Happy Friday Eve, Family! 🦊
💙 We begin with the birth announcement we have all been waiting for!💙
From Bianca:
He’s here, he’s here! Our sweet little boy
Sebastian Chand Suri born on his due date at 11:26 pm on 3/2/21 cutting it so close to my scheduled induction the following morning at 8:30am.
Baby boy weighed 8lbs 6oz! 21 inches long.
In awe of how God answers our prayers! 🙏♥️ Thank you and the Lighthouse family for lifting us up in them.
I know I speak for the entire Lighthouse Family when I say, "WELCOME TO THE FAMILY! WE LOVE YOU ALREADY, BABY SEBASTIAN!" 🥰
This week, we praise God for:
💟 Keeping Ruth and her family, Becky, Lynn and their families through the storms in Texas and the subsequent hardships they experienced. We thank Him for His protection, especially over our precious loved ones. Answered prayers! ☂️
💟 Baby Evangeline being able to leave the NICU and go home with her family. 😌 We plead with God to watch over her twin sister, Isabel, while still in the hospital. May He touch her with His healing, that she may soon be able to reunite with Evangeline and start her journey at home. 🙏🏽
💟 The ways He's worthing in Jackie's life to remind her that He's listening. Also, for protecting her from Covid, in spite of the risk she faces at work daily. 🤲🏼
💟 Bianca shared that her doctors feel very confident that Baby Suri will not need to be induced. Let's keep praying as Bianca's due date is quickly approaching! 🤰🏻
💟 Vasthi is grateful for the great night of sleep she had and for the wonderful Bible Study we enjoyed. She invites everyone to join and to get to know our loving God better.
We are also praying for:
🛐 Steve, a coworker of Vasthi and Carole. He is experiencing medical issues and is in need of prayer and a touch from the Lord.
🛐 The family of Vasthi's coworker, Brenda, who passed away last week. Please keep the McNeil Family in prayer through the grieving process.
🛐 Evelyn Solis and her family, as they lost her cousin, Maribel, after a battle with early onset Alzheimers. Pray that the Lord would give Evelyn and the family strength and courage.
🛐 Alejandro, who was deployed this week. May God watch over and protect him and the rest of those aboard the USS EISENHOWER as they serve and protect our country. 🇺🇸
🛐 Nelly and her health. May God protect her and grant her answers to the things the drs don't understand.
🛐 John Vega, whose surgery was postponed until March. Let's keep praying for God's timing and His protection over John.
🛐 María, Jeannie, Charen, Angelina, the Cardonas and all those who were traveling.
🛐 Liz, the daughter of Nelly's neighbor, Provi. She has been released from the hospital after her battle with COVID, but is still very sick Ang weak. Also, her mom was admitted to the hospital with fluid in her lungs. It is not related to COVID, but she is seriously ill and in need of prayer.
🛐Vasthi's coworker, Maria, who is recovering from back surgery.
🛐 Anna Ortiz, who was in cancer remission, but the cancer has returned with a vengeance and is now in her bones. Please pray for her during this process. Pray for her family as well!
Tonight's Devotional was also submitted by Darcy, and this is Part 2 of 2. 🤍
Yesterday, the verses reminded us that we CAN TRUST GOD. Today they encourage us to say that WE WILL TRUST GOD!
You might ask, "What's the difference?"
The difference is that we love to say to others and to ourself that we CAN trust God. I think we all like to say that to our family and friends whenever they go through dark times.
But the question is WILL WE TRUST GOD?
Will we trust Him even when things are hard to understand?
Will we trust Him when we lose our job, house, husband because of divorce or a loved one to death?
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO TRUST HIM.
God KEEP blessing the Lighthouse family!
