Tired of these illnesses...

I am home again today with Jaxon who has a fever probably caused by a sinus infection, and Jolee once again has the congested cough. I am so tired of these illnesses, I am pretty sure that it is caused by a number of things one of which being where we live. Wichita Falls is known for its wide variety of allergies and living in base housing does not help either, where there are mold spores, harmful paints and a number of things we do not even know about. I feel as though when fall hits I can count on someone being sick at least once a month until spring. Please don't get me wrong I do pray over my children daily and Joe has prayed through this house several times. I am very thankful that my children are healthy and I thank the Lord everyday for mine and Joe's good health. But, through the last several months many of our friends and relatives and been hit hard with very serious illness cancer, IGG antibody deficiencies, bone cysts just to name a few. I have to say that we have had to be prayer warriors these past few months but it has only made us stronger and closer to the Lord. As I was reading in my devotional last night and I quote "As you look to Him, unfurl your sails and bravely face the raging storms on the sea of life. Do not exhibit your distrust by staying in the security of the calm harbor or by sleeping comfortably through your life of ease. Do not allow your life and emotions to be tossed back and forth against each other like ships idly moored at port. The Christian life is not one of listless brooding over our emotions or slowly drifting our keel of faith through shallow water. Nor is it one of dragging our anchor of hope through the settling mud of the bay, as if we were afraid of encountering a healthy breeze. Sail away! Spread your sail toward the storm and trust in Him who rules the raging seas. " Put your hope in God (Ps. 42:5) My righteous one will live by faith. (Heb.10:38)
