Arrrrrgh!

I posted this at Walk the Trail, but I wanted to really ask you to pray for us. I feel like Satan is really attacking us through sickness right now. Preparing our house for moving is tough enough on the kids. They are wrestling with moving away from their friends, the only school they have ever gone to, and the church they have been a part of for the past seven years, so being sick just seems to compound things. LaRissa and I also are just exhausted because we don't get much sleep when the kids are sick. Please be in intense prayer for us. Pray for God to deliver us from Satan's attacks and to restore us all to health.

I am feeling a bit like Charlie Brown right now.

My wife informs me that someone has been sick at our house since September. There are six of us, and when one of us gets something, it just seems to make its rounds. I can't remember all of the sickness, but I do know that I came down with some sort of respiratory infection the week before Christmas, and I am pretty sure it turned into pneumonia. I broke a rib from coughing so hard. Not fun.

My oldest daughter, Grace, had pneumonia, and it took about three weeks for her to recover from that. Now, my middle daughter, Katie, has had a cough for about three weeks. This weekend, my son, James, ran fever and complained of a sore throat; and yesterday, the baby, Abby, started running a fever.

On top of all that, we are trying to get our house ready to put on the market. So, we are pretty exhausted right now. Be in prayer for the Kemp family.
