On the mend

 

(she seems to be being a bit goofy here--but here she is)
Katrina seems to be doing fine.  Her right thumb got in the van door; she closed it on herself, somehow, and it just decapitated it, somehow.  The piece that came off wasn't big enough to sew back on, but it should grow back somewhat.  They put a piece of cellulose (plant fiber) material that helps it to scab/grow over on it, since it was a big open hole, and it will somewhat absorb into the skin, from what I understand.  It was one of those cases where you really don't know what to do--we did go to the Dr office first, and they didn't want to treat it; if it would get infected later on, or made it hard for her to write, we would have felt bad if we hadn't taken her in.
     So that is a praise--except for the bill that I know will soon arrive--but please continue to pray for us as a family. I have felt very overwhelmed this week, even before this happened. It seems that Satan is trying to discourage us.  I have felt closer to depression this week than I ever remember in my life.  Finances, relationships, school, work, church, . . .yeah, it just all has been very heavy.  So please pray for us extra hard right now.  I am trying to keep my focus on God and His plan, and reminding myself why we are here.
     Not that there haven't been bright spots in my week.  I forgot that I wanted to mention that I thank God for a really nice time with the Fox family ladies.  Their son has been attending Bible study.  Their store burned several weeks ago, and Tanya and I got to spend the day yesterday bagging up bulk foods for the new store which will be opening soon.  I really enjoyed the time with them, and hope to go again one day next week.  I told them it was like "playing store"--bagging up and pricing all those foods : )  Anyhow, that was the bright spot in my otherwise depressing and trying week.
That, and time spent tying up loose ends with Jessica's wedding.  Only 3 weeks away!!!! : )
We'll see many of ya'll soon!

Tamara about had to cry when she saw the picture and read what happened. I think she'll be sending Katrina a letter later today....if we don't forget!  Hope it keeps healing nicely!

Oh poor Katrina......Hope it heals fast.

Dorcas,  my heart goes out to you.  I know that heavy depressed feeling.  Ya just have to take one day at a time right now.  Find the small things to be thankful for, and take the time to ENJOY your family.  They will soon be grown/gone.  The other things can wait.  They can not.  I love ya, and I will be praying for you.

You're in our prayers, Sis. Both for Katrina and for the struggles. Keep in mind that Satan only attacks us when he is afraid we will do some good! So God must have bigger and better plans--hang in there!  Love ya--Your Sis.

@gabesamy - thanks for the reminder to enjoy my family, Amy!  Ironically, I was hoping to do just that yesterday--grrr. We had planned to go to the park when we got done at the church--just to spend some time with my children and enjoy the wonderful spring weather. Novalee and her children had decided to join us.  As it was, she came to the hospital after she graciously finished mopping the church, and took my other children to the park.  (For which I was very grateful) so I'll have to try again on my wonderful "good mother" plans!

Thanks, everyone, for the prayers.  I do find just the right encouragement in the Word every day; I just have to keep going back to the Lord all day long.
