Please Pray for Charity

It has been a situation that we never thought we'd have to deal with. It never really crosses your mind.

You grow up together. Their life is kind of inseperable from your own in time and space. Your memories of them are forever young.

You just don't imagine your siblings facing death when they haven't even reached age 30.

Yet here we are. Amee's sister Charity has been battling a life threatening illness for more than 50 days now.

One of the most frustrating things is that they don't even know what it is. There is a lesion on the brain stem. It could be the result of a stroke, a cancerous tumor, or a rare inflamation.

The only thing certain is the physical and emotional agony that Charity is wrestiling with. And the emotional roller coaster that her family is on as they ask why.

Would you pray for Charity, her husband Jeremy, and their two girls Isabella and Sofia?

Pray that God would bring respite. Pray that He would bring healing. Pray that He would protect them from the attacks of the enemy.

Sometimes I look back on time and think to myself, "what have I done?"

What happended to this last week. Where did these last 6 months go?

On May 24th Amee and I celebrated 10 years of marriage, and I ask myelf, "What have I done?"

What have I done to be so blessed with a beautiful woman who loves me? Who am I to have a woman that not only loves me but loves God even more?

Amee is the best wife and mother that I could possibily dream of. Where have the last 10 years gone?

To celebrate we spent 4 days in St. Louis. I went to my first ever Cardinals game. We toured the downtown, went up the Arch and rode up and down the Mississippi. We also spent a day at Six Flags.

It was the best 4 days that I've had in a long time. I felt like we were able to reconnect in a way that isn't possible with 4 kids running around the house.

I am so thankful that God has revealed His grace to me by giving me Amee and allowing us to do life together.
