First Post


Welcome to the Craig Blog
.
.
Jon, Teresa,
Joshua, Zachary,
Alexandra, and Sam
.
.
As many of you are aware, Jon has been ill since April 5, 2007. He was admitted to the Sturgeon General Hospital on April 26, 2007.
.
Jon's symptoms have included nausea, vomiting and dizziness this entire time. The battery of tests that he has had so far have produced no answers. This blog has been set-up to keep you updated on how you can be praying for the family.
.
Jon will have a PICC line inserted into a central vein on May 3 at 0900. This will allow for TPN which will provide all of Jon's nutritional needs.
.
Pray for guidance for the Doctors, that Jon would have relief of his symptoms, and for rest and strength for Teresa.
.
James 5:15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up.

Hi Teresa,

I just want to let you know that we think of you guys constantly and continue to lift you all up in prayer. Teresa, you have been a pillar of strength for your family which is what Jon and the kids really need right now. May the Lord bless all of your effort in all of the roles that you are filling right now and may He hold you in the palm of His hand and give you the strength that you need to carry on - even in the moments when you may feel that you have nothing left to give on your own.

This blog is a great idea as it can keep everyone updated without "harassing" you with phone calls.

Thinking of you always,
Catharine

Hi Teresa,
I continue to lift you up to God in prayer asking Him to surround you with His sustaining Grace, strength and peace. I pray God will give the Dr.'s wisdom and skill for an accurate diagnosis and that the nurses will be patient caregivers. I pray that your children will feel secure in God's care and be protected from fear and doubt. I pray that Jon will have the rest and strength his body needs and that he will be undergirded in his faith by the power of Jesus Christ our Lord.

a sister in Christ,
Karen N.

Hi Craig family: A couple of verses I hope will encourage you today.

Psalm 105:4 - Look to the Lord and His Strength. Seek His face always."
Phil. 4:19 - "And my God shall supply all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."

Sincerely,

Pastor Tom.
