Joshua's Journey: the view of the city is great

As I sit in Joshua's room with just he and I, the quietness began to get to me. I like noise and going. Two things that are both on halt at the moment. Out our window we can see the entire downtown, and I begin to think, how do we win this city for Christ?!? That's lots of people. Then God showed me a way. It wasn't through going to church, though that is great and much needed. It was through LOVE. Loving people where they are, in whatever situation that may be. God placed a woman on my heart yesterday that I overheard talking in the elevator. I then saw her again 20 minutes later and once again this morning. I asked her a bit about her story and learned that she has a 6 year old son, named Joelann, that is 31 lbs.  I really feel that if for nothing else, Joshua was sick enough to come down here so that I could come in contact with her. Please pray for her, pray for me that God will use me to show her the hope she has. God is giving me opportunities with my NICU/PICU and whoever else He wants, ministry. I pray for y'all. Find that one person that God lays on your heart and be the hands and feet of Jesus to them! I am praying for boldness and for the Holy Spirit to be our guide. I think God has great things in store.

Joshua is doing great. He will do a swallow study to make sure he isn't aspirating while he eats and then if all is well with that, we are out the door. Thank you for your prayers. Each of you are truly a blessing to me. Those near and far, ones I know and don't. Thank you!!!
