What Next?

For those who don't already know, the Myers have been battling health issues for far too long now. For over 6 months, at every turn it seems that someone in the family has been sick with one thing or another. For a couple of weeks, things were great. Everyone seemed to be healthy and strong and then, BAM, it hits us again. This last weekend, Tasha started feeling a sore throat and sinus pressure, Kylea was in tears with obvious intense pain in her ears, and Kaden was a complete mess, with a major runny nose (infection apparent) and high fever. Today, Tasha took the kids to the clinic to see the doctor and came home to tell me that both the kids have double ear infections.

I had heard enough. I've been contemplating checking a couple of places in the house for mildew and mold, thinking that perhaps the ongoing sickness might stem from something lurking under a shower floor or cabinet, especially after what I found when I ripped out the kitchen cabinets last year. Well, after trashing our bathroom, tearing out the floor of the shower, pulling up carpet in the hallway and removing toe boards under a cabinet, I came up with nothing. At least nothing serious enough to cause us the problems we've been having.

So...

Perhaps this is a spiritual attack that we've been facing all along. If so, I guess I can attempt to do as James exhorts and take joy in this trial, believing that the testing of our faith will produce perseverance. I have to say though, joy or no joy, we are getting really tired of the poor health. Please pray with us for God to give us wisdom if there is something we need to do with regards to the house, and that he would give us complete victory over our infirmities.
