Glorious Bridal Shower for Hannah

On Saturday, we had a Bridal Shower for our Hannah (Wedding is Jan. 5th, 2008). There were 26 ladies there to celebrate Hannah getting married. We had a very special time with ladies that have been and are a big part of Hannah's life. It was glorious! And the weather outside made it even cozier inside. It had been snowing and more fell that night (about 8"). So it was special.
Since last I talked with you all, I had been sleeping pretty well. On Sunday though I started having waves of anxiety over me. I couldn't figure out if it was anxiety that was triggering shortness of breath or shortness of breath causing the anxiety. It persisted into Monday, so we called Dr. Detar back about this anxiety. And he said that my CO2 level maybe elevated due to inefficient air exchange. So I did blood work and it showed normal. But in the discussion, I discovered that one of the nausea medicines that I had been taking was good for anxiety as well. Once I starting taking it again, my anxiety went away. Praise God! My sleep in the past couple of nights has been somewhat normal. I am also taking a High Calorie, High Protein shake mix usually three times a day and that is going well. Keep praying for weight gain and resting in the Lord for needs of my family. I need to learn to not fight the shortness of breath but relax my way through this and keep my thoughts centered on Him.
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Chrst Jesus" Philippians 4:6-7

What a fun time! We hear it is a winter wonderland up there. We can’t wait to play in the snow during our Christmas visit to Billings.

We will continue to pray for weight gain and discernment each step of the way. Praise God for every victory! ...especially concerning your breathing and anxiety.

Our thoughts and prayers for all of you is that there will be a balance of joy and peace for the holiday and the upcoming wedding. Nathan and Michelle are also in our prayers.

God Bless,

Christian and family
