Holding their hands up as Joshua takes Land

A Prayer for Today: Join us in praying for Bri and Johnny and covering then in prayer. Joshua fought the battle while Moses prayed and Aaron and Hur held up his hands and when Moses hands were up (the intercession of the saints) Joshua won and when they were down the enemy trumped. Let's hold the Wachsmanns hands up and intercede as Joshua grows and let's win this war :).

The Amalekites Defeated
8 The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. 9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.”

10 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. 12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.

14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven.”

15 Moses built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner. 16 He said, “Because hands were lifted up against[c] the throne of the Lord,[d] the Lord will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation.”

LORD JESUS WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GIVE VICTORY. THAT JOSHUA WOULD ARRIVE AT FULL TERM FULLY ALIVE AND WELL TO LIVE A LONG LIFE TESTIFYING TO YOUR GLORY AND GREATNESS. LORD CALM THE BATTLES THAT RAGE, SEND YOUR PEACE AND LEAD BRI AND JOHNNY ON A PATH OF PEACE. MAY THEY FOLLOW PEACE. MAY TODAY BE A DAY OF CONFIRMATION OF YOUR GOODNESS IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING. MAY THERE BE NO INFECTION ENTER BRI'S BODY MAY THERE ONLY BE AN INCREASE IN FLUIDS AND A GOOD REPORT OF YOUR HAND, YOUR RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND PERFORMING MIRACLES. YOU ALONE ARE GOOD LORD AND WE PRAISE YOU FOR THIS TESTIMONY OF YOUR GREATNESS AND GLORY. IN JESUS NAME, AMEN

Faith of Child and a Song to Stir our Prayers

Yesterday Bear (first grade) came home and said "I picked a bracelet that says faith from the treasure chest at school bc it has God's word on it"

I said that I really liked it and loved his heart. I then asked him what is something he is having faith about. He said "that baby Joshua would get here when he's supposed to and not before!"

Oh my handsome love!

Lots of info to share. Still doing great in my sideways, waterlogged world. Just some updates with plans. 
Had a check up this morning and baby is doing good. Strong heart beat. Also got the first round of my weekly progesterone shots.


Yesterday I had a panic attack when the dr. from Austin called. She's the dr that did the cerclage.
I originally had an appt scheduled for yesterday with her in Austin but since I got put on bed rest I was figuring my dr had touched base with her to let her know everything. Thaaaat was not the case. The Austin office closes early on Fridays AND she was out of the office all last week SOOO nobody could contact her.
Anyhow I let her know what had happened and she went into overdrive wanting me to come up there ASAP and to have a US done to check cervix/cerclage and to see if the cerclage needs to come out to prevent infection etc...and I panicked!

WAITAMINUTE!!!!

A) I am on bed rest... Austin is a LONG drive!

B ) NOBODY is to be messing around with the netherland region as a precaution to prevent bacteria and infection.

C ) we have to leave the cerclage in so he doesn't FALL OUT!!!!

So I told her I had to talk to and pray with my husband and she gave me her cell no and said to call her as soon as I was able.

I talked to J when he got home (thankfully our precious neighbor took all the boys to the park so we had a little quiet time to process it all!!)

After some good time in prayer, quite a few tears from me and some good ol' Graham Cooke telling me that God calls us to do the impossible... We feel like God is going to show up (He already has) and carry us through even IF they feel better about the cerclage being out!

So I went to see my OB here today and she said she's great with me going to see dr in Austin and it would be good to be checked out by her seeing she is a high risk specialist.

So now I am waiting to hear back from her about being seen this week or next.
