St. John's Group Email Prayer request from Sandy Robine

Prayer warriors needed!!!!

 

When picking up ALOT of toothbrushes and toothpaste yesterday at Dr. Brady's office (Warrenton north of town) for use in our shower kits, I met an awesome woman, Burket, that was part of his office team.  While I took the time to thank her for their generous donation for the Stand Down Dinner/Day, we got to talking about Jesus.  Well, turns out that her son, who is 9 years old, has been VERY sick with fevers as high as 103.  He had been in Cardinal Glennon but they sent him home telling them that they didn't think it was his appendix according to all the tests they ran.  They don't seem to know just what IS wrong with him and what is causing the fever.   Well, he IS home but still has a fever.  All this medical attention with medical professionals, hospitals and pain and fever is compromised and even worse emotionally on "Rich" (her son's name) because he also has autism.

 

We ended up hugging and she was crying because she is really stressed over all of this.  They actually live in Godfrey, Illinois; but she stayed working for Dr. Brady because she had worked for them for 10 years before they moved their practice to Warrenton.  Also, he understands her concerns as a mother of Rich.  I asked her if we could put her on our prayer list and she was VERY appreciative of that.  She said she sure hadn't planned on crying and telling me all about Rich when I first walked in to get the toothbrushes.  I told her that is most likely why God had "tweaked" my schedule "last Friday" so that I was unable to pick them up then.  He knew Burket would need some extra emotional attention (and prayers & witnessing) on Monday!  You would think I still wouldn't be surprised at how God USES each of us in SO many ways each and every day; but I am.  Watch (and listen) today at how God can use you!  Praise Him for leading us to those that need to hear the Good News and feel God's arms around them through "ours".

 

I just wanted to give you all a little bit of background so you would know about their situation when you pray for Rich and for his mom, Burket.

 

Thank you and God's peace on your day.
