Thank you all…please pray for wisdom for us to decide if I can go to the funeral. I so feel like I need to grieve with my family. I can’t imagine not being there with them…it just wouldn’t be right!!! The fact that I had a baby just 10 days ago…I just don’t know! I know if I hadn’t had her yet I wouldn’t be able to go for sure, so the fact that we chose to have her the earliest possible could be God’s care for me to be able to go…even if it’s just for a day or two!
I know that God is sovereignly orchestrating all the details…we just need to have His wisdom!
Going out for a drive with my family…please pray for Jeremy! He has some major stuff going on at work right now and they are wanting him to do alot of work from home…then we got this news and he’s not working anymore, but I know he’s thinking about it.
Mindy,
I’m so sorry! I’m praying for you! Grieving with family is so important and a good opportunity to share with others about Christ. I am praying there will be a way for you to go. My grandpa died last year and it affected me more than I thoughtit would. I loved your Nana too and am sorry. Remember God collects all our tears in a bottle (Psalms), He sees them all! Love you girl!

Mindy, I am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful lady and a great role model. I fell in love with her the first time I met her. She had a gift of love that many never possess. She was also smart, very beautiful outwardly as well as inwardley. You know how to reach me if you want me to do anything,. She has been so good to my family. Making all of us part of hers. Love ya, Sweetie
I am terribly sorry to hear this news. I just logged on because our computer has been down since the move. I had no idea your Nana was so sick and needing prayer. I know you will make the right decision as to whether to go to Texas and do what you think is best going to help you come to peace with this situation. I know it must be difficult to know what to do but the good thing is that God knows and he knows you are struggling with your thoughts. I pray He will give you quick and decisive answers for what His plan is for you. I am wishing I could be with you and let you know that my heart is crying for you and your family. She has been such an important person in your family. Please let me know if I can do anything for you and the place that the funeral will be held. My prayers are with you and your family.May God give you everything you need to get through this difficult trial. Love you so much and wish I was with you.
Thank you for praying for Jeremy. While we were out this afternoon and early evening his boss and some other coworkers appear to have solved the problem they were asking him to work on, as well! Keep praying for a smooth testing experience at ICI so that he can focus on other things. Love you all. Please also pray for my Pop…I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like for him. I can’t imagine what my life is going to be like without her in it and I dont even see her everyday. She was such a joy to everyone who ever met her…she is going to be soooooo missed! (extreme understatement).
I love you, friend. I grieve with you. Let me know what I can do to serve you in this complex time of physical recovery and loss.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of stars and gives to all of them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. Psalm 147:2-5
Mindy, you are so loved and I’m praying for you! I loved knowing your Nana. She was a joy to me! I thoroughly enjoyed being around her. I know you were SO close to her. I wish I could hug you right now! Love you much!
Psalm 27: various
For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will lift me high upon a rock.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!
You have said, “Seek my face.”
My heart says to you,
“Your face, LORD, do I seek.”[e]
Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
O God of my salvation!
I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living!
Wait for the LORD;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the LORD!
Well, after looking at all our options and risks we’ve decided to drive to Texas. It’s not recommended to fly with a newborn under 2 wks because of germ circulation in an airplane. Also, this allows us to take all the kids and save LOTS of money.
So, this is what has to happen tomorrow BESIDES packing and loading and eating and feeding the baby:
1) I need to get in to see my doctor so she can inspect my incision
2) We need to find a pediatrician to check out Brianna. We have an appt. with ours on Monday, but he’s out of town this week.
3) Cancel Monday’s dr appt. for Brianna
4) Reschedule Jer’s Tuesday Eye dr appt.
Oh, Mindy. . . I can’t tell you how sad I am for you. I know how much you love her. I will be praying for you and your kids and your mom. Please let me know if you are going to Texas so I can help out with the kids. I am not leaving for my trip until this weekend.
I love you, friend, and weep with you.

Mindy-
I am going to call you tonight and have been crying off and on all day. When I went to see Nana Sunday, she was so up and doing so well. The whole time I was there she kept asking about me and how everything was going in my life never once complaining about herself. She showed me her pictures of you and the little ones and talked about how precious you were to her. She was so awesome and went home and told TJ how precious she is and loving.
Mindy,you know how much I love you and yours and my heart hurts for you .I know how much a part of your life your Nana was and how much she will be missed.She was always kind and sweet and caring. You have that in you. Praying for a safe trip for you and will see you Fri. night. If you need anything before then just let me know and I will do whatever you need.Love you,Reva
