Month: October 2012

We attended the funeral for a friend on Saturday.  He and his wife attended WTE #92 just after we had #91 where he was pastor (three years ago).   My husband really pushed him and his wife to go on the weekend.  WTE was mentioned in his eulogy and we heard that his wife alluded that getting through this difficult time will be easier because she made the walk…keep her and the family in your prayers, as well as the two congregations they were serving…thanks!

Praise alert!!! A friend is out of ICU and talking !  They have down-sized  her trach and she is reporting no effort in speaking.  She is also eating soft foods!

Big shout out of congratulations walk a butterfly.  She has been asked to present her research poster and has won an award.  Way to go!

Please keep a friend, his wife and their children’s families in your prayers. He was a co-worker with me 50 years ago in Altoona, Pa. and he and and his wife and family lived across the street from us. He has had his cancer return in his left lower leg and is facing surgery to amputate the leg above the knee next week.

Prayers please for a young couple having major issues in their marriage.  God knows who they are and what the problems are.  Also pray that God will intervene and guide them on the right path.

Thank you to everyone for their prayers and thoughts during this time.  It has helped to give us strength and peace through all of this.

I am asking for prayers for my daughter and granddaughters.  We are going to court tomorrow for custody. It is the hardest thing in the world for me to hand over my kids to anyone, I am just learning I can hand them to Jesus and He will take care of them.  This whole thing is not going the way I expected and it is a bit discouraging so I am also asking for prayers for all of us to see the wisdom in HIS outcome and know that somehow it will work out for the best.  Lord, I ask that you give us strength and you stand beside us in that courtroom.  I ask for peace of mind and let us FEEL your presence so that we may know it is not the judge or lawyers or even the people at stake, but that it is your outcome and in your time and only you know what is best for all of us.  Thank you Lord for all you do. Amen

Need lot of prayer – my wife was in a car accident today; she is ok

I am asking for prayers as I am on my way back to ER.
Update and Praise.  Not a heart issue and I was sent home.  Taking day off from work as I am still in a lot of pain.  Thank you all for the prayers and messages.  Now I need prayer for the Doctor’s to find out what is wrong.  Love you all!

Please pray for me!  I have not been feeling well since I got home form the Closer Walk.

Update on a friend, Everyday a new miracle!  Her trach is out and they have stopped her heparin so no more IV.  She is taking her favorite liquid independently!  Praise God!

Praise God for a great Koinonia!!

Well my son-in-law got his orders. He’ll be discharged the 16th of Oct. His commanding officer won’t help them change their home of record. They will NOT be coming to NY. Because the army has messed around for so long my daughter has not started her radiation. The commanding officer kept telling him that they would be leaving in two weeks. Every time the two weeks was up and he asked him when they were leaving, again he would say in two weeks.She saw a different Dr the other day and he asked her how come she hadn’t started her treatments. The Dr that did the surgery said that her cancer was stage one. This new Dr searched through her records and said this is a very aggressive cancer and she should have started radiation as soon as she went back to her ENT Dr for her followup to make sure her neck was healing properly before they started it. That was 6 weeks ago. She could have been done with this already. Please pray for her to be ok, traveling mercies, and my anger because I’m a mom & I’m not happy with the army, the commanding officer, or the first Dr at the ENT group.

Please lift up a young lady in prayer she wasn’t feeling well on Friday, woke up on Saturday with no feeling in her legs and is now in the hospital in a coma. Prayers for God’s healing power to surround her .

if you have a minute pleasesay a rayer for my boss, she is up at strong hospital having her baby. he’s a month early and she was having issues
Update – we have a baby, baby and mom are both doing well thank you, came into this world at 5 pounds 7 ounces and is fine thank you for all the prayers.

Please pray for my new roommate here at the hospital. She is going through similar things as I did plus cluster migranes.

Could use prayer for my family, Don’t like to ask but I am afraid of what might be coming. My husband works at Walmart part time and goes to school full time. WalMart has been giving him problems for a while now and seems like they want to get him out. I am afraid they are trying to do anything to get him fired and it might be working. Please pray that he can find another job before this happens. HE is the only one working and we can’t afford to be without this income. Thank You. He has been sick the last 2 days and called in, so I think they will probably let him go. He is going to the Dr today and will have a note from the Dr but I don’t think they will care.
______________________________________________________________________
Though I have been out of the loop for a couple of weeks now since my surgery I am feeling a bit stronger and have had some communications that I am passing on to you all for prayers. I know the power of prayer and thank you one and all for storming the gates of heaven on behalf of those in our congregations and for me. God’s blessings on you all.
My son in law, has been in the hospital since Wednesday . He is getting dialysis for his kidneys damaged from diabetes. Recently he has been diagnosed with a form of blood cancer for which he is receiving chemo. His wife has a bone spur in her hip which makes walking and driving to and from the hospital quite painful.
My daughter had oral surgery yesterday and had 4 wisdom teeth removed. We are having trouble staunching the bleeding and controlling her pain.
My husband’s right shoulder is getting progressively worse and he is actually (gasp!) thinking of seeking a doctor consultation.
I am gaining strength each day and the hip pain is fading. We got a great report from the doctor…pathology report came back negative for cancer! Thank you for the prayers.
A friend just had knee surgery and came through well…rehab to come.
A friend is in Canandaigua adult care and would love cards and visits.
A friend is continuing to gain strength since her surgery.
Lifting up one of our parishioners…God knows the who and why.
There are others to lift in our communities and our families…please keep them in our hearts and minds.

WOW! My first experience with a Koinonia weekend and what a joy to see the kids singing and praising our Lord! My son was a Caterpillar and boy what a joy and a blessing to hear his stories on the way home from the weekend. He truly is not the same kid I brought on Saturday.
Praise to all the team and the others that helped on the weekend, You have all touched lives. Thank you for giving of yourselves to enlarge God’s Kingdom.
