This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

Quick Wednesday morning update

First off, praise God David and Marcie gained some weight! Will did too, but that's hardly news. :) Still, we are very, very grateful.

Seth's carbon dioxide level is up to 71. They've turned up his machine to try to vent that out of him. Thank you for praying for his protection and healing. He has been resting comfortably.

Gracie looks so much better and is so much more alert after her blood transfusion last night, plus she hasn't had any more "spells," praise God! She gets two more doses of the medication to try and close her patent ductus arteriosis today. We should know by tomorrow night, I think, if the Lord chose to close off the PDA in these two days or if she will need surgery. We know His plan is best - thanks for praying!

Isaac had another disappointing day at school yesterday, largely due to the fact that it is a very regimented, strict environment, not as "warm fuzzy" as his three previous schools in the past year. He said he's really worried about messing up and being treated so "rudely," as he phrased it. (Not military material, our son.) Thank you for praying for him, and THANK YOU for the cards and gifts! He feels very loved. He saved up the money some people have sent until he had enough, combined with his saved allowance, to buy an inexpensive camera with which he can take pictures of the babies. :)

 At His Feet,
Carrie, for Gavin too

    Dear Lord, Please help Isaac to adjust to his new school; bring peace and friends to a chaotic situation, so that Isaac can learn and have fun, and not be stressed. Please take those who have treated him rudely and soften their hearts, and resolve the issues that bring Isaac worry. Bless him as he has to deal with change and uncertainty and let him know he can count on You. Amen NKL

    Praying continuously for your family, especially for Isaac at school today. We have one with similar temperament, so praying specifically that he would learn how the school works quickly and that any correction or "rudeness" would not affect his gentle spirit. Love you guys!

    Truly the battle is the Lords. This is so much bigger than all of you combined so what a beautiful reminder that yours is to stand still and let Him work. Oh my dearest ones, I pray for and think of you so often. May today bring encouraging news on all fronts.

    Blessings,

    Our boy had similar issues last year at school- Keeping Isaac in my prayers. I know how tough it is to go to school in a strange place. The babies and you all are in my prayers, too!
