summer of prayer, week eight

Hello praying friends, I apologize for dropping off of the planet for the last two weeks. Today is my first day back in my office after a dear friend passed away.

Thank you for your prayers for Keona and me on our prayer retreat (WONDERFUL!), for little Louie (we're continuing the search for speech therapy), and for the book (it's been on pause the last few weeks).

For the rest of August, I would treasure your prayers for the following:

1. Please pray for Jayne and her two teen boys, John and Andy. Family and out of town friends will be heading home soon.

2. Please pray for dear Keona. We have had concern about her visual perception abilities and she has been taking a series of tests. On Monday we see a pediatric ophthalmologist to explore this concern further. Initial tests strongly point toward visual dyslexia.

3. The book deadline seems close to impossible at this point. I haven't had the emotional energy to write at all for the last 10 days. Please pray for strength as I begin to turn back toward the book tomorrow and also for grace with my dear publisher.

Much love,
alicia
