Thank you for your prayers...

Hello dear family and friends,

Well, I watched the sun set on another day filled with its ups and downs, but three things I know... God is real, God is here, and God is working. He has been so faithful, giving us peace in the midst of uncertainty and pain. I have never felt so clearly before the posture of being a vessel for the Lord. I am truly just along for the ride.

For those who don't know, on Wednesday afternoon Alex was in a motorcycle accident and has been in the hospital for the past five days. His injuries are primarily on his right side and include several broken bones in his arm and leg. He has been doing so well with his physical therapy the past few days. So well, in fact, that he was able to move to the rehab unit today. I am so proud of him. For three days Alex will be on the rehab floor learning all the practical things he needs to make a safe transition to home. The plan is he will be home on Friday.

A few prayer requests:

1. Please pray that Alex can eat and keep down food. The drugs he is on makes him nauseous. He really needs to get nutrients so his body can heal.
2. Please keep praying for his progression in physical therapy and that his blood pressure would stay up.
3. Please keep praying that he does not develop an infection.
4. Please pray that his heart will stay encouraged throughout this process.

I can't begin to tell you how the Lord is so fully providing for our every need. He is our fount of every blessing and I can't help but tune my heart to sing his praise his streams of mercy are never ceasing and most definitely call for songs of loudest praise!

Thank you dear loved ones.
Joy
