Child in Need of Our Help!

We have yet another child in need of Robynn's Armies prayers! Carol (Robynn's friend since 6th Grade) is at the hospital with her 3 year old son Brayden. He was admitted today for low oxygen, 104 degree fever, cough and Carol has been unable to comfort him.

Please pray for the strenght this child and his mother need to overcome this challenging time!

Mimi and I are running with BreeAnn's great idea. We will have BJ's in Bakersfield involved but it will be on a different date. Keep you posted!

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH to all of our family and friends who came to the blood drive. It was so nice to see all of you. My wonderful husband was able to capture some video of the event so that Robynn can get an idea of how amazing you all are. I don't know what else to say...It was a beautiful day!!! Big hugs to all of you!

P.S. I love you Robynn!

This morning I am still amazed and feeling so truly blessed from all the love and support extended to Robynn and our family during yesterday's Blood Drive/Robynn Fest. WOW!! Just like Jenni said...it was so wonderful to see family and friends...meet new friends....pledge our support for Robynn and family and each other. Thank you so much! I am so grateful for the community of West Sacramento for embracing Robynn's family. I appreciate everyone single person who donated blood, worked on this event and participated in any way....you are so special! A big thank you to Shelley for continuing to be our voice and cheerleader! Excellent job! Love with all my heart ~ Robynn's MOM/Mimi

Okay, so after speaking with Brian yesterday evening about your WBC I became a little discouraged. I began asking God, why can’t she catch a break?! Basically, one thing I have a little problem with is patience! (If you don’t believe me, ask Myron ~ I can be REALLY bad!) In any case, I was basically letting God know how I felt about this whole low blood count thing, and I wasn’t happy with it at all! We went to dinner, and I really just couldn’t wait to get home so I could get in my word and start really reminding God of His word for healing. Well, I must say, He put me in my place. I found a ton of scriptures reminding me of whom He is, that He is near and that He is great! He came through again! Someone once told me that prayer doesn’t always change our situation, but prayer will always change us! I would certainly have to agree with this in my case. I went to bed feeling a little bummed for doubting, but thankful that He loves me enough to show me things I may not understand. So, here goes:

What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him? Deuteronomy 4:7 (Basically, we can talk to Him anytime, anywhere, any way ~ well sorta; probably not the way I was talking to Him at first, I wouldn’t recommend that!) ;o) He is always listening, and wants to be near.)

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress. I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:1-2 (This was a great reminder; it was almost like a slap on the hand, because He is all these things, and I allowed my emotions too much control.)

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding; will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

I just thanked Him that he brought me back in; reminding me that being discouraged, inpatient, and anxious will do nothing positive; that’s the work of the enemy. I needed the reminder that based on who I am in Christ, and my beliefs, I will never be shaken! So, I stand again; looking forward to the next post when Shelley announces that your WBC is on the rise! I truly believe it because our God is so much bigger . . .

Stand Strong ~ Sweet Dreams
