Prayerthread

[miepie]

Hi ladies!

This is a thread to post your prayerrequests, so we all know what specifically to pray for.... instead of having to search all the way through the Women at the Well..... :)

I will start....
Although I feel very good right now, thanks to the Ritalin :D , I am taking 3 new meds today and I ask your prayers for that, because a few of those will make me very sick and with 31 meds a day I have to take some kind of med every hour and two on a half hour, so that's a lot for my body to deal with.... right now it's craving water..... and that with already 24 glasses of water a day for the meds.... :lol:
Monday I have to go see the cardiologist, so I ask your prayers for that too....

Love you,
Mieke :kiss:

Let's remember Woman at the Well - she's in Jamaica for a funeral. Let's also pray that the edema in her legs and feet won't make her time there more difficult.

I volunteer at a local Crisis Pregnancy Center - and will soon be starting an Abortion Recovery Bible Study there. This is new - face to face counseling is something I haven't done in the past, with me as counselor that is ;). So I would like your prayers that God have His hand all the way through it!! Thank you!!

[Sweetserenity]

Please pray for me on all fronts...my ongoing health situation has left with me more non-mobile days than mobile lately, the new physical therapist put me in some sort of contraption that I find out is definitely detrimental to my back (praise God! He put the right people in my path to stop it). There was a death in the family on mother's day, a family hero, my uncle. Prayers for my husband who is still reeling from trying to "fix" everything that is wrong since my accident and job loss....he has taken on two jobs and is exhausted....pray to soften his heart and open him back to the Word of Christ...I know he does not have to face this alone...but his heart is hard that this is happening to me, to us and to our kids. Prayers for our daughter who is 19 in love and contemplating quitting college to take care of mom and be with the BF (not good reasons). Prayers for our finances...seems refinancing was all the wrong thing to do since my employer would not approve me to return....yikes...and now the wheelchair lift is broken, again, so I am a wee bit confined... Prayers for our son who is facing a world full of sin at college... It is hard to celebrate your personhood in that environment. I thought there would be many pressures but had no idea how much he would be under attack (from satan) and how much the differences between city kids and local kids would be a factor. Prayers for my brothers daughter, age 3, who h as a tumor. We have had good news in that she is now cancer free---but the tumor is large and we are praying for complete healing. Prayers for my mom and dad, this death in the family is sooo hard on them. Prayers too for both my brothers and their families--their j obs are taking them out of state and for the first time our families will be apart. Both are moving in the next 30 days... prayers for their safety, security and happiness... prayers for continued connection and love in this family... it is scarey to be apart... 4 generations have never been separated by states before.... Last, prayers for healing, health and happiness for all you. In Christ's Love, Lynne

Just a little prayer for me, I have a doctors appointment tomorrow afternoon. Going to have out patient surgery to remove a small cyst on my back near my spine. Nothing serious I don't think. I decided I better get it taken care of now. I had more imortant things to take care of before.
Thanks my sisters, :hug:
Love, Deb

Oh Mieke!!! You are drinking way, way too much water! And it can be dangerous to your health....here read this: http://www.uswaternews.com/archives/arcsupply/5drintoox7.html

I would talk to your dr about drinking this much water...too much water can literally drown the cells in your body. Now I realize most of the people in this article that they are talking about were being very physical active...but certainly not the first lady mentioned in the article. I heard about this I think on the news. It can affect anyone...whether you are being physical active or not...and I know you can't be too active due to your illness...I really think you need to talk to your dr about drinking this much water. (sorry I am a nag...I just care about you) :hug:

(so while meipie is calling someone about this) put on prayer request my nephew Tim who went to bootcamp Wednesday that I posted about in prayer request. I got an email from my sister today about him....he was able to call her today but the call is very limited only like three minutes. He has been talking too much so had to do alot of push ups already...lol. Said something about not offically starting the bootcamp training until next week...sister didn't know what that meant...the call wasn't long enough for him to explain.

Please please pray this works for him! Something needs to work out in this young man's life!

thanks

[miepie]

Praying for you Debra and for Tim.....

Julie, I had to stop taking some meds unfortunately due to the side effects, so I cut down the water to 17 glasses a day..... but I drink tea besides that too..... I think my body needs a lot of water because some of the meds make me very thirsty......

Please pray for me on Wednesday when we are going to see the doc again and this time Charles is going to do the talking, and tell her that we cannot go on like this with me eating like this.... my body rejects more and more food and we want her to write that referal now! Please pray that she will cooperate.... :pray:

Love you,
Mieke :kiss:

Ok I will! Being full on water would make it hard to eat too. Some people use water to fill themselves up when they are on diets...it gives them the full feeling so they don't feel hungry...but then I know eating is making you feel sick. I take allergy medication that can make me feel very thirsty too...I use tic tacks in my mouth if I feel like I am drinking too much...that helps alot with the dryness....better then water actually. I will be keeping you in my prayers that this doctor listens and writes you the referral. Try drinking a sports drink so you aren't flushing all the elecolites out of your body too.

Hi, Ladies. I'm new here and haven't posted anywhere yet except the introduction forum, but the first thing I'd like to do here is leave a prayer request for my sister. She is an addict and an alcoholic and is surely gonna hit rock bottom (again!) soon. Our parents, her grown children and all us siblings have dealt with this for years, but it never gets any easier to watch.

That's really all I can articulate right now (my mind just reels with it all, as well as my heart breaking), but thank you in advance for any prayers you may offer up for her.

Have a blessed day all,
Marilyn

[groovyloopylou]

hi girls. I dont like to moan but i have a cold thats come right after my period and i feel so wiped out. Prayer would be good :D

:hug: thanks everyone xxxxxxx

[JesusRocks]

For me I too need prayers for ongoing and new health issues, financial issues....and to be pleasing to God...a job for hubby would be nice......Thank you

[SnVr4JC]

My husband will be having a biopsy early in May. I would like to request prayers that God will touch him and make this growth benign. And please pray for me to have strength to help my husband get through this difficult time (although it may feel more difficult for me). Thank you ladies!

And I will include a special prayer tonight for all of you posting here today too. God knows what we need and I believe he will take care of us! :pray:

[karenoka27]

[Befaithful]

For two days I have had severe pain in my mouth at first I thought it might be a tooth and it still might be but I am also wondering if it could be my gums??? I do not have insurance or the money to go to a dentist. ...Thank you for praying.

[miepie]

I'll add that to my prayerlist for you girl..... :hug: :pray:

[Befaithful]

I posted this email in urgent prayers it is so disconterting I wanted to request prayer here as well, for those who might miss it. It is a portion of an email from my son in Bagdad, Iraq.I just got back in town today, he sent it yesterday. Thank you for praying.:(:hug:

PLease pray for my boss. He is hurting us so much and destroying morale. I am not sure I can make it 15 months with him. He is full of a vicious hatred that scares me. I have to take medicine every day to not have stomach pain due to him and It makes it so I cant fully concentrate.
Thank you mother for the Emails again. I am not able to check them as much as I used to, I wish I could though. I love you.



:cry::pray::pray:

[~~*ek*~~]

hey, if ya'll don't mind..

i'm having some health issues (since 12/2/06). Multiple Sclerosis has been mentioned by 2 docs but my new (wonderful) neuro says it could be a few things.. he's talking about a spinal tap possibly within the next 6-8 wks.
also, my husband was granted full, legal permanent custody of his daughter 11/9/06 but now the abusive, addicted alcoholic mother is suing us for custody &/or unsupervised visits, which we know are not in the best interest of the child - but we cannot afford a retainer for an attorney & court is in two weeks! please pray that God takes care of this for us.
pray for my mother in law who is riding both sides of the fence as far as this custody issue is concerned & she's also riding the fence in her Faith.
pray for my hubby b/c he is awesome & so patient with me & my health issues (not to mention a wonderful child to my son & his daughter.. and our cats lol). he could use tons more prayer to help keep him strong during these times. :)

TIA!!

[Befaithful]

:hug::pray::pray::pray::hug::kiss:

[~~*ek*~~]

thanks for the prayers!
God really heard them - so far, He's brought us the most awesome attorney in the world AND the means to pay the retainer! keep praying - now all we have to do is win! :)

[Beloved by God]

Okay, you made a prayer thread, so here ya go... one more person to pray about. Her name is Danielle and if you don't want to read my rant you don't have to.
I almost feel bad asking you guys to pray. I mean there are people on here that are suffering greatly from debilitating diseases and I am gonna ask you to pray for a druggie- I mean she does this to herself.

But anyway to explain, I am in prayer for my cousin Danielle right now. She is 6 months older than me, and me and her used to be pretty close, but now we're not. After HS she went to work at a Sonic were all the employees did drugs, and she got pregnant by an abusive guy (I drove with her mom for three hours one way to go rescue her when she was 3 months pregnant. She was having seizures and he was leaving her alone all day). Well she cut down to 3 cigarettes a day and no drinking, but when her baby was about 3 months old she started disappearing for days at a time, and her mom and a baby sitter took care of the baby. She also stole from her mother during this time, she broke into her mom's house when she wasn't there.

Then she forged some stolen checks for money and got 4 years probation when she really should have got 7 years in prison. When she was locked up in the county jail for 3 months and she got a guy to put up bail for her, but then they found out about another forged check and within 48 hours she was back in jail. Then after she got this great second chance she made the worst mistake ever, she stole a bunch of money from the place she was working at and they got her on camera. So she was supposed to serve like a year or something, but they counted the months she was locked up in county and so she gets out at the end of next month.

She apparently has a real problem with stealing, it is like a psychological disorder. She has been like this since we were kids, but it has gotten a lot worse. She will get out sometime around the 22nd of July, but her little boy turns 1 on the 14th and she is gonna miss it (as well as my Wedding). She also missed his first Christmas and Easter and lots of other things.

The drugs made her a different person, a bad person. But I am hoping that since she has been locked up for this long she will have dried out/detoxed and I am hoping she does not go back to work at Sonic and get back in with that crowd. She was running with some serious low-lives and they just put her deeper into the hole.

Sorry this was so long but this is really weighing heavy on my mind. I guess I needed to talk about. Her little boy is so sweet, I worry for him. Her mom has custody of him, so Danielle can't dissapear with him.

I have wrote her a couple of letters and got some back. She said she was reading her Bible and praying everyday. I wrote a bunch of scripture down about God loving us and always being there for us, and about prayer and sent it to her. I haven't got a response since then and I sent her a post card. They actually sent her to a prison, and it had her shook up, so I am hoping that she will be good because she is afraid to get sent back. She says she misses her son, I am hoping that his sweet face will be what she needs to keep her on track. She couldn't recieve visitors, but she could have pictures of him and her mom.

So anyway, if you would take a moment to say a prayer, that maybe God will give her strenght and guidence and maybe she will stay out of trouble.
Thanks, Sam

[~~*ek*~~]

i know first hand about how God can speak to someone while incarcerated.. didn't He speak to Daniel during imprisonment, too?
i'm rusty on my Bible, sorry. it's been a minute.

i'll be praying for your cousin, that she sees the Light.
and i'm praying for you and Danielle's son...

[Befaithful]

:pray::pray::pray:

[~~*ek*~~]

befaithful - have you heard from your son lately?

ya'll are in my prayers...

[Befaithful]

Again I come for prayer it is the same situation work and a place to live.

I have lived through the grace and mercy of our Lord in this same dwelling since 12/06. Last night I was told that someone was moving in next Saturday and they will be paying rent for the whole basement (where I stay)so I must be out by next Friday.

I have continued to apply for jobs and do odd jobs during this time but a full time position has not been offered. I have looked for a place to live where I could possibly clean someone's home and do their laundry, grocery shopping etc in exchange for rent. I have not had anything pan out. I did have a few leads but the doors slammed shut. I also had a place where I could move temp til it was sold but it was in a very dangerous part of town.

Last night when I was told this situation it literally made me ill. I trust the Lord and pray that my faith will not fail Him under this pressure. I know the Lord has a plan please pray that I would hear Him and my life would bring glory to His name. At this moment I feel the symptoms of being nauseated. I am usually never nauseated.

[miepie]

Still praying for you girl, as always....... :hug: :pray:

Love you,
Mieke :kiss:

[Befaithful]

Thank you for always being there praying for me Miepie.:kiss::hug:
:pray:

[~~*ek*~~]

Befaithful - you are def. in my prayers!!!

also - i have another couple of requests..

1) my friend, Steven Moseley. i've known him all my life.. he's 31 & a few wks ago was diagnosed with Stage IV Rectal Cancer & it has mestastized into his liver already.

2) this child custody thing.. my stepdaughter's mother is still pushing it & we at least won a "small battle" part of it, but it's all a big waiting game, basically. it's severely draining, financially. my husband & i have both expressed (only to one another) that maybe we should just give up. i'm sick of being falsely accused of things (she's SO lying about me - like i'm now "in charge" of the girl & i refuse to let them talk on the phone when she doesn't even call!, etc) and we are now not even able to make ends meet b/c of the loan we had to take out for the attorney's retainer. hubby feels defeated b/c of the money situation but i've told him that we still owe this loan for 2 yrs, even if the case were to end tomorrow. i told him that it's either we are broke or the girl is subjected to neglect & all kinds of terrible abuse. this isn't about us, it's about her. at the same time, though, it's very difficult.
please pray for all of us. i really just don't know what to do anymore. i've given it to God, but i really just need strength and help with finances.

[karenoka27]

praying for your friend Steve and for you situation..may the Lord intervene and bless your financial situation

[Loved]

Sooo shy asking I wanted to ask just you ladies! Plus I feel really silly, but it's on my heart every time I come on the forum to ask... I've been praying for my future husband, that maybe God would bring Him along soon, and obviously that God would be making him into the man of God that He wants him to be. Would you guys be willing to just pray with me that God would be shaping my husband, and that God would give me wisdom to recognize him when he comes along in God's perfect timing? I really am content single and satisfied in God's presence, but my heart is to be married (it would be really nice to be married before I start fostering children, which I've been feeling may be soon, but God knows!). I also just want to continue to cling to God and seek Him so that I am the woman of God my husband needs and has prayed for (and more importantly, the woman of God GOD wants me to be :)).

If anyone else out there is single and having the same prayer request on their heart for themselves and their future husband, please let me know so I can pray for you too!

Thanks all. :hug:

[Crystalblue]

Praying. :pray:

I'm in the same boat. I'm not so worried about the husband bit at present because my situation really stinks. I'd like to get out of that first but after that, meeting the right guy would be really, really nice.


So prayer for my situation (and/or patience that I can cope with it till it's finally finished) would be wonderful.

thanks

[stillforgiven]

Hey, ladies. I could post this out in the open forum, but I like it better in here sometimes. I need your prayers. I have a habit of keeping things that are bothering me tight in my heart until it makes me sick in my soul, and I've done it again. I have a history or self injury and destructive behavior driven by a death-wish, but so far I haven't walked that path this time - for which I am thankful.

My church knows about this depression now, but the problem with most church people is they expect a band-aid prayer will fix it. There are a couple of people there, one elder in particular, who aren't expecting this. The elder knows it goes back several years with some things that I've never dealt with. The biggest problem here is, the elder is a married man, so I can't spend a lot of time talking one-on-one with him. He has the gift of discernment, and he told me tonight that he is very worried about me. I'm not sure if he knows of my S/I past or not, but I admitted to him that I'm worried about me too.

One thing is that I've never let the tears fall for as long as they need to, locking my heart away to fester back up. I don't want to do that this time, and I feel like I need to cry out some of the tears that have been locked up for so long. Like I've got to go through this valley of tears to get to the mountain of joy again - a place that I haven't truly been for so very long. For the past 10 years, all joy has been laced with sadness. I realize that many times, people get miracle healing even in their emotions, and I know that for some, it's a faith-building journey. I feel that this is to be a faith-building journey, but most church people don't see it that way. They think one trip to the altar, and you should be happy again. I've tried, and it doesn't work for me like that.

I'm not going back to proof this, so I hope it makes sense. I appreciate your prayers.

[RedwoodGirl]

I have doctor's appointments scheduled for the next two days. I will be receiving important test results. My husband is out of town on a business trip. It was important for me to have him with me at these two appointments. I am nervous about being alone when I receive the news.

Please pray that I will be strong and at peace.

Thank you all so much.

[miepie]

I promise to pray for you girl...... :hug: and if you need to talk I am here for you...... :hug: :pray:

Please say a prayer for me too........ I am hurting really bad these days, and it's sometimes too much to handle...... :cry: Charles doesn't know what to do about it except calling the doc that doesn't know what to do either......... :rolleyes:
Please lift me up to our Father, He knows best what to do....... :pray:

Love you all,
Mieke :kiss:

[Church_Of_Scotland]

[RedwoodGirl]

Thank you all for praying for me. I was able to get through my doctor's appts without a hitch. The Lord was my strength.

[Seeker of truth]

I need prayer desperatly.

Jim drank after being sober for 16 months. Our finances are really bad. Jim doesn't want me to return to work but I feel I must.

Marion was violent in school Friday.

I have enough Faith for both of us which is good because Jim has none. My Faith hasn't wavered but I feel very detatched from everything. I didn't even go to Church yesterday as I just wasn't up for facing people there.

Please pray for me to have strength and focus.

[miepie]

Praying here Kay....... wishing I could do more for you...... :hug: :pray:

Love you,
Mieke :kiss:

[karenoka27]

I just went over the most recent prayer requests and found that I have already been praying for most of you.

Redwood-Praise the Lord for getting you to the doctors. Continued prayer for whatever your situation is.
Mieke- you already know you are always being brought before the Lord and I won't stop.
Church of Scotland- I love you like a kid sister! I am here for you if you ever need to pm me!
Seeker of Truth- I think of you often and keep you in prayer asking the Lord to give you peace in your heart and strength to keep going.

I ask for prayer for this time in my life when my husband and I have to make some decisions about our life and possible changes. We are seeking clear direction that we might do what we need too. Thanks.

[miepie]

You know I'm praying for you too Karen..... :hug:

Love you much girl,
Mieke :kiss:

[Seeker of truth]

Thank you Karen :hug: You are in my prayers too. I listed you in my siggy even ;)

[Church_Of_Scotland]

Thank you for the prayers Karen and I will keep you in my prayers.

Remember to trust in God's to aid your decision.

[RobbieP]

This also posted in prayer but can you guys just pray for the next few days for my husband to make the right decision for Baptism?

They are having one April 6 and I am kind of praying he will but only if He wills.....Ya know what I'm saying?


It needs to be a step of obedience for our Lord not because he feels pressured from wife and friends...

[Beloved by God]

Please pray that I can be a good witness to my family, and not a pushy annoying one. I just want my family to love the Lord and know him like I do. I am afraid that the majority of them are not going to heaven. Please pray that the Lord seasons my words with grace and love. Please pray that my family opens thier ears, and hears.

I also pray that all of you feel well today, and that you are getting along with your families.

[EaglesWINGS911]

Please pray for me and my boyfriend, my parents like him, but my siblings have started to dislike him some:cry:, mostly from some things that were just misunderstandings, please please pray this all gets worked out. He is a good guy and my family is very loving and supportive, just very protective. I just want God's will and I want my family to really like my boyfriend. This is hard for me, it just hurts and I'm trying to trust God, but I'm also rather scared at times that they wont like him for some reason:(.

[thediaryofjane]

I'm worried about a lot of stuff...school, a few spiritual things, some interpersonal things with friends and family...I have a tendency to swing from thinking everything's going to be fine to feeling like I could absolutely break down. I don't know what's wrong with me, really, and I could use prayer.

You are not alone, we all feel like this at times as we walk through life. I think this is why the Lord calls us to not worry about tomorrow, but to pay attention to what He provides for us just in today.
Praying for you my sister....:hug:

[miepie]

Ok, let's get this thing going again...... we can pray for each other here...... :hug:
I'd like prayers for my health, especially the pain, and for my husband Charles and his pain......

Next.....

Love you all,
Mieke :kiss:

[fuzzi]

Mieke, I prayed for you and your husband this morning, before I even knew about this thread! God just laid the two of you on my heart, so I followed His lead. :bounce:

I would really appreciate some prayers: I've got major surgery scheduled in a month (May 19th), am struggling with perimenopause, and now the enemy has thrown more at me, through my family. It's all that I can do to keep going, and every morning I'm just concentrating on hanging on for another day.

Thank y'all...this place has been a blessing to me, because of all of you. :hug:

My request is that my husband begins working again soon. I am getting tiered from working so much overtime every week. Also, I am praying that my husband is blessed to make good financial decisions for our family... :pray:

[fuzzi]

Sister, I'll be praying for your husband, too. Mine isn't very good about financial decisions, either...

The perimenopause hit me last fall and it was awful...I hope you can get some estrogen in your system soon! That will make all the difference in the world...I feel for you..I know how bad that can be. I will pray too about your upcoming surgery and family problems...it does seem like when it rains..it pours...

I am praying for you also...and everyone who has posted lately on here...I pray God be with you and guide you in everything you do...to uplift you and simply love you...

I would really appreciate some prayers: I've got major surgery scheduled in a month (May 19th) ...
Well, it's just around the corner. I'll be going into the hospital on Tuesday morning, and having a total hip replacement done.

If you would, as you are led, please pray for me, and the surgeon, and all. I know the Lord is in control, but I'm still a bit nervous: I've never had any type of surgery before, let alone major surgery as this is.

Afterwards, I probably won't be online either, not for a week or more. If I am feeling up to it, I'll try to get online and just let y'all know how I'm doing.

Thank you for your prayers.

URGENT REQUEST!!

Ladies, a dear friend of mine (I just found out) is in the process of a divorce. She's a young newlywed - they didn't even make it to a year before this started. It's already progressed to a divorce, she's moved out, and he has 100% checked out of the marriage - hasn't contacted her in over a month.

She's heartbroken, as am I for her.

PLEASE! God can restore this. God can fix anything. Please pray for Emmy's marriage and that her husband will have his heart softened to at least seek counseling and potentially reconcile this marriage she wants so desperately to save.

[CoffeeCat]

Fuzzi and Ladyinwaiting... I am praying for you both -- Fuzzi, for your hip... and Lady, for your dear friend! :hug:

Fuzzi- lady in waiting's friend Emmy and Andrea-
:pray::pray:
for you all praying right now!

[fuzzi]

Well, tomorrow is the big day: I am scheduled for hip replacement surgery at 2:15pm ET.

If you feel led to, please pray for a good surgery, a minimum of pain, and a quick recovery, as the Lord wills.

I'll be offline starting tomorrow for about three weeks, so I will not be able to respond right away.

God bless you all, and thank you. :hug:

[Prufrock]

Please forgive me, sisters, for invading your space. But Fuzzi and her husband are close friends of mine in real life, and I accompanied them to the hospital today. Her surgery went very well, and she is currently in the recovery room. I'm sure that she would thank you for your prayers if she could; and I ask you to continue to lift her up during her recovery, which will be quite a challenge.

God bless you!

Thanks for the update, Prufrock! Continuing to pray....

just read this and I'm praying for you fuzzi!!!

[Diggindeeper]

I'm here stil praying for you, Fuzzie!

Recuperation takes time, and so I am praying for a FAST recovery and that you won't be too bored and all that. (My husband had both hip replacements, one after the other, and is very glad NOW that he did. He does not hurt any more, in getting up and down and out of a car, etc. So I do know it takes time...allow yourself time.)

Meanwhile, know that I am praying for you. :pray:

[moonglow]

I am praying for you also...quick recovering! :pray::pray:

God bless

[fuzzi]

Thank you all for your prayers.

I'm doing much better, thank you. I have to keep my leg elevated when I'm not walking, so I can't really answer posts yet. However, I'll be back soon, Lord willing!

:hug:

So happy to hear you are well! Can't wait to have you back in action!

[fuzzi]

Woo hoo! The Lord is so good!

I talked with my surgeon's nurse this afternoon, and she said I'm ready to sit for short periods of time!! Yippee!!!

I'm also taking walks up our street, using my walker. Of course, that's when the physical therapist is here, but still...it's a wonderful feeling!

And I've not had to take any pain meds since I left the hospital on May 22nd!

Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace. He does, indeed, answer prayers, as is evident by your prayers for me being answered. God bless you, all. :pp

[tayariswife]

oh fuzzi that is great!! a nice walk does something fantastic for the soul doesn't it!?
I will keep you in prayer and appreciate your keeping us updated! :hug:

[fuzzi]

Thank you for your prayers, sister.

I was hoping to be online more, since I was okayed to sit for short periods of time, but I just cannot get enough leverage to get up out of my computer chair without assistance. I have to wait until someone is home in order to get online. :(

It'll get better, soon, I know, and I'll get more 'up to speed' here. :)

Hi Ladies,

I've been gone for an extended period, trying to break my computer addiction and focus on serving my family.

I am asking for prayer that God chooses to heal or ameliorate my blood pressure issues.

Also, DH and I have been trying to have a baby for 25 cycles now...nothing so far. I feel very strongly, still, that our family is missing someone...that I'm supposed to be having another baby. If you can bring yourself to, can you please pray that our missing family member arrives sooner rather than later? I feel somedays like I have no hope left and am just exhausted by it all and SO depressed. :cry:

(On the upside, God has been working miracles between me and DH, and for that I am very, very thankful.)

Thank you in advance for your prayers.

[Momof5]

Welcome back, tryinghard!:hug: I am praying that the Lord's will be done in your life.

[fuzzi]

God answers prayers:

Today my physical therapist said I was ready to move from a walker to a cane, and I walked down the road to the stop sign and back (about 7-8 lots). She then released me, only four weeks after surgery!

I go back to the surgeon in two weeks, and he'll tell me if I can go back to work.

I am so psyched, and thankful....God bless you all for your prayers!
