How about those Blueberries?...

This morning I was reading the section in the newapaper on things going on in the world. There was a write up about, a girl who was killed last thursday, a piece about the 72 miners who were rescued from the mine shaft in Saskatchewan and oh yeah ..blueberries are looking very promising this year... I just thought that was kind of funny... Today I didn't have a good a day as I wanted to, I really missed Jordan alot today, I miss hearing his voice, I miss having long talks with him, I miss doing devotions with him, watching movies with him, but most of all I think the thing I miss the most is just being able to cuddle up with him whenever I want to...but I feel alot better now, after I talked with Mom, about it, she was very encouraging, and reminded me too that there were only four weeks left and Jordan will be finished with Boot Camp, and then I will see him! It was nice to be reminded that its not going to be forever! In situations like this, where you are weaker, Satan really attacks you more. But if you resist his temptation, and take your problem before the Lord, He will make you stronger.
Jordan is half way through Bootcamp at the end of this week, he also has his midterms this week, and his PT test. I am positive that he is going to do fine in both areas. His group of people (I forgot again Mom..) they get their company colors this week! So thats pretty exciting too! But if you could just keep Jordan in your prayers, I would really appreciate that as well. I also wanted to ask if you could pray for someone who has really meant alot in my life so far. Her name is Patti Ann, and her and her husband did our marriage counselling, and they led my team in Ukraine, and they have just been really great mentors to me over the past several years, and have really impacted my spiritual walk alot. Well anyways, PattiaAnn was diagnosed with Epilepsy a few months ago. She doesnt have grand mal or petite mal seizures, but she does have neurological seizures, where she will just zone out for a few minutes. She was prescribed medication, but her body is not accepting it well, she gets alot of headaches, and is tired alot. Her immune system doesnt seem to be working as well either because it just zapps the energy right out of her. I know what its like to have epilepsy, and I know how frustrating it can get, and I also know you ask the Lord alot, why this has to happen to you..but I would just love it so much if you all would pray for her, and put her on your prayer list and prayer chains! It would mean so much to me, and I know when I told her husband on Sunday that I was going to request that ya'll pray for her, that he appreciated it so much and was really touched by the thought. Prayer, though we can't see the effects of it all the time, is one of the most powerful tools and weapons the Lord has blessed us with, and it is indeed very effective. From the bottom of my heart, thankyou so much, you will never know how much your prayers mean to me, and a prayer before the Father will not go unnoticed by Him.
