Oh how many times I wish I would have listened to the still small voice leading me to do something. Praise the Lord your daughter made it through. Thank you for writing the book. I'll have to check it out as it sounds wonderful!<br /><br />Carrie. I. Am. JEALOUS. :( Everywhere I go here in the blogosphere, I'm reminded that I didn't get to attend the conference. I'm going to pout!<br />Seriously though, glad you had fun. Just next year, perhaps you can smuggle me in your suitcase?!

All three of my kids and my husb...Thank you, Carla. All three of my kids and my husband have asthma. I have it too, but considering what the rest of my family goes through, it's hardly worth mentioning.<br /><br />Even since that fall I've had plenty of "hand wringing" nights with the question in the air - should I or should I not?<br /><br />I suppose you might think, just go, but sometimes staying home is actually healthier for the child...not just because of germs but because being relaxed helps. Anxiety can make the situation worse and a trip to the hospital is a sure fire way to increase anxiety. <br /><br />I am glad, though, that the doctor took the time to show me how to see distress in a child. I know to look for those signs, and if I don't see them, I'm more inclined to continue with treatments at home.<br /><br />Last spring, I called our doctor on a Sunday morning because my youngest was having an asthma attack. He dealt with it over the phone and didn't use the knee-jerk response of "take her to the hospital". Having established a good relationship with our doctor has made it possible to make better judgment calls. God has truly blessed us.<br /><br />I pray I'll never have to go through that again, but if I do, I know God will be with me.Lynn Squirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493660128797850584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-30823283525544031152011-09-27T12:03:19.138-04:002011-09-27T12:03:19.138-04:00What a touching interview.

I have asthma and I know it is not even easy for me to know when I need to go to the hospital. When dealing with the management of a chronic situation it is so hard to remain objective. I'm so glad your daughter pulled through the ordeal, and you as well! <br /><br />I have heard nothing but good things about Joab's Fire and hope it, too, touches a lot of lives. It is wonderful that you are ministering to your readers with this book.<br /><br />Many blessings!Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-75368838898053389202011-09-26T15:59:55.866-04:002011-09-26T15:59:55.866-04:00Carrie, I trust you had a great time at the confer...Carrie, I trust you had a great time at the conference.Lynn Squirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493660128797850584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-51178774948986397972011-09-26T15:59:21.756-04:002011-09-26T15:59:21.756-04:00Diana, Only God can use this book for His glory.

Lynn, we have ALL made unwise decisions in our lives, but as you have said, God's grace and mercy is bountiful, and I'm so grateful for that!<br /><br />I was blown away by Joab's Fire. No, it was not the typical historical romance fiction I normally read, but it left a great impact on me. I believe that every reader will glean something different from Joab's Fire, depending on where they are at in their lives. As I'm already a Christian, who is experiencing a multiplicity of trials, physical mostly, reading this book and how it parallels the story of Job helped me in a lot of ways. Joab wasn't being punished (neither am I, though the enemy whispers that in our ears alot), Joab had comforters that didn't help him much (so do I, though I'm thankful for the true comforters He has sent my way), Joab had more in the end than he had in the beginning (and so will I).<br /><br />This book helped me to be more thankful, more hopeful, and more trusting, that "all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to his purpose"-Romans 8:28. Thank you, Lynn, for your obedience in writing this book, that I believe will impact every person who reads it in a different, but positive way! I'm sorry y'all, I just did another mini review...it's in my blood, Carrie!Diana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-86731294798561482432011-09-26T09:41:35.226-04:002011-09-26T09:41:35.226-04:00Hi Carrie, Thank you for having me.Hi Carrie, Thank you for having me.Lynn Squirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493660128797850584noreply@blogger.com
