Jeffrey,
Remember George Muller and Rees Howells! "God will supply all your need according to HIS RICHES in glory in Christ Jesus". "Take not thought of you life, what you will eat or what you will wear" but rather "seek first the kingdom and His righteoussness, and all these things shall be added unto you". "All things work together for good" brother, that is definately a promise - but you must remain faithful and love God as Job loved God - "though He slay me yet will I bless Him". God bless you brother and keep praying; God will bestow upon you in duration and relation to how much you seek Him. Seek hard after Him and long after him - delight yourself in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of you heart.
-Evan

My wife has very severe morning sickness (there's some medical term for it, I don't know) - except it's all day! Please pray for her, as it is becoming very discouraging for her and she feels naseous and weak all the time. It's a struggle for her to not lose her appetite even when she knows she needs to eat for the baby's sake. LauRen works in the executive office of a ministry and it's been causing some stress for her. The Lord has called me to full-time ministry, please pray with me that full time financial support comes in. Thanks! Hyperemesis gravadas. I'm a nurse. Make sure she sees the doctor regularly and that she's getting enough nutrition for her and the baby. Praying.

Jeff, God bless you guys. This reminds me so much of my beginnigs of motherhood. My sences were so alert and keen. I needed alot of rest and food. Food and rest. It was total abandenment for me cause I was so used to being on the go. 5 out of 7 births were in Mexico, on the mission field. No job (income) just preaching the gospel. Lots of traveling..... Sometimes as early as two weeks before delivery date we would find a home. Then we had to find a Dr. to minister to and ask for his assistance. We never knew where our next meal was coming from or gas for the truck or where I was going to get baby clothes. We were mobil missionaries for 13 yrs in Mexico. We carried only our back packs and since we were a growing family we got a truck donated. The Lord was faithful, always. One time we got an inheritance. But usually it was help coming unexpectatly on a daily basis. God can do anything but fail.!! One thing that I can remember that helped alot was during my time we lived with another family and teamed up. We shared and helped each other as our own. Jobs around the home were rotated to those that could. Out reach was done by those that could go out. Those staying by the stuff, (kids and moms) would do the cooking and laundry and kids homeschool. I know this sounds so communal and it was. We had to to survive on the mission field. But it worked. Acts 2:44,45. (and all that beleived were together, and sold their possions and goods and parted them to every man that had need." The common pot was a financial relief. We prayed together, studied together, worked together. Where ever there was a need, it was filled right there in our little home. We didn't have relitives around to work with on the mission field. It was our little band of believers that stuck together. Moms were always top priority. ALways! Next was the kiddos needs. It was a sacrificial life but it worked. It really worked. It's scriptual too. Trust and Obey, Gods in the baby making business. Well you know what I mean, HE Knows!!!! As far as the medical part, I wouldn't advise you. YOu have to go according to your faith. I never had medical insurance. I have RH negative blood so I was suppose to have these special shots after the delivery of the baby each time. Cause if I didn't, it would affect the next baby. But according to my faith I didn't take the shot. I had 7 perfect babies. But I would never advise you how to operate your faith. It has to be according to your faith be it done unto you. My faith could put you in the hospital. Or someone elses faith could put me in the hospital. HA. I had 7 completely natuaral childbirths. One of them was a home birth . (an 11 pounder!) Praise God. Please keep us posted, we realy are in prayer for you. We love you so much and need you. I just hope you have loved ones around to help you and your wife. It's time like this that teamwork works. Women can especially be a blessing to women while the husband is out ministering! I was blessed with other likeminded women that was there for me and sometimes it was children that catered to me while I was so weak. It's extremely humbling but needed in my case. Twice I had 2 first trimesters. That means I was preganate for 3 months then had a miscarrage then got pregnate right away again. (pregnate for 12 months!) Twice it happen, that was a trip. Like Paula (geekforgod) resist anxiouty and fears. Speak faith, speak more faith. I've been through two bouts of whooping cough. It was so intense, but we learned to speak faith, out loud, morning, noon, and night! IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL! Love ya, Therese (Austin) ps sorry about the speling)
