Dear
Prayer Warrior,
I
hope you sense that you are actively sharing in God’s grace through these
updates. God’s grace is probably the most experiential part of our faith, that
is why testifying about its presence is so important. Kind of like a birthday
cake that is tailored to the birthday person’s favorite tastes. He or she can
keep the whole cake for themselves, but sharing it is better and becomes part
of the celebration. You dear prayer warrior are invited again to have a piece
of our grace-cake from God. Let’s praise Him and celebrate God’s grace to us. He
promises to meet all our needs in Jesus, and what He promised for me, He has
promised for you too. I know I love hearing how Jesus meets the needs of other
saints.
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my
power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly
about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me” 2 Corinthians 12:9.
Let’s boast of my Savior. I prayed that His light would be witnessed through
these words reflecting anna’s weakness and our family’s need. Our hopes for
Anna require supernatural intervention! By God’s grace may our prayer needs
transform into a “yes” to the glory of God
You
should see the joy that God’s provisions have lavished on us, our home is
brimming with answers to prayer. We have a ramp out front, an adaptive swing
out back, new flooring for a wheelchair, fresh paint, dozens of repairs, a
grocery delivery service, God-fearing neighbors, and to my wife’s delight a
compost pile. It is a privilege to have a guest room and a balanced budget, our
new chapter is under way we pray that this house would be a place used of God
for His mission. Ever since our marriage we have lived in noisy places, now
there is much more quietness on our small street (with the exception of hearing
the bugle every morning at 6:30 from Fort Carson army base). It is a good
reminder of the spiritual battle we engage in daily too.
A
few of our needs have been activated with ease. Lindsey and I have joined a
summer Bible study with Freedom in Christ Ministries, that has been refreshing because
Lindsey feels so drawn to participate in their mission. We also registered at
the local chapters of our structured bible studies BSF and CBS. Other met needs
include, night nurse coverage for 6 nights a week, (two more nights than we
ever had in Littleton). I continue to praise God for my transfer. At the new
store, I’ve grasped joyful leadership collaborating well with peers, treating
the challenges I have with grace and creativity instead of stress and manic
effort. I am encouraged to have a brother in Christ at my new workplace.
Pray that God would help me draw out of my team their very best, a passion for
hard work, and excellence in executing the many demands. Praise and glory to
God.
We
long for God to reveal the right local church for us because we know He
produces countless blessings through His church body. May He use us and the
spiritual gifts He graces us with there for eternal, Kingdom impact.
The
busyness at home has been often too much, we ask for God to ease Renee at night
so she can sleep without waking in discomfort. Praise God her reflux is on the
decline but teething seems to be starting. Anna has had some days with excess
secretions needing suctioning in the day time which is not that common. She
seems disengaged more frequently. O to have toys, time, and activities that
would draw her to focus more. We do see Simon engage Anna with a toy at random
times, what a joy that is to see. So much going on, please keep us in your
prayers as the Spirit leads you!
Please
pray for:
-Anna’s
Medicaid case to be transferred from Jefferson county to El Paso county. This
ought to have been done a month ago, however our new case manager is missing
some documents to make the transfer final. This means all waiver services for
Anna are not happening. (Massage, music, hippo-therapy, house cleaning, as well
as any home improvements).
-wisdom
and attention to detail for Anna’s new physician. We have been so thankful for
what’s called the Special Care Clinic at Children’s Hospital they have a team
of primary care physicians with extensive experience in serving special needs
kids. This clinic is only available in Aurora so for sick kid visits it’s just
too far. The new children’s hospital in Colorado Springs does not offer primary
care physicians. Our new doctor has limited experience with special needs
cases, anna’s pt, ot, and speech therapies are on hold because of needed
signatures from her. Pray that this will happen ASAP.
-our
ability to fill the gaps that this move has created in Anna’s care. Anna is
without about 5 weekly therapies. We have struggled to dedicate just 30 minutes
a day to stretching her. She hasn’t been in her walker hardly at all since she
has been here. Our priorities have been so many with the new house, Simon, and
new baby Renee. We count on God to bestow prioritizing and helpers. now that we
moved away, we have limited help that we were used to having with friends and
family.
-a
new stander. 6 months ago we had a prescription for it, a letter of medical
necessity from our pt for it, we selected the one that was best for Anna, and
sent all that to the medical equipment people and waited. after 5 months
(because it usually takes that long) i checked back and they said they were
waiting on a prescription. If only we had known. So now the old prescription is
expired and we need a new one, our doctor cannot just write another one she has
to see Anna again and she has a 6 week wait to be seen.
-a
community to be built around Anna. This has been the overarching desire we have
had since we grasped the extent of Anna’s medical needs years ago. We know we
need to keep bringing people to her. Friends, caregivers, and prayer warriors.
Pray for a strong bond with a church body here eager to know her, we pray that the
new nurses in Colorado Springs would know the sweet anna nuances. we hope to continue
relationships with the nurses and friends Anna had in Littleton, but moving
away brings a negative impact for sure. Pray for kids her age to want to know
her and not just be momentarily curious.
-
Lindsey and I to transfer companies for our caretaking for Anna. Finding
a company to activate our CNA skills for Anna is easy, but we want to right one
and there are several factors to consider.
-full
miraculous healing so Anna can walk, see, and share in her own words how her
Healer reigns over all her suffering turning hardships into worship and awe of Him.
From
our point of view, your intercessions for us lavishes another layer of grace
that must be bragged about to the fame of Christ.
With
love,
The
Currats
