Power of prayer

Hello long lost friends, it has been a while since we have wrote on the blog but with summer underway we have been so busy enjoying our time with our families and friends. Lots of fun activities have taken place this summer so far and we plan on getting you updated one day soon. But first we need a favor!
Both my children attended our church daycare. I have grown to love a lot of the kids in both the boys classes as my own, I get to see them everyday, hear my oldest talking about his buddies in his class and jumps up and down with excitement if we have one over for a play date, see them at birthday parties or out running around on Saturdays. It’s funny how you grow to love these children and I will be very sad when it is “big school” time and they all go their separate ways.
Right now I’m asking for MAJOR prayers for Miller's little friend, (let’s call her by her initials shall we?) NR. NR has been monitored by her Dr. at our local children’s hospital for lumps that have grown on both sides on her neck. This went this week for a follow ultrasound and they have grown in size they wanted them to stay 1cm and hers are now 2.3cm. They will be going in on Monday to remove a few of the lumps and will test them.
NR and her family need our prayers. As humans we question why God would allow something like this to happen to our small children, but us as Christians we place our faith and trust in God that his plan is perfect, and he already proclaimed victory over this.
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.- Isaiah 41:10
Pray that God works through the hands of the doctors and nurses that will be caring for NR, pray that her and her family will feel peace of no understanding, pray that the results from the surgery do not indicate further health concerns. I ask that you keep this family in your prayers over the weekend but also if you could smother them on Monday morning. I will keep everyone posted as soon as I can.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. - John 14:27
Ok, can I ask for one more favor? I know I know we have been disconnected from the blog world and I come with two favors but my heart is so heavy and I need help praying.
My friend Amanda’s niece C is back in the hospital. C was put in the hospital a while back with her protein levels being very low, she started swelling up all over. They placed her on meds to see if they would help, the medicine didn’t seem to help much and now she is swollen all over again very badly. Her levels have gotten lower since she has been in the hospital. The team is working hard to run more test and figure out what is going on with this sweet little body of hers. Will you please say an extra prayer for baby C tonight?
My heart has been so broken the past few days and I just feel like I have been screaming out to God for his healing. I may not see God's plan right now but I feel his peace over me that he has his hand on both these sweet girls and their families.

Thanks! Love you all!
