'Lil Sis'

Just the other day I saw a commercial for a digitally remastered DVD of all the Shirley Temple movies...

It seems like just yesterday were were little kids, in those days my job (or so I thought) as an older brother was to make Emily's life as miserable as possible...

Emily used to love watching those silly Shirley Temple movies and then I would have to hear those silly songs being sung incessantly...

Or maybe it was her job to annoy me...

Either way, I was ok with my calling in life to fight with her constantly, but one thing that was never ok with me was if someone else decided to mess with my little sister. In fact I can remember a couple of times almost ending up in a fight because people were messing with her and that is something that I would absolutely not tolerate...

To have to deal with almost losing her at such a young age has been hard for me to put up with, to not be able to come to her defense has been unbearable...

I can't thank you all enough for your prayers! God is Sovereign and has answered so many prayers thus far! In so many ways God has proven himself so please keep praying for Emily...

Just today the pulmologist told us that she is "very lucky to be alive" he seemed to be amazed at her condition but I know that all in all God has answered prayer and has miraculously intervened.

Thank you all for those prayers!

Big brother Jeff

Can't imagine how you are feeling Jeff--helpless I am sure. I hope you are encouraged today and feel God's peace!
