Monday Prayer Requests (Nov. 10, 2008)

Hope you all had a great Monday.

Today is the day that I'm updating the prayer request/praise list.


I hope you all will join me in remembering and praying for the following:

*Rich still needs our prayers as they will continue to monitor his condition every other day at the hospital and he will get daily blood thinner shots.

*We all need to pray for our children. Angie Smith has laid out a clear plan on her blog to do so. Check it out here.

*Tricia heard from Duke regarding her 10/29 biopsy today. She has an infection (along with her CF and lymphoma). Please pray that the meds help over the next 30 days. Pray that the meeting at Duke next week to discuss the next treatment plan goes well.

*Pray for Stacy and Spencer. Last Friday, November 7, was one month since their baby, Isaac, went to heaven.

*Please keep my friend Sara and her husband in your prayers. Next week will be very hard. Their son, Samuel, was born on November 19, 2007 and went to heaven to be with Jesus on November 24, 2007.

*Greg and Nicol's house did not sell last week. Please keep them in your prayers.

*Please pray for our nation, our new president-elect and our economy.

*Always remember those of us who have lost our babies. Some of my friends are having an especially hard time right now.

*Pray for Jen's first day at her new job (starts tomorrow). She is, of course, nervous. She lost her twin babies 3 months ago and is worried about how to answer the, "do you have any children?" question.

*Please pray for my friend Lauren. She is 15 weeks pregnant and she's having a lot of lower back pain. She called her doctor today and they recommend that she take Darvocet but she is worried about the effects it might have on her baby. She is going to see the doctor tomorrow. Please pray that she would feel good enough to get some rest tonight so that she can ask all her questions of the doctor tomorrow to determine what to do next.

*Please keep Jocelyn in your prayers. She lost her second baby on March 28, 2008 and her due date would have been November 12th.

*Because we are a family who loves our dog, I have to pass along this prayer request: Courtney's dog, Mercy, broke his back last week. Please pray that he will be healed and for his family (Courtney and her husband have 9 children!).

*Please keep Jessica in your prayers as she is working with her sister in law, Meagan, to start up a non-profit organization called "Treyson's Purpose." This organization is being formed in memory of Treyson, Jessica's son who went to heaven on June 8, 2008. This organization is being formed to provide support, resources, and alternatives to pregnant women that are considering having an abortion.

*Keep Kenzie and her family in your prayers as she is still in the hospital awaiting baby Faith Clare's birth.

*Please remember Jen as she continues to grieve the loss of her husband and her baby. She is thinking about changing her blog header and profile. I know this must be very difficult.

*Pray for my friend Debbi as she has CF, her husband started a new job recently (that he keeps threatening to quit) and her meds are so expensive that she is unable to take them everyday (although she really needs to take them everyday). Please pray that she will be comforted and her depression will lessen and please pray that her husband would persevere even if the job is not something he likes to do (so that he can support his family).

*Please keep Chase in your prayers. He is 3 1/2 and his ear tubes are bocked again. He has another double ear infection and will head to the ENT doctor tomorrow to discuss what can be done to help him.

**If I've forgotten anyone, please know that God has not forgotten you. May you feel the loving, protecting and healing arms of the Lord wrapping around you each day.


Praise Him!

*Rich came home from the hospital today!

*Stephanie is 18 weeks pregnant and is feeling great!

*Rooney is 20 weeks pregnant with her baby girl!

*Ava is doing and feeling better this week!

*Stellan is a healthy baby boy!!
