Hope for Jenny

Our friend, Jenny Bazaillion, is very sick and has been in ICU for almost 14 days now and it has weighed so heavy on my heart. She came down with the flu but it turned septic and then she developed a staff infection. Her organs have shut down and now she is facing possible amputations in her feel and hands. Jenny is a 31, vivacious Christian woman with an adoring husband, David, and precious daughter, Malaya. Her dad was our minister when we were at Lake Cities and this family came to mean a lot to us. David is someone that Hunter really came to respect and taught him a lot about sharing his faith while we were there. True, we have not remained that close to them but Jenny always comments on my facebook posts and has a hug for me when we see each other.

For the last 2 weeks, she and her family have remained a constant prayer in my head and heart. I have said so many prayers for this family. I find myself thinking about them all the time from when I am cooking dinner and thinking how David prays to see her do such a simple task to hugging my children and tucking them into bed and how Malaya must long for her Mamma to be there for such things. David's posts on facebook have brought me to tears and prayers once again. I think they have chosen a perfect scripture to be their guide and cry during this time...

Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

This morning I heard one of my favorite songs on the way to work and it has been stuck in my head all day. It made me immediately think of David and Jenny's whole family...

While I'm Waiting by John Waller
I'm waiting; I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful; I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful, But patiently, I will wait
I will move ahead, bold and confident, Taking every step in obedience

While I'm waiting I will serve You
While I'm waiting I will worship
While I'm waiting I will not faint
I'll be running the race, Even while I wait

I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful, I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy, But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait, I will serve You while I'm waiting

I will worship while I'm waiting, I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting, I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

Please pray for this sweet family and Jenny’s healing. Pray that God will bring them peace and rest during this time.
