Ever Present Help

My posting is late, I have not been an ever present help to Jen and Drew; my own family needed me this weekend as we prepared for the beginning of school. Life pulls us in all differnet directions, yet we remain rooted in our Lord. Our God is an ever present help to Jen and Drew, providing fortitude, odedience and strength. Our God is ever present to Gigi, hearing our prayers, sensing our sorrow and apprehension and our joy. In this life, I do not know where I would be without His ever present help because even when I did not know that I needed Him, He was there. When life pulls so that we cannot be there for Jen and Drew, He is there with/for them. When Jen and Drew have to leave Gigi, HE is there with her.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1)

Kristy has provided a specific prayer list for conditions associated with premature birth:
"Please continue to pray for Gigi as she still is battling all of the "normal" complications of prematurity.
You may want to do what I do.....pray for specific body parts that can be heavily affected due to prematurity to include:
Her brain -no big "bleeds"
Her eyes -no long term eye damage
Her heart -no long term heart problems
Her lungs -no heavy need for oxygen or long term ventilator needs
Good IV access so that Gigi can get all of the extra needed meds,transfusions, etc. and that they all do their job WELL the first time around
Steady and healing hands for her caregivers to include the nurses and Doctors."

Keep the prayers flowing to heaven.....
