Infection

From Michelle. 17 July, 2010 11 a.m.

Dear friends and family,

Please pray for Steve. He is unwell. The doctors think he has a urinary tract infection. He has been shivering violently under the blankets, and is now calm but covered with a thick layer, and cold. Steve will begin a cycle of antibiotics this morning.

He will rest today and tomorrow. We are hoping he will be better in time for therapy on Monday.

Thanks so much,
Michelle

    a mighty fortress is our God…a bulwark never failing; Our helper He, amid the flood, Of mortal ills prevailing; For still our ancient foe, Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing. Were not the right Man on our side, The man of God's own choosing; Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus it is He; Lord Sabaoth His name, From age to age the same, And HE must win the battle. Steve, praying that you would be sheltered in God's mighty fortress.

    Praying that this infection will be zapped quickly and that Steve will not loose ground in his recovery. I know that these “glitches” are most discouraging, and I pray for encouragement for all of you today. Our love and prayers are with you day by day.

    In the course of the day, while typing a news release, eating meals at fast foods, sitting at press conferences, brushing my teeth, in a bus commuting to work, always thinking, worrying about what's happening in Seattle–short pleading prayers are constantly offered for Steve's wellbeing all day long. Today, Sunday, at UCM, extensive, community prayers are said in synchrony for our dear Pastor Steve. Everyone around me at Newcomers loves you and misses you.

    getting ready to go to the 10.30 service at ucm. will pray in particular for this infection. pls give pastor steve cranberry juice which inhibits the bacteria from moving further up his urinary tract towards his bladder. also work yogurt and acidophilus into his diet to counteract the depletion of intestinal flora (the good bacteria) which is caused by frequent ingestion of antibiotics.
    may god bless you, michelle, as you oversee the care of your husband and children.

    Hi Michelle – you can be sure that the whole of Union Church will be praying for this starting about now! The promises of “the prayer of a righteous man available much” and “when two or two thousand of my people on earth agree on anything, it shall be done” will be honored by God. Infection be banished!

    Oh no. I remember Cory Aquino, our late president, say “One brick on, two bricks off, one step forward, two steps backwards!” But eventually it will be steps forward all the way. Our heavenly Father is watching closely and he knows best.
    God love and bless you both.

    They sent up a powerful prayer today at UPC for Steve and I know that the spirit is burning inside him. I will pray for cooling relief to sooth his feverish body and for the spirit to continue to work its miracles not only in his life and your family's but in mine and others as you continue allow us to journey alongside you in this physical and spiritual journey.
