Prayer Request

Hi everyone!!

I hope you all had a blessed Christmas! (See my post below for how Christmas was for us).

I have a prayer request...

Please join me in praying for Rob. He has been working non-stop for over a month now. I'll explain...  :

Just over a month ago, friends of ours lost their son in a tragic accident. That friend, was also Rob's workmate. They are the only people in the barn that know how to breed. (Rob works in a hog barn for those that didn't know). Now that his partner isn't there, Rob has had to be there every day, and hasn't had a day off. He completely understands that his friend needs time off, but Rob is starting to burn out. He is exhausted. He comes home after work and instead of helping me with Isaiah so that I can get something done around the house, he has to go take a nap. Nobody has really been stepping up to help until  now. Rob might actually be getting one day off this week - for Isaiah's birthday. He is going to PUSH to have it off. He deserves it. It's Isaiah's first birthday.

Please pray that Rob will be able to get at least one day off. Please pray that he will have strength to get through each day and that he won't completely burn out.

Thanks!!

Hey Kara, I totally understand that kind of exhaustion. Marvin works in a barn also and its bad enough working through Christmas nevermind by yourself for so long. Our prayers will definately be with you guys and Rob's workmate. I hope the New Year and Isaiah's birthday are awesome for you guys!
