Jesus is Here

Recently our Family went to Colorado and stayed a few days in the mountains. We had a great time. Everyday we were able to play in the snow. It snowed a few hours everyday and it was beautiful. Two days before we were playing to leave we saw it was supposed to snow several feet over the next couple of days. So we wouldn't be stuck, we decided to leave early the next morning. We woke to 2 feet of snow and it was still falling. Our car was covered!!!


Being Oklahomans we don't understand "don't drive in deep snow". We loaded the car and tried to head out. We made it a few feet and couldn't move. We were stuck physically and mentally. We didn't know what to do. Here is how the conversation went in the car.

Nicole- What are we going to do now?

Tim- Um, let me get out and see what I can do.

Nathan- Mom, lets pray! Jesus please help us, Jesus please help us, Jesus please help us.

And what do you know; Jesus showed up driving a road plow.

Nathan exclaimed - Jesus is here!!!

Pregnant with NO baby

The meds that I am on now are working wonderful. I am starting to feel a lot better. The down side to the meds is the side effects are like I am pregnant. I will gain weight, get more zits, and be really moody! If you see me and I am 15lbs more, a face full of zits, smiling and crying at the same time know that it will pass in a month. Praise God that I am not going to the bathroom 20 times a day=)

Nathan has FAITH

It was around 11:30pm Tim and I where talking in bed. I was talking to him about how much pain I was in. We didn't know it but Nathan had walked in the room and this is what he said:

Nathan: Mom whats wrong?
Me: Um,(thinking to myself how to tell a 3 year old I have a colon problem) mommy's poop hurts!
Nathan: Lets pray for it!
Me: Ok.
Nathan: Jesus please help mommy's poop not hurt, please help her to take her medicine, Amen.

The next morning Nathan ran up to me and said "you are all better right" Nathan has so much faith!!!!

Update on Colonoscopy

I want to start out by thanking you all for praying for me and sending your sweet words. For those of you who don't know, I have a disease called Ulcerative Colitis (UC). I have had it for 8 years. The past few months the UC has gotten bad. We decided to have a Colonoscopy done on Christmas Eve. We found out that my large intestine is inflamed, irritated, and very sensitive. My large intestine is out of control. The Dr. decided to put me on some medicine for a month that will try to get the disease under control so we can manage it. The down side to the medicine is that it weakens my immune system and there are several side effects that would put a normal person in the hospital. I also can't get pregnant while taking this medicine. The small intestine hasn't been affected and the Dr. took several biopsy's from my colon to test them. We should get some results soon from the biopsy. Please continue to pray for me and my sweet family.

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is a word I do not like to say. If you don't know I have been very sick the past few months and I am not getting better. As of right now I am doing the prep work for my colonoscopy tomorrow morning. They do not know what is wrong with me but we are praying they will know soon! If you think about it please pray for me and my family tomorrow morning. Thanks sweet friends=)
