prayer and snowglobes

do you ever feel like a snowglobe? you feel calm...peaceful, just sitting boyant in your little world, then someone shakes it all up and everything around you feels disorienting? this is my life the past year...but really january on. not to go into too much detail because again i'm tired from being up with emily at 4am...i just want to ask for your prayer:

1) my dear friend dana had surgery today to remove potentially a cancerous mass from her thyroid. she has two kiddos (3 and 6) and are dear friends of ours. please pray that her tumor is not cancerous and if it is, that it was totally removed.

2) other dear friends of ours, andy collins-his 6 year old daughter, presli is having brain surgery tomorrow to remove or scrape (i' m not sure the exact terms) a spot on her brain that is causing numbness to spread over her body.

3) for our home to be well again-free from fever, bronchitis, ear infections...

and lastly that as we move into this busy season of school, juggling jobs, ministry, parenthood and marriage, we don't loose sight of our true identity-our true home-daughters and sons of God. if i am ever convinced of His presence, it's now-that in the midst of my snowglobe calm, or storm, he is the calm-consistent-never changing (praise Him for that!) presence in my life that is my rock, fortress-i will not be shaken.

thanks for reading. do you ever feel like your life is a snowglobe? find comfort-you are not alone.
