Monday Prayer Requests (Nov. 24, 2008)

I hope ya'll had a great weekend.

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:

*Please pray for Adrienne and her family. The birth mother of the baby girl that they were going to adopt has decided to parent her instead of proceeding with the adoption plan.

*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.

*Please remember Greg and Nicol. As the holidays near, it is more difficult without their baby Luke.

*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.

*Please pray for Becca and her husband (who I learned about through Jody's blog). Their two children have been in their home for nearly a year and are now being placed back with their biological mother next week.

*Tricia, Nate and Gweneth are remodeling their new home. Please keep them in your prayers. Please also remember that Tricia suffers from CF and has an infection in her chest.

*Pray for Stacy and Spencer as they continue to grieve the loss of their son Isaac.

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

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

*Please pray for Chell. She suffered a miscarriage on November 19th.

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

*Please pray for my friend as she continues an alcohol recovery program.

*Pray for Jenny as she begins her 3rd week at her new job this week and last week was not a good one for her and her husband.

*Please pray for Fay and her family. They recently moved and now Fay's husband will be deployed in 2 months.

*Keep Jennifer and her husband in your prayers - they are going to start fertility treatments soon.

*Please pray for Teresa's upcoming fertility specialist appointment (on December 3rd).

*Please pray for my friend Lauren and her family. Her Memaw died on November 20th. Also, Lauren is 17 weeks pregnant and she's having a lot of lower back pain. She is seeing a chiropractor to help ease the pain.

*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.

*Please keep my friend in your prayers. She and her husband are trying to reconcile their marriage.

*Please remember Jen as she continues to grieve the loss of her husband and her baby.

*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 Caitlin's Grammy in your prayers. Due to the real estate market issues, she is having trouble selling homes. Please pray that she would close on a home very soon.

*Please keep Chase in your prayers. He is 3 1/2 and his ear tubes are starting to come out. He will have to have another surgery on November 26 to put in a new set of tubes. Please also pray for Chase's mom, Kahla. She is recovering from the hysteroscopy she had last week. Her uterus is perfect, Praise the Lord, but now she still does not know why she lost her twins in August.

*Please keep Baby Ava in your prayers.

*Please keep my step-mom in your prayers - she broke her foot while at work recently. She is a pediatrician in Washington, DC.

*Please pray for Maria and her family.

*Please remember April Marie, a friend of mine from CafeMom. She gave birth to a baby girl, Ashlynn Elizabeth at 23 weeks 3 days on November 12, 2008. She weighed 1 pound 5 ounces. Ashlynn is currently in the NICU and is doing great. After the birth, April Marie's infection was so bad that they ended up doing an emergency surgery and had to take her uterus. She was told by the doctors that it is a miracle she survived. She and her husband believe that God gave her another chance at life so she can be here for her daughter.

*Please pray for Cate and her husband who lost their first baby on September 25th, at 10 weeks.

*Please keep all of the children who have incarcerated parents in your prayers - especially as we approach the holidays. This year our two Angel Tree Children are: Edward who is 2 years old. His wish for Christmas is any toy. Marissa who is 11 years old. Her wish for Christmas is a silver necklace.

*Please pray for my daughter, Caitlin. She still has a cough.

*Please pray for my friend, Melanie. Please pray that the Lord will open a door for a new job & please pray that her walk with the Lord would gain strength.

*Please pray for Baby David.

**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!

*Tricia appears to be cancer free!!

*Faith Clare was born on November 12th and is a beautiful and healthy girl!

*Rich is at home with his family!

*Stephanie is 20 weeks pregnant and is having a baby girl!
