Please visit Joanne’s blog today to learn about ways that you can Help the Heims . I’m excited that there are now tangible ways to help her sweet family. Please be in prayer for decreased swelling, pressure and complete healing as they decrease the medication and wake Joanne up. We are all desperate for Joanne to wake up.

without ceasing continues for Joanne…
UPDATE: Toben as asked via Twitter that we specifically pray that the swelling decrease. Joanne’s brain needs to stop swelling, decrease in swelling and pressure. SO… the Lord has impressed upon several of Joanne’s friends to take tomorrow (and today if you wish) to corporately fast and pray on her behalf. The fast will end after corporate prayer time tomorrow night, or whenever the Lord leads you to end your fast for Joanne. If you are joining us.. please leave a comment below. (We’d love it) Also, there is some great information on how to fast safely from IHOP here: Fasting & Praying for Joanne
Morning friends. I am rejoicing in the opportunity to corporately worship and hear God’s Word today. He’s so precious and gracious to us. I pray that your heart is tendered to the body of Christ this morning and that no matter where you are.. you are celebrating the Sabbath. Praying that you are celebrating the kind of God we serve.
We are desperate for your prayers over our sweet Joanne today. Toben updated last night and asked for us to pray for a miracle TODAY. I know we have been praying for a miracle, but let’s pray for the BIG stuff today. Let’s be mindful all day today to keep Joanne and her healing at the forefront of our hearts and minds, all the while being obedient to His will over our lives. Toben’s update is at Joanne’s blog: The Simple Wife There is also an update on Janna’s blog: Mustard Seeds and an amazing, vulnerable and blessed post from Kristen at: khphotography .

without ceasing for Joanne….
Most of you are aware of our prayers over my friend, Joanne.

If you aren’t aware, Joanne suffered a major stroke Tuesday morning while running on her treadmill at home.
Her husband, Toben is updating her blog when he is able over at The Simple Wife. Her sister, Kristen wrote a lovely post this morning at khphotography. It’s an indescribable way of life for all of them right now. I covet your prayers over not only Joanne, but her family and friends. If you are on the Twitter, you can follow Toben at tobenheim . One of Joanne’s sweet friends, Janna has put together wonderful blessing buntings for Joanne’s hospital room. Feel free to join in and either leave a comment for Janna to use or make your own blessing bunting. I’m going to try and see if I can create a presentable one this weekend for her.

I’ll have instructions on my computer screen and will read them as well. It’s got some great recordable features to share. It also has the opportunity for chatting while we pray that will enable us to share the scripture we are praying over her. Mary will moderate while I host and lead our time of prayer over her. So, join us. Spread the word. If you can’t join us, commit to pray for an hour at 9am CST tomorrow. I’d love to hear about how God is moving in your prayer life over Joanne if you would like to share.

Thank you for praying. Please don’t stop. Jo is fighting for her life. She needs us. I guarantee that she would be doing the very same thing for us.
I’m grateful. Hope to hear you tomorrow morning!
