Know that I covet your prayers as well as seek to be faithful in lifting the things I know are going on in your lives up to the Lord! The following is a list of what comes to mind as what is on my heart:
-My grandma, Darlene Ecklund, has been battling dimentia for quite some time & in the last month that I have been in the Dominican Republic she has had numerous other TIA strokes with rapid deterioration of her mental & physical health as I understand it. Please be praying for her and our family in this time.
-I'm blessed in truly having gained great family here with whom I feel that I've been able to become a part of, pray that the Lord would continue to bless those relationships in this time when we won't be having staff meetings over the holidays. Pray that when loneliness surfaces in this time of transition, that God's grace may be what transforms those moments into incredible solitude with my Savior as opposed to the pit of loneliness.
-Colossians 3, I know I've mentioned it before, is a passage of scripture I'd like to live by God's grace! Pray that as life pulls in so many directions, the only way which my heart & mind would give way is to being closer to the Lord!
