Prayer Request

I am requesting prayers for fellow blogger and friend, Carey. We know Carey and her husband Brandy from when we lived in NW Iowa. They have quite the family story as they have 3 biological children (2 girls, 1 boy), a son that they adopted from China about 2 years ago and 3 children (2 girls, 1 boy) that they adopted and brought home from Ethiopia just over 6 weeks ago. You can follow their story here: http://journeytojaden.blogspot.com/

On Thursday evening Carey was walking through their home and stepped on a toy (how many times have we all done that?) However she feel and broke her ankle in two places and tore the ligament in her ankle. She had surgery on Friday and had pins, a plate and screws put in. She is on bed rest for a week and then limited activity for another week with no weight to be put on the foot for 6-8 weeks.

I can't even imagine what she is going through right now. Being laid up with two children would be one thing, but being laid up with 7 (all 10 & under) children with 3 that they just brought home is a whole other ballgame.

As you read this please lift the family up in prayer. They have a wonderful church family and support system, but they still need our prayers. Carey has listed some specific prayer requests on their blog.

Please check out their blog for the full story of their family. It is an incredible story of faith and trust in our heavenly Father. I know that He will carry them through this time as well.

Thank you for your prayers!
