Psalm 27:14

"Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD"

Things are not going well for our sweet girl. She cannot keep anything down, including liquids. Brian has moved her downstairs and packs pillows around her to help keep her more comfortable. Her tummy continues to grow causing her skin to stretch rapidly, both causing pain. Heavy doses of multiple meds knock her out for small periods. When I talked to him last, she was out of it and he was outside hanging Christmas lights.

Before I forget, I wanted to thank Robynn's Bunco group for making sure they came home to a super clean home and Myron for personally cleaning their carpets. Five minutes after arriving home, their next door neighbors showed up with enough food for an army, for days!
A big Yummy thank you;)

A SUPER DUPER thank you to Robynn's sister"Enni" for taking wonderful care of Robynn and Brian's most prized possessions...Brady and Hailey. This is no small task and is the most special of gifts.

There are many others who deserve personal thank you's... please forgive me for not mentioning each and every one of you.

Pray on!
S

I am so sorry for all the pain and discomfort you are in. I hope tonight will be better so that you can get some peaceful sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and smiling..! :) I'm sure the lights Brian put up will help. Somehow the lights of Christmas seem to make everything a little brighter.

I am always thinking of you and wish there was something I could do to help. Judy and I so enjoyed our visit with you... laughing and talking about old times. We're looking forward to the next time...

Robynn, you are the most beautiful person - inside and out..! I am so grateful to call you my friend.

I love you... !!!

Take Care,

Robynn,I ditto Lois' words to you. I pray that the Chrismas lights will signify the beginning of brighter days ahead. We so enjoyed spending the time with you and talking about old times. It was just like you to have baked us your specialty coffee cake. It was so delicious.

You have to start feeling better because Lois and I would like to plan for another visit. It truly hurts to know that you are not well and are uncomfortable.

Please know that prayers are being sent your way constantly.
Much love and prayers for more comfortable days.

Robynn,

Know that you have the Grace of God walking with you and with that comes great peace. I stand in prayer and agreement that your body will find comfort from pain, strength and nurishment. I pray that the mighty wings of the Lord continue to wrap you like a blanket as His warrior angels surround your home and family. Rejoice, for this is the day that the Lord has made! I give Him thanks and worship for all that He has done and the abudance that is forth coming. May your entire family feel strength and comfort in the spirit.

Again, I claim Psalms 77:14
"You are the God that performs miracles. You display your power among the peoples".

Amen and Amen with much love!!
Kellie Stroud :)

PS-Shelly, thank you so much for sharing with us. The Lord is using you as well to share His word.

Please God....Please be with us all...please take away all of our fears and anxieties....please help us to offer up to you all of our hurt, all of our wanting to be in control....Lord...please give us what we all need...only you can know what that is....we pray for you help us to rememeber that you carry us through our lowest times....you will never leave us. Thank you God for every single blessing you have given us....no matter how big or small. When we are at our lowest points it seems so very hard to remember all that we have to be thankful for. Thank you God....thank you. Please continue to guide us all in you way. For this we pray...
Amen.
