Bitten...

Has anyone heard of Sarah Jessica Parker's new clothing line? It's apparently SUPER cute and quality stuff at crazy cheap prices. The website is bittensjp.com and it's sold exclusively at Steve and Berry's stores.

Neat!

What's been going on...

Well we've had a busy couple of weeks with moving into our new place, my mom and sister joining my dad and brother and completing the whole family living in Nashville now, and our great friends Eryn and David Jones coming to visit (for a brief moment!) We are thankful for the busy times...it means our lives are FULL! :)

Update on Kelee's mom: For those of you who don't know, Janis had a milignant tumor on her spine and they removed it last week. She's having some complications with lack of feeling in her legs, but they think this will come back over the next couple of months. They still are not sure if the cancer had spread from another part of her body, so please pray about that. Kelee is still planning on going into the Peace Corps to South Africa (after a long talk with her mom about it, they decided she still needed to go). She will leave mid-July, so also pray for her safety and for the Lord to lead her to people who need to know of His love. Pray for the Holy Spirit to speak through her in her words and actions.
Here are some pics from Kelee's going away party...we got her a "chunky" watch, and she was very happy about it:)

One more thing...if you haven't gone to baby Ethan's website (on my links) please do so. This is a potentially really sad story, but thousands of people are rallying together lifting up this little guy in prayer every second of the day. Please pray for June 18th: this is THE day that will decide the rest of Ethan's life...although we know that our God is not tied down to timelines. Please just take a moment to pray for complete healing! That's all for now. Oh and one of my very good friends is pregnant so that's super exciting. I won't say who it is just in case she doesn't want it broadcasted yet:)

URGENT Prayers Needed...

I was just reading through blogs on the internet today, and I just happened to stumble across this website for a little baby boy named Ethan who was diagnosed with Leukemia 8 weeks after he was born. I think they are from Little Rock, AR. They are at St. Jude in Memphis now. His mom and dad update this website every single day, and I ended up going back to the February posts (when he was diagnosed) and reading through all of them up to today. I was so touched by this family, their BIG faith in God, and their big need at this time...and the fact that one of my best friends was diagnosed with Leukemia in December and God healed her (Praise the Lord!)...I feel like I came across this website for a reason. Yesterday Baby Ethan began the last attempt of Chemotherapy and this is apparently the strongest kind he could go through. As I was sitting at my desk reading this, tears were streaming down my face. If you read through all the updates from the beginning, you will see why it cannot be time for this little warrior to leave this world. God has a huge purpose in this little boy's life, and I just feel compelled to tell as many people as possible to pray for complete healing for him. Please, do the same, and pass along his website to your own prayer warriors. This is the most critical time of their whole journey. Also pray for his mom and dad who have been through a lot.

Here is his website www.ethanpowell.com
go to the 'updates' link to read their posts. There are also pictures and videos. Here is the utube video link www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJX2JwaWmbc
of Ethan's journey. Beware, it's a tear jerker. I have also put the links to his website and utube video in my "links" section.

There is also going to be a nation wide prayer vigil for Ethan, this Sunday, June 10th. They are asking that everyone spread the word to their churches to take a moment during the worship service to pray for Ethan. Please spread the word!

I don't know why I came across this website...or why I feel so strongly about this family that I don't even know...but I do know that they serve the same God I do, and I have witnessed time and time again God's miraculous love and healing that he provides when we seek him.
Let's stand together in praying for God to put his healing hand on Ethan once and for all.
