A few prayer requests...

1. Please pray for my Grandfather Stephens. He had some cataracts removed from his left eye over a year ago and he never fully regained sight in his left eye which upset him, so he was referred to a doctor in Montgomery for another type of eye surgery that could correct his vision. He had the surgery on Thursday in Montgomery and we had to go back Friday for a check up- the doctor said everything was looking fine, but it would be a full 3-5 months before he could tell if his sight was going to be back to normal. On our way home from the surgery on Thursday my grandfather told me that he hoped it worked so that he could see his great-granddaughter when she arrives. This broke my heart because I'm not sure if his sight will ever be what it was before, he is 88 years old and doing great, other than his eyes. So my prayer request for  him is that when his great- granddaughter arrives he had enough sight so that he can see her. 

2. Seth and I have to go back to work August 5th and I'm just not ready. I pray daily that God gives me the strenght I need to wake up, go to work and teach my students what they need to know and that I have enough energy to make it through the day! Also that the stress of going back to work in a new classroom setting and the stress of getting everything together for a long-term sub doesn't stress me out too much!! :) 

3. I go back to the OB on Tuesday- please pray that Janie Ann is still growing like she is supposed to and that I will receive a good report from him. I am feeling great, I'm just getting closer and closer to the due date and it makes me nervous!! 

4. Finally, please say a prayer for a friend's father. I'm not going to go into many details, but my friend's father recieved a report that his cancer has spread. He finds out Tuesday what his options currently are and they just really need our prayers right now. This friend has a lot on her plate right with starting a new job, moving and many more EXCITING things that will be coming- but right now this is taking center stage and her family just needs the prayers!! 

Coming soon.... pictures of the completed nursery... once it's complete! HA! We finally have all the furntiure in the room, now we just have to hang a few things on the walls and we will be done. Once we are done, I promise I will post pictures!!
