Madness Continued...

I'm sorry ladies, I just realized I didn't add this on. This is a sign that several of you are thinking of more requests I bet. That's fine, email me and we'll send out a new letter right away!!

Request #7: One of Sam's karate students, a 14 yr old boy, very suddenly lost his father last Friday to a heart attack. There was no warning. They had gone to Cincinnati for his little sister's gymnastic event. The night before the young man and his Dad had stayed behind here in Louisville to go to the karate test. He passed his test into brown belt (1 before black belt) and then he and Dad drove up to Cincinnati. I was glad when I realized they had the drive alone to talk. Friday morning Dad woke up and went out to buy something at the store. He never came back. They found him in his car later. The 14 yr old was a pall bearer as well as standing up in front of a totally packed chapel and being one of 2 speakers. Very brave. Where do you even start to ask for prayer for this....for the family to look to God and for endurance through this year. 

Thanks again!

March Madness!!

Happy March Madness!!! 

I can't get over that this year is 1/4 over already! We just got the Christmas stuff out didn't we? And now it's time for the Final Four! 

For those of you who aren't in Kentucky, (or who are but don't watch tv, facebook, email, or read...ok just kidding) The University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky -our two biggest local teams- are competing this Saturday night at 6pm for one of 2 places in the final game to see who is the best team in the country. Around here everything is turning Red or Blue!!!!!!!!

We have 6 requests and 2 praises (which of course always come with more requests, don't they?) Thanks for your time!

BTW: Do you know a "Prayer Panther" (as my Aunt loves to call it)? Don't want to be a Panther, how about "Prayer Partner" or "Pretty Prayer," whatever you call her, call her up or fb her or tweet her "@Panther want to pray?" or whatever, and tell her about us! Then pass me her email and I will add her to the list! 

Also don't forget we have a website too! http://iprayerladies.blogspot.com/ Same things you see here, but can't hurt to pass it on!

*Just so you know, I never share this list, and there is only one other person who even has access to this account! I asked Derema early on to be our on-call Emailstress, just in case there is a major need we want to pass along at a time I can't get to the computer! Plus, we never use last names, and depending on the situation, sometimes not even first names!! So you tell your favorite prayer, she is safe with us!

Thanks again, here we go!

Request #1: An unspoken request for a iPrayer lady trying to make a big decision! Please pray that God will take care of the details and she can just follow His will and the weight she feels on her will be lifted.

Request #2: We need prayer for a friend who has suffered a great loss of a very little gift. There will be difficult decisions to make in the next few days. Please keep she and her husband and family on your mind and in your prayers.

These next 3 come to us from an iPrayer lady's Church prayer list! Thanks Robin!!

Request #3: Darrell and Leslie- Their daughter, Anna, is going to have open heart surgery for a valve replacement on Monday, April 2nd.  They would appreciate your prayers.

 

Request #4: Ryan and Jennifer-  Jennifer's sister, Cindy, is pregnant with her third child.  She miscarried her last child at 17 weeks.  Cindy has Factor V disease (a blood clotting disorder) and it causes complications during pregnancy.  Although the pregnancy is going well so far (she is only 11 weeks along) it is still very early.  She is supposed to be taking injections that will help her blood to not clot, however due to the cost we found out she has not started these yet.  We know her blood is clotting and she has small clots in her arms and legs already.  Please pray she will start taking the injections soon as she has family members that have given her the money for the injections.  Pray that her pregnancy goes well and that the Factor V disease does not cause problems.

 

Request #5: Sebastian and Marea: Marea's co-worker lost two young family members this week.  The first was a 17 year old girl, named Brittany, who died in a car accident.  The other was a 15 year old girl (I don't know her name), who committed suicide which they believe was related to a school bullying situation.  Please pray for these two families.

Request #6: Robin's Grandmother has been admitted to the hospital with MRSA and was previously diagnosed with congestive heart failure. 

Praise #1: My beautiful 5 year old daughter apparently has been struggling with her vision for sometime, so through an intricate set of circumstances, I ended up getting her an appointment at the optometrist in preparation for Kindergarten next year, which is not required any longer. They caught the problem!! She is now in little pink (or purple depending on the day) glasses! Thanks to God for sending us to the professionals! Let's pray the glasses stay in one piece and truly help her vision.

Praise #2: An iPrayer lady from our group just found out that her skin cancer is NOT the dangerous kind and this can be easily removed! She will have to have several minor "surgeries" on it over the next months, but still a major praise!

Thanks for your diligence!

Just for fun: (Let the record show I am both a UK and UofLfan. But this is cute...

iPrayer Week of 3/13/12

 Happy St. Patrick's Day!! 

I hope everyone is safe during all this crazy weather! Grace's class has been learning about how March comes in like a Lion and goes out like a Lamb. I think it's been more like a Dragon this year than a Lion!

I have a few requests to share, which means you guys aren't collecting them and sending them to me!! So listen, watch, log-on, see who's in need of our help! :-)

Lets say a prayer together and I will leave you to it!!
Father God, we pray that Your will would be done. Help us to know who to pray for, how to pray, and what we should ask as well. We know that You are in control, all the time, everyday. We know that You Lord can take care of all of these requests without our help, but it shows honor to You for us to come to You in prayer. Thank you so much for the ability to do Your will. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Request #1: My nephew Ian has been in the hospital since Sunday afternoon with yet another asthma attack. The doctor came in a few minutes ago and said he has to stay for another breathing treatment, and if all is well he can go home. (These are every 4 hours, then they have to go through discharge so.....) Please pray that they will get out of there quickly and that his lungs will become healthy. That he will not have anymore need to stay in the hospital. They are being referred to a pediatric pulmonologist.

Request #2: An unspoken request from a sister who needs to make a big decision.

Request #3: Beth- My father isn't doing well at all. He has difficulty remembering things and some days doesn't even know his family. They have even had legal trouble related to this. From Beth's Facebook: Dad's health continues to decline. Praying for him to be pain free & at peace.

Request #4: Emily- Lots of pain with her heart condition added to being fully overwhelmed with trying desperately to complete the 2 online masters degree classes she is enrolled in. She is in week 6 of 10, but in one of the two classes she if very behind in. She cannot withdraw because she is on full scholarship and if she does she will be responsible for the entire cost of the two classes instantly, and still have to pay again to take the class over! She is so very tired though.  Emily is not a believer and although she was a seeker earnestly for awhile, she has nearly given up that God knows she is there, or that He cares. Let's pray that the situation would not feel so hopeless to her and that her comment, "I just can't get well." would not prove to be true. 

Praise/Request #5 (A Secret!!): Two ladies have told me they are expecting!!! One is 24 weeks (how she hid that I'll never know) and the other only about 10. Please pray for super safety for these girls and their babies!

Request #6: Let's not forget the victims of the major outbreak of tornadoes.

Praise! Amanda and Abby have moved into their new house!!
