Icy Roads

Icy roads kept us from getting to the vet. We'll try tomorrow. Kevin saw two people in the ditch on the way to work. I posted awhile ago about Isaac's stomach aches but maybe I wasn't clear what the doctor said. He had migraine like headaches with cramping. I thought it might be a food allergy. I took him to a homeopathic chiropractor and he adjusted his neck, hence, no headaches since and gave us a tincture for the parasites he believed to be plaguing his stomach. He said to watch for extreme cramping and then he'd have to go to the bathroom right away. While he did have quite a bit of cramping on Monday, he didn't ever go to the bathroom so anyway, yesterday we believe something happened. The doctor is pretty sure that is why he is anemic and not gaining weight when he can out eat anyone in our house. Maybe he'll even eat less because he'll actually be getting the food and keeping the calories and vitamins and such. We've been doing some hands on praying for this kid this week. It would sound funny to most people but "Please Lord let the cramping come on real strong" isn't what most people ask for their kid.

We sent out many letters this week asking for prayer for birthmother and baby and the financial aspect. We have asked that if anyone feels they can contribute they can to a bank account we set up especially for this. All money donated will go to this fund and in the event adoption doesn't happen all money will be returned as far as we are able. Donations can be made to Kevin Blazek and sent to US Bank, 502 2nd Ave. N, Wahpeton, ND 58075. Or our agency will work with us to give people a chance to make a tax-deductible donation (non-returnable if the adoption doesn't happen) by sending to God's Children Adoption Agency, 23592 Ridgewood Circle, Fergus Falls, MN 56537. If anyone sent to the agency our name could be nowhere on the check but a note included in the envelope. We have about $13,000 to raise yet out of about 23,000 total cost. Please pray for God's work to be done in the raising of this.

I received an email from a friend today that spoke to what goes on in this adoption process and life with many people to care for actually. " What does it mean to be still? Scripture tells us to “seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all these things will be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33) Go to the Lord in prayer and ask Him to quiet your soul as you plan your life. It not what the Lord can give us- it is who He is that calms our soul. Worship instead of worry is the key to a still soul ready to hear the Lord’s call. Scripture assures us of this plan in Matthew 6:34 “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” " These are words to reassure me that I am not to walk around worried and trying to make this adoption happen because I believe it should. I haven't figured out how to do that anyway:)!!!!!
