Nikki has really been struggling with pain in her joints this week as well as muscle cramps and she battles to sleep as a result. The doctor has given her a different (stronger) sleeping tablet in order to help her but not even that is helping.
We continue to thank God for the awesome work He has done and is doing in her body and we understand that the enemy will come to try and attack from every angle and devour our faith when we are standing strong and celebrating a victory.
1 Peter 5:8:
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
We ask that you would continue to pray for a victory in the area of Nikki's joints / arthritis.
Our precious dad is facing surgery for his "frozen shoulder" in the coming week - also as a result of arthritis in the shoulder joint. Please could you keep him in your prayers - the op is scheduled for Tuesday.
This scripture has again been very real to me this week, since I have had one or two obstacles to face myself in the week gone by. I am glad the week is over now - I'm so ready for the weekend (especially since our special friend Robyn arrives from the UK on Sunday to visit for a week - yay)!!
1Peter 4:12
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
