SHANNON, JAMI AND CORA

1/4/2008
We would appreciate your continued prayers for our family, and especially Shannon. He has some legal issues facing him that he was hoping he wouldnt have to do...but he has no choice. Pray for wisdom and direction for him as he deals with the issues he is facing. Pray also for Jami, and her relationship with the Lord, and the same for her family. They are an ungodly, mixed up family...they need the Lord! Pray also for Cora and her safety and protection. We still have not seen her. We love her and miss her so much...she is such a precious baby girl! Its in times like these that its sometimes difficult to trust the Lord...because we just can't see how things that are happening are for our good, and especially for Cora's good and well being. But we know that God is still in control, even when we can't trace hand in the situation. We can trust His heart...and know that His love is far beyond what we can ever imagine. Thanks again for your concern, prayers and all of the support. Shannon has a host of Godly people that he can draw strength from, and get advise from. I appreciate those of you who talk to him so much....thats what keeps him going...Continue to pray for him....We love you all! In Christ......Joy

Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7-And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
