't handle the cold weather. Personally, I am a wimp when it comes to the cold. Anyway, he says the pain level has dropped considerably, but is still bad. Please continue to pray for him when the Spirit leads you to.

An updated update....I think

Well, the doc says that Caleb had a LOT of arthritis around his vertebrae which is unusual for his age. He has been in a great deal of pain. Dad said it's the kind that makes you wanna bite down on a stick. It hurts me to know that he is pain, but I am glad to hear that there have been lots of visitors to help him through it. He has been trying to walk around a little and learn to wear the back brace, but it has been difficult since they don't have a walker that can accomodate such a tall man. We ask that you continue to pray that God will help ease his pain and will grant him a quick recovery.

Update on Caleb

The most recent report I have heard is that Caleb is finally able to go to sleep. The surgery appears to have been a success but he is in a lot of pain. They had to use some of the bone from his hip and some metal rods to fuse part of his spine. He was able to get some jello down today and should be able to eat tomorrow. It was sort of strange...his name is a good name. Just like Caleb in the Bible. Not afraid of anything.

I was glad that I was able to spend some time with him on Saturday and just have some fun.

We are grateful that God has His hand on him.

Skype's good, but it ain't my husband.

So Tim's in Columbia and I'm over in Lawrenceville, GA (commonly known as Larry-ville). We did get to spend the weekend here together, but now he's gonna get back to it. I am scheduled to hang out with my nephew Landon for the next 3 days, while his father has spinal surgery. It's funny how I can always crave my immediate family while living in SC. Then as soon as Timothy leaves me here and heads home for work in the morning, the loneliness sets in. I am really dreadin' going to bed. He's like my pillow or security blanket. Learning to sleep without Tim is like learning to sleep with socks.....who wants to do that, ever?!?!

Whenever Tim has to go out of town on business, I usually do some sort of work to a rediculous hour until I can' t possible stay awake any longer. So until the last 15 minutes, I have been watching Man vs. Food and Skyping with (you guessed it) Timothy.

All that leads me to my next thought. I can't help but wonder if looking at this screen and seeing the video stream from the other side of the laptop is what my close relationships are gonna be like once we move to the former-Yugoslavia. I really hope that you all are well versed and have really gotten down your Skype skills before we leave. I don't wanna feel lonely with out at least a video and the voice of my friends and family. If you know me at all, you know how I can't keep my mouth shut and my thoughts to myself. Thanks for following that route of thinkin'.....night night everybody.

-In His Hands,
Rachel

Urgent Prayer Request

Please take a moment and pray for my brother Caleb. He will be undergoing a complicated spinal surgery on Monday and he could use your prayer support. Rachel & I appreciate your prayers during this time.

Obama Inauguration

1/20/09

I was watching bits of pieces of the inauguration today and I was happy for our country. I was glad to see patriotism and faith in our leadership. I didn't vote for Obama, but we have been praying for him since he won the election. I was torn between pride and fear of the future for our country. I think we should all continue to use our most powerful force and that is prayer. The truth is, our country has been on a down-hill slide for decades. I look at the culture and lack of morality of our country and it almost brings me to tears. I see a country that God once poured out blessings on that is now on it's way to destruction. I hope that true revival breaks out and our country turns once again to God and that He will have mercy on us.

We need your prayers!

We have a specific prayer request and so we thought the blog would be the best place to post it. We have found a small apartment to rent and have sold most of our furniture. What we need now is a renter for our home. Could you play specifically that God would provide a renter for our home? We would love for the home to bless someone else as much as it has us and selling it isn't an option right now. We have listed the home with a management company and they have begun advertising it. You can see photos of it here.
