Just a brief note of Praise and Thanksgiving, and a heartfelt thanks to all the praying wives and other prayer warriors. <P>I am sitting in a hospital bed with my laptop tonight, "trying" not to bleed. The Lord has blessed me beyond hope with comfort, security and strength. I can feel the presence of angels lifting my mood and preventing anxiety. Only the continued prayers of you and others can be credited with the astonishing blessings being poured out upon me and my family. God's will is being done, and I don't need to know what that is until the time is upon me. <P>Saturday morning I had tremendous anxiety about getting certain tasks done THAT DAY, but managed to only accomplish part of the list. Now I know why I awoke with such anxiety! LOL <P>With a lot of luck I may be home tomorrow sometime. Thank goodness H was able to bring my laptop over!<P>Thanks for the prayers. Baby is due in just seven weeks now. Just hope I can hold him and meet him face to face!

Thank You Lord that you have Karenna and her little one in the palm of Your hand. You alone give life Lord and we praise You that You are in control of the development and delivery of this baby. Father we ask for Your peace to envelop Karenna and give her the rest she needs to remain steadfast and calm in You. Continue to keep both Mother and child safe and secure in Your love and we look forward to the time Karenna will hold her little one. In Jesus Name <P>------------------<BR>"Perfect love casts out fear" I John 4:18

O, Gracious Father, <BR>Into Your great hands we commit Karenna and her son. Lord only You know the perfect plans You have for this child and his mother. Only You know how this will all be used for good. Only in You Lord can we trust, and hope. Father we praise You for the peace and comfort Karenna feels. We praise You for keeping her eyes on You, and her spirit hopeful. We praise You for boing such a personal God that Karenna can feel Your presence in this time of uncertainty and need. Lord, how loving and sweet Your gace is. Lord, let Karenna's faith in You be evident to all around her and let all Glory and Honor and Praise be to Your name. In Jesus name, Amen.
