iPrayer Aug 22 Some Urgent

August 22, 2012 To the Prayer Princesses... Dear iPrayerLady, Thanks for your continued willingness to take a second and pray! Remember, don't feel guilty when you don't have time! Skip it and move on! Or say a "Lord You know these needs, please Let Your Will be done." and go on with your day.  But, when you have time, just think of the impact a couple minutes of prayer, multiplied by the number of us there are, could have! Thanks!! Requests:  Request #1: Please pray for our friend who doesn't want to share but does want your prayers on her behalf! She is having the wretched procedure today!! Courage and Peace! (And good news from the doctor too!) Request #2: Courtney's Mom is starting her Chemo. Ugg. Let's pray it is very successful and not anywhere near as bad as she fears. Request #3: Mr. Baker, the father of a co-worker, is suddenly having lots of heath issues that they cannot figure out. He is sleeping all the time, coughing, and now they are saying there is a spot on his lungs. He has to be taken as soon (let's pray soon!) as the doctor can get him in for an MRI. He is 81, and has a history of multiple heart bypasses. Request #4: The father in law of Barbara's daughter is being treated for lung cancer. Let's remember him as he goes through all that is involved in treating him. They did surgery already and he is recovering slowly. Request #5: The image above reminds me of a request for Financial Security. Many families in our circle (and everywhere) are in real need of a little padding in those accounts! School is back in session and the bills start rolling in! Pray for the Lord's provision for us all and that we will remember to Trust Him. He has a real plan for all of us individually, we just have to accept it, and be patient!! Request #6: The 17 year old who recently had the little boy a month ago has been fighting a bug, (temp of 101.3 a few days ago!) starting back to school, and finding out that her "friends" have moved on with their lives.  ~ Or perhaps, she has moved on with hers. :-)  ~ I want to be sure we all remember her as she attempts to finish high school without sleep, time to do homework, and now without the compassion of the friends she had before this all began. Plus, I can remember not knowing what to do in the middle of the night when I had a fever, a newborn, and felt so bad I couldn't think straight. I was 27, not 17. I can't imagine the pressure she is under. Urgent: This Came In As I Was Sending!! LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A young boy is being treated for burns after he pulled a pan containing hot oil off a stove. Emergency crews were called to a home in the 3300 block of Garland Avenue near the intersection with Louis Coleman Jr. Drive around 11:20 a.m. According to a Louisville Metro Police officer at the scene, when the boy, age 1, grabbed the pan, the hot oil spilled on the right side of his face and body. The child was taken to Kosair Children's Hospital for treatment of burns believed to be second degree. Just A Note for Fun I wanted to share a little story in case it makes your day better too. We had such fun last night in our Wednesday Night Bible Study. We meet every week at 7pm and talk about all kinds of topics, and whoever shows up is our group for the night.  So, last night Derema wanted very much to come, as her husband Don is teaching us all what he has learned on Isaiah from Seminary. But, sadly she got stuck working all day down in Bowling Green, KY, which is at least 2 hours away.  Then, Don and Derema had the idea of getting her on speaker phone while she drove home! So, sure enough, we got connected (after several wrong numbers and mix-ups...) and she was able to plug the phone into the car stereo and listen in the whole way home!! She even picked up to ask questions or answer a few times. The best part was right in the middle of some question I was asking, here she came walking in!! She made it all the way home and sat down to enjoy one of Patty's coconut brownies and be apart of prayer requests. Love Technology....Like this!!!  Imagine Moses posting the 10 Commandments to his blog...and the comments that would have followed... :-) The Digital Prayer Group Need Prayer? Want to Pray?

Encouragement to Go, Go, Go!

I get this newsletter on my email!! I Just Love Liz Curtis Higgs and wanted to share her joy and excitement with all of you!! 

If you're having trouble viewing this email, you may see it online.

Bless you, dear friend, for inviting me to keep in touch!    With autumn drawing near I'm on the road again, thrilled to be heading in your direction. From Iowa to Indiana, Minnesota to Missouri, look for your Lizzie at Women of Faith, at Among Friends with Kathy Troccoli, at the free Faithlife Women conference in Dallas, and many other venues. For details, take a peek at my latest calendar.    If my messages from God's Word, wrapped in joy, might be a good fit for your next women's ministry event, Bill Higgs would be delighted to chat with you! Simply click here to begin the conversation.    And if you've always wanted to tour bonny Scotland, we have room for a few more travelers for A Victorian Christmas in Scotland this December 2-9 (our late November tour sold out in just six days). It's going to be once-in-a-lifetime amazing. Come with us, lass! Guess what this girl's got for you    Many women who traveled with me to Israel last fall brought home jewelry featuring three Jewish and Christian symbols forged into a single design that goes back to the second century and is commonly called "Grafted In."    The name comes from a message Paul gave the young church in Rome, reminding the Gentiles, "you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root."    Those of us not counted among the descendants of Jacob have been grafted in, such that we too are called "a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God." Breathtaking to consider, isn't it?    Here's more happy news: I brought home four of these beautiful sterling silver necklaces from Israel to share with you! Identify the chapter and verse of the two New Testament passages I've quoted above, then click here to enter the contest. On October 1st I'll choose four winners at random from all the correct entries received. Can't wait to see you wearing this beautiful, meaningful necklace! Three fun ways to take a walk with Ruth   1. On DVD: Two dozen girlfriends gathered in Nashville to tape our video Bible study for The Girl's Still Got It. What a great group! The DVD is two hours long, divided into twelve segments, one for each chapter of the book. Simply let it roll, and I'll teach you the story of Ruth, or you can play a segment each time you meet with friends to study God's Word. Here's our free Bible study how-to guide for The Girl's Still Got It.    2. Online: This Wednesday, August 22nd grab a cuppa and join me online at 12noon EDT for an entertaining Livestream Event! I'll be streaming via webcam from my writing study, sharing some fun insider stories about my new book, The Girl's Still Got It, offering a few heartfelt words of hope and encouragement, and answering your questions. It's free, it's fun, and it's easy to listen in.    3. On my blog: September 5th I'll be kicking off my new Bible Study Blog. Whee! Every Wednesday this autumn I'll be walking through The Girl's Still Got It with you, one chapter each week. I'll offer my answers to some of the Study Guide questions, and hope you'll jump in as well.    For busy girls like us, this i s a Bible study that works—at home or on the road, at your computer or on your smartphone. Read the chapter when you can, check the blog when you like, and share your thoughts when you're ready. Just sign up for my blog and we'll start rocking! And speaking of rocking...    You gotta check out my Righteous Ruth Rap on YouTube. It's the whole book of Ruth in four minutes. Has the girl still got it? I'll let you be the judge of that!    We videotaped the rap in Little Rock, Arkansas, surprising the audience when I launched into it at the start of the final session. They surprised me in turn: when I started rapping, they started clapping, meaning I had to keep up with the beat. Oh baby! Way too fun.     You'll find the lyrics to my rap in the back pages of The Girl's Still Got It. Haven't picked up a copy yet? Look for it on the shelves of your favorite Christian bookstore or order it from Amazon, ChristianBook, or Barnes & Noble.    Of the 30 books I've written, this truly is my favorite. Publishers Weekly kindly called it, "A perfect blend of humor, extensive research, descriptive language, and insightful commentary."    What I really want to know is what you think. Share your thoughts with me on Facebook or Twitter, or post your comments on one of the bookseller websites above. You are the reason I run to my desk each morning, beloved. Your feedback truly matters.    Until we connect again, here's a heartfelt hug from your Lizzie in Louisville!  "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope."

iPrayer Back to School

iPrayer Ladies Back to School Time  8/15/12 Thanks for reading our Back to School Issue of iPrayer Ladies! As you go into the Fall and on into the Holidays, we hope you will keep your ears, eyes, and emails open for people around you who are in need of specific prayer requests! For that matter, people who need general prayer! (Who doesn't?) As always, if these emails come to frequently, feel free to drop me a line and say, "put me on the once a week (or month) version please!" or if this has become a time in your life where your inbox is busier than your time allows, tell me and we will take you off the list for awhile! Share Share Share these requests with the Ladies in your life!    Request #1: Patty- Having eye surgery this morning! "They are removing a pterygium (sun burn on my eye / growth) and then graphing from my upper eye ball to cover it, then graphing skin from my upper eye lid to create a wall in the corner of my eye (you won't see it) so that it acts as a barrier so that it can't grow back. Any who.. if you could say a prayer for me.. I'm just a little nervous about going under and then there is the concern of my eye being cut on..." Request #2: One of the ladies in our group asked for prayer regarding an upcoming appeal of a court decision. She and her husband were slammed by the courts last year. A medical malpractice suit, which everyone involved, and even news reports (some of which had picked up the story from around the world,) agreed that this was an open and shut case in favor of her husband, the patient. But, not only did the courts side with the doctor, they did not even give her family a penny to help with their extensive court and legal costs. Everyone was shocked.    The appeal court date is Sept. 11, and it is desperately urgent that the courts reverse this decision. It was a significant risk financially, emotionally, (and for their dignity) to go through with the trial after all they had endured, but they did so with the assurance that it was "the right thing to do". To then also be denied help, was shocking.   Request #3: Back to School means back to stress for our kiddos. (And parents!) Let's pray for a sense of peace and organization for the kids. The kids and parents need to start off on a good foot with teachers, administration, and classmates. Let's pray for safety for them all, big and little, as they go to and from school this year. Let's pray for focus, fun, and learning. And let's not forget to pray for the adults involved all around.    School Jokes: ~My son, Mitchell, a kindergartener, practices spelling with magnetic letters on the refrigerator: "cat," "dog," "dad," and "mom" have been proudly displayed for all to see. One morning while getting ready for the day, Mitchell bounded into the room with his arms outstretched. In his hands were three magnetic letters: G-O-D. "Look what I spelled, Mom!" Mitch exclaimed, a proud smile on his face. "That's wonderful!" I said. "Now go put them on the fridge so Dad can see when he gets home tonight." That Christian education is certainly having an impact, I thought, happily. Just then, a little voice called from the kitchen. "Mom? How do you spell 'zilla?'"   ~One morning a mother was trying to wake up her son. "Wake up now! It's time to go to school." "I don't want to go to school," the son replied. His mother said, "Give me two reasons why you don't want to go to school." "Okay. One, all the children hate me. Two, all the teachers hate me." "Not good enough," the mother replied. "Fine," the son said. "Then you give me two good reasons why I SHOULD go to school." "One, you're 50 years old. Two, you're the principal of the school."   ~The new family in the neighborhood overslept and their six-year-old daughter missed her school bus. The father, though late for work himself, had to drive her. Since he did not know the way, he said that she would have to direct him to the school. They rode several blocks before she told him to turn the first time, several more before she indicated another turn. This went on for 20 minutes - but when they finally reached the school, it proved to be only a short distance from their home. The father, much annoyed, asked his daughter why she'd led him around in such a circle. The child explained, "That's the way the school bus goes, Daddy. It's the only way I know." iprayer Ladies Group The Digital Prayer Group www.iprayerladies.blogspot.com iprayerlady@doowop.com "Rejoice always! Pray constantly. Give thanks in everything, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."   1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (HCSB)

Unspoken And Urgent

Three frustrating requests:

All of these people need urgent prayer, two do not want to share their situations, one is too involved right now to ask. Thus frustrating! How to ask without asking!!

So...

Request #1: For great news from a doctor.

Request #2: Fast healing and willingness to be still and rest!

Request #3: Terrible news someone is having to share and comfort for everyone involved.

Out of respect for privacy I cannot share anymore. Yes, even to you! So don't message me "ooh ooh tell me!" Cause I can't. ;-)

All kidding aside let's stop whatever we are doing and pray for God's Will in all three of these situations right now.

Thanks

Arrival in Atlanta

They finally arrived safely in their hotel in Atlanta at 10:30pm. They missed the first night of Forward but were there ready to go for tomorrow!!!

Back on Track!!! They have just now gotten on the new bus, 5 hours later!!! Forward started at 6pm and they are 3 hours away still, but moving again at least! Thanks for the prayers!!

Long wait at the BP So the Chatanooga bus didn't workout and the bus company is sending a bus from HERE!! They are mostly in the bus which still has air conditioning whereas the BP Gas Station does not!! :-( More when I have news. btw- very sorry to those of you who are not from Forestpark, but this is the easiest way to pass these on!

Bus on the way Charter bus is on the way from Chatanooga to pick up the youth group! Should be there in around an hour.

Broken Bus!

Please pray for the Teens on the Forward trip. Everyone is fine but the bus broke down from over heating!! They are all ok and in East TN on I24, Shelbyville TN. It cooled enough to drive to a a station and they are waiting to see if a bus from Chattanooga can finish the trip for them! I will send an update when I have it. They all probably think it's great...camp songs and charades time! In all honesty though, it's pretty hot out there!

Welcome FPCC Ladies! LOTS of Updates!!

I want to welcome the ladies of Forestpark Church who are just signing on for the first time! A little mini-advertisement went out with the church e-newsletter this week about our group! There was even a link and a brief excerpt of me rambling about losing my computer...gee how spiritual...anyway... :-) We are really glad you are here!!


If you want to join our email list send me a note to: iprayerlady@doowop.com, or click on our link over at the side here. :-) I send them fairly randomly, sorry, but sometimes I get super busy and don't have time to send them, then other times we have 10-12 requests back to back! I will say, any urgent requests, and many updates never reach this website, they only go out to the mailing list.


Any ladies, anywhere can get on the mailing list, and don't worry we are really careful about not using last names, and sometimes not even first names!!


Update #1: My kids both finished swimming class smiling believe it or not! Of course that might be because they knew it was finally over....


Update #2: My friend's custody hearing is over, and everyone is just waiting now to hear from the judge on Monday....praying for peace for the families, and mercy + wisdom from the courts!


Update #3: Denise's hernia surgery went well. We need to pray for a very quick recovery (this is her 8th surgery for hernias!) and that this will be her last one!


Update #4: Angela's procedure went well she said, but now they have scheduled another test down the road. Ugg.


Update #5: My co-worker who was in the car accident is back to work today, and there were a few things that got cleared up about the story, but none that really made it any better! It was his left side that was hit, and although the majority of the skin was not actually removed as I had at first heard, it was cut in a crescent shape from the top middle of his forehead down, following his nose and under his eye, and the eye is totally swollen shut. But they think he will recover well. He said they brought a plastic surgeon in to do the face work. The actual truck that hit his car is what hit his face! It went through his window and physically hit him. They said he also had blunt-force trauma from that. There were 2 other friends in the car as well, they both sound like they are ok. The one guy who was in the front thought that my co-worker had died when he saw him, and began panicking. We should lift him up as well, what an awful thing to endure!! Whew. Amazing they are alive, much less up and walking!!


Request & Praise: A 14 year old daughter, of a co-worker of one of our ladies, left a note to her parents today that she "needed to get away for awhile" and that she was "staying with a friend" and "would be safe." She had run away! They went into a frantic search calling in internet police, friends, family, etc, trying to decide if she had possibly run out of town to meet someone she met online recently. The Praise is that she was found VERY Quickly, and hadn't gotten out of town yet. The Request is that she is clearly in need of some help from several sides. :-(


That's it for now!!


Send me things you want prayer for, people you hear from that need prayer, or events etc. 


We try to stick to actual people or situations we have some personal contact with just to save space here and not get overwhelmed! But obviously many times it is the "cousin of the sister of my friend" or something, God cares about them too! We usually don't share stuff like: "some lady I heard about on tv in Cleveland." However, if you really have a feeling that the Lord is calling you to pray for her, then by all means! Send her on and we will all help!! :-)


Great to see our circle expanding ladies!!! Keep sharing with your friends and as always, keep on praying!!

iPrayer 6/5/12

Summer is here, but it's not hot in Louisville! Cold enough I had to switch to a sweater just to sit outside today with the kids! Well, I suppose technically it's still Spring for another couple of weeks....

I have to admit that one prayer has already been answered before we even start! Otherwise you would not be receiving this email! I've needed to write to you all for more than a week, but....

I had looked EVERYWHERE (I thought) for my mini-laptop! It is the only computer I use at home! Anyway, having totally given up looking for the computer, I asked Sam if I could borrow his later. Just then, I glanced down beside the couch and realized that I could see the edge of the case for the computer. It was under a little plastic briefcase. I picked up the briefcase and underneath was the computer case. But it was empty! Then I saw the charger, still plugged in, but attached to nothing! I showed Sam and was amazed. Suddenly I looked again at that dumb briefcase...why was is so heavy? Sure enough, I opened it up and there was the tiny laptop, stashed inside by...Grace? I don't know, but needless to say, I was both annoyed and thrilled. Ah well...joys of kids!

Two of these requests are for tomorrow, so one way or the other I had to email this out!!

By the way, just a housekeeping thing, I am going to try to send you all a test email soon from a service called Constant Contact, which will make these look much cooler, but more importantly, it should make it so I can zip out an email to everyone at the same time from anywhere, even my phone! We will see! You may have to click on "allow images from this person" or something to really get it to work.... 


Not on our email list? Send me a note to: iprayerlady@doowop.com and I will add you to the mailing list, then you too can be one of the first to know when prayer is needed! Many times urgent requests and updates are only shared to the mailing list!

Let's start with a prayer, feel free to read it (or skip it) and then say your own, you don't need my help! Anyone who has seen the amazing results of God's work through your diligent (and sometimes hurried :-) ) prayer can tell you these ladies are Prayer Warriors!!!

Lord God, I just want to lift up these ladies to You tonight. You are the only One who knows when each person will open this site, which one will be close it without really reading, which will be read and forgotten, and which will be prayed over repeatedly. But we pray together Lord, with one purpose and with one heart over time and space, to You, the One True God. We love You and ask that Your Holy Spirit would guide us and help us to know what to pray and remind us to lift up these requests again when it is time. Thank You for allowing us to be used in this amazing way. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.

Request #1: My friend who we have so many times prayed for, who has been slammed this year with a divorce, his wife's remarriage, announcement that she is pregnant again from this person, and then her decision that she is taking the kids and moving far away, has his big court hearing tomorrow, Wednesday June 6th. His lawyer has given him little hope that the courts will side with him. To the outside observer it appears that she is the one who has a "stable" home life. The truth, that he had to sell their home when she moved out, that she left him, etc etc, will likely not be recognized. All their "friends" who might speak for him, were really her friends. All the kids' teachers worked with her. But yet, in all this, he does not give up. Planning today to go get a haircut etc. I promised we would pray. He does not know God, but God knows him, and his heart, and these 3 sweet kids.

Request #2: Tomorrow a close friend of Derema's, Denise, is having a hernia repair. This is another of SEVERAL repairs and it is so frustrating for her family. Let's pray that this is fixed once and for all, and that she will have a very fast recovery. Also for her teenage daughter and husband.

Request #3: A coworker was in a car accident yesterday which (if you are weak stomached skip this part) literally peeled back a corner of his face on the right side!! He had lots of stitches, and they say the eye will be fine, which I'm told is shocking to believe if you look at him. More amazingly, he plans to work tomorrow!

Request #4: Shannon, who we have prayed for before on this, finally found out some info from her tests about the stomach pain she has been having! Here is her report to us: (I asked if I could share her email and she said "share away!" 

"I have three ulcers in my stomach, some kind of infection in my colon (suppose to take major antibiotics for it) and have been diagnosed with Barret's esophagus... No dysplasia at this point, but have to get scoped in 6 months to see how things are going."

Request #5: Also from Shannon's email: "As for my dad, he is monitoring the cancer every three months right now. No surgery or radiation at this point."

Request #6: My Thirty-One lady, Angela asked for prayer as well. Here is her email:

"I am having a procedure tomorrow. It's just my stomach. Remember, they thought that I had cancer but after the CT and biopsy we have found that it isn't! THANK GOD! So now I am undergoing MANY procedures to find out WHAT it is. Please keep me in your prayers as I am very nervous about being put under. Ugh."

Request #7: Ok, make fun, but I have to ask for this: Thomas and Grace are in swim lessons for 30 minutes each day this week. She is at 9am and he is at 9:40. But so far, Grace has had one lesson yesterday (we managed to oversleep today) in which she spent half the time refusing to get in, and Thomas has had 2. Today he was so frightened that he was practically having a panic attack in the water! I really really want them to be able to at least tread water and not become hysterical, because they are both old enough to be in a situation where they may need to know! I just hate making them do this when they are so totally terrified! Tonight at dinner Thomas kind of absent mindedly said "I don't really like swimming lessons. Oh, I already said that like a million times. Sorry." And he laughed nervously. I told him it was alright, it was because it is on his mind that he doesn't want to go tomorrow. :-(

Request #8: Our Vacation Bible School starts 2 weeks from yesterday and I'm still thinking of things I have to do to get ready (I'm the director this year) so I would LOVE if you took a half second to pray that all the planning, volunteering, decorating, praying etc would get done according to God's will. :-)

Request #9: I got this email from Ellen-

"Found out yesterday that mom has dementia.  She is on medication for it and doing pretty good most of the time.  At night she gets lost around the house. Can't find her bedroom etc.  Occasionally, at night she doesn't know me....  Most always thinks there are other people in the house that could help get her up when she falls.  She fell twice yesterday, at 1:30 am and again at 10:30 am....Last night she ask me if I turned her tv off because there was no picture on it.  Her tv was on and had a picture.  She was looking at the oven on her kitchen stove!  Her nurse left me a booklet to read so I'll know how to help her. Keep us in your prayers."

I'm sure there are many more. I will send updates as I get them. Thanks for your patience, this was a really long one.

Two brief requests: ( I know, no soliciting....)

1) A New Hope Pregnancy Resource Center (Bullitt Co)

We're still in need of DIAPERS size 4, 5, 6 only. Several of our clients have also asked for baby 

laundry detergent and we have NONE! Thanks!

and

2) On Sunday April 30th 2012, Leo Irizarry was tragically taken from us. As a 2 year old, mildly autistic toddler, Leo had a very giving and lovable nature. He always wore a smile and loved to watch musicals and played the piano.The grieving family has a financial burden of $4,000 in funeral costs and is raising money to pay back the loan. Any gift you can give is needed and greatly appreciated. Any excess of the $4,000, will be donated to the Autism Society in 

Leonardo’s name. Donations may also be given at any Louisville Fifth-Third Bank. Just mention Leo’s name.

Feel free to print it, or pass it, or pray for it! :-)

Send me any more you think of or hear.
