Prayer Request

If you're reading this, I ask that you please take a few minutes to pray for my friends, Joel & Valarie Sewell and their new baby girl, Rhema Evangeline. This little treasure was born on Friday, November 3, and after some tests, the doctors discovered she was born with an extra chromosome. Her condition is worse than Down's Syndrome, and the doctors have told Joel & Val that she won't make it past her first birthday.

The first news I heard was actually a bit different than what I heard first-hand from Joel a few hours later, so it seems things are just very up and down, and Rhema's condition is not always the most stable.

Please pray for this family. Joel and Val are as well as can be expected. They have many questions to which they know they may never get answers, but they know that our heavenly Father is not surprised by this. They know He is sovereign and in control. Nothing can touch us unless He allows it. He himself formed Rhema and loves her more than Joel and Valarie could ever love her.
