Dad is going in for cataract removal in the AM. Prayers appreciated for him but more for mom. She will have her hands full. He isn't a good patient.

Also just found out my brother needs full hip replacement and he is only 52. Always gave him a hard time about being an old man, but didn't think he would fall apart so soon. Not scheduled yet, but he is stressing already.

Will keep your family in our prayers Shawn.

I'm sending the prayer and good vibes. Both of these procedures have become "routine" in recent years, so I'm hoping that everything will be super-smooth and very successful.

Joint issues at a young age certainly do stink . . . but your brother has a chance to feel better than he has in years. As tough as rehab can be, it can be a lot better than the pain he's feeling now. Hope it goes well!

1st, I might not post here much but I do keep all of you in my prayers.

Now for some good news. I got a nice promotion at work on Friday. It is a big step up to supervision. Still hourly though so I still get the OT. And our new house is finished and we have started moving in. Still need to finish some repairs on the old house then decide if we want to rent it out and hang on to it for a few years or sell it now. I am thinking hang on to it until the market gets better. We can rent it out for more than the house payment, taxes and insurance.

Kevin.

What Norm and Randall said. As long as it isn't costing you holding on until the market improves seems like a wise move.

Gentlemen-
I've been wanting to tell you guys about this for a while, but was hoping to get deeper in to the process before doing so. But the situation now calls for me to call on you to pray for my family. Here's what's going on.

My family is in the process of adopting an orphan girl from Ukraine. I'll spare you the details, but after much discussion, prayer, counsel, and spending time with the girl, we are certain that God has brought her to our family. We believe God has called us to adopt her. We love her and are very confident that once we make our intentions known, she will be overjoyed and jump at the chance to have us as a family. This is all great news and should be celebrated.

But there is bad news. There is another family that insists that they should get her because they submitted the paperwork first. Although she has spent time with this family, the girl has had no connection with them. Her host family and all involved are acting as strong advocates of her being placed with us. None of this has deterred the other family. To make matters more complicated, we consider this other family to be friends of ours. They, us and the host family all are members of the same church. Our pastors have been involved for the past few days and will be counseling the other family. They've been counseling us for a while.

You may be wondering what I'm worried about. We want her, she will want us, and Ukraine's policy is that the child makes the decision (she's 14). My fear is that something could go wrong as long as this threat exists. Please pray. Specifically, that God's will would be done, that we would honor Him with our responses, and ultimately, that the girl would be ours someday soon. Sorry if this got too religious for the DIS. If I get booted I'll see you in January and on the other site.

Thanks.

Chris, prayers for all involved. No worries about getting booted for requesting prayer on the Praise and Prayer thread.
