Hey guys, can you do something for me? Can you pray for Jon this week?
Since coming to Mozambique, Jon has developed eczema on his hands. When we were home on furlough it cleared up, but upon our return it is back, spreading, and worsening. Last night he had a hard time sleeping from the outbreak on his hands. It flares up, calms, and round and round.
Awhile back Jon saw a dermatologist here and got a steroid cream, however, those aren’t good to use for extended or frequent periods of time. We’ve read lots of information, tried a few creams, and observed dietary things. Our rockstar moms have mailed some ointments/lotions. We are still waiting on a few and will try them when they arrive. It sounds like you just have to find what works for you. Well, could you be praying we find what works for Jon? Better still, that he would healed.
Thanks so much for your love and support. Jon and I sat in our living room this morning talking about you, how we miss you and feel a little disconnected from you, our supporters. I’m not sure if you all are feeling the same way. Let us know if there is anything you’d like to hear about or see through photos and we’ll see what we can hook you up with.
A video house tour is coming soon. I can’t believe we never let you tour our new house through video, and now we’ve been here more than a year! (Honestly, I hadn’t finished my curtains and was embarrassed, but they are done now and have been for awhile.)
Love from Mozambique!
2 of the sweetest girls on earth!
My growing girls!
Always covered Buck! Diligentley praying for Jon’s eczema now and will be waiting to hear a good report to the glory of our God! Love ya’ll!
Praying for Jon and healing! The pictures of the girls are so precious! What treasures! I know you are enjoying them. Looking forward to seeing the video of your house!
Take care,
Love, Nancy and Norman Shaheen
Lord, these are Your hands. They were “created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand” for Jon to do. Your hands, Lord. We ask You to take care of them. We ask You to heal them and make them fully capable of the works You have prepared for them. We ask You to make Your hands conduits of Your grace, mercy, and power. Thank you, Lord, that they are not just plain human hands, but anointed ones.
Praying for you guys! Epic excited to come see the place in October.
I will be praying for Jon this week. One of my favorite things about my job is I sit all day and sew. I find myself praying for various people for HOURS. My son had some bad Eczema as a child. He would say it felt like the inside of his skin was itchy. I often had him soak in an oatmeal bath, it really helps during a flare up. Winter was the only time he found peace.
The pictures of the girls are wonderful – keeps me feeling very connected to all of you. Sorry to hear about Jon’s hands. Praying for complete healing for you Jon. Our God is able. We have our house for sale – again – want to move back to the hills of Tennessee. Please pray that it will not take too long to bring that one buyer here – the one the Lord wants us to sell to because they just love this place. Blessings and joy – in Jesus name!!!
Praying for you all – along with the many names of patients that you share -your family continues to be much in my thoughts and prayers – praying especially for Jon and his hands this morning –
much love and care –
