Please pray

Remember all the Berenstein Bear books....Berenstein bears and too much tv, to much birthday, too much junk food, etc? Well, today might have been "Valera and Too Much".  As he is acting out, going to bed angry, sleeping on the couch, etc...my initial instinct, my human nature is to react with the attitude of "isn't he appreciative of all we did today?" 

But as my dad and I reflected.....maybe it was too much. As hard as all of this is on me and my dad, I am especially mindful tonight of how hard this all must be on Valera.

I don't want to give all the details of what set him off, but please pray for him. Please pray for me, that I would have a spirit of self control and love. 

My eye really hurts. Anya's mom is a doctor and suggested certain eye drops. I started them last night. Please pray that the drops work. As you can relate, everything is harder to deal with when you don't feel your best.

Please please pray for an extra measure of strength and courage for me.

  4. WE are praying for Valera, and Lisa I know that you are so insightful to your childrens feelings and will be patient with your new son . And when you feel you dont have enough - "For this_______, you have Jesus"
    Valera must be feeling some loss of life the way he knows it, I am sure he feels excitement and fear. But he is getting the best mom and Dad and sisters EVER !
