Prayer Requests January 20, 2009

This is a new section for my blog where you are welcome to leave requests for prayer and it doesn't have to be big things. The more we stand together, the stronger we are. Feel free to add your favorite scriptures. There are so many times that we feel like we are alone and that there is no one else who cares, even when we are surrounded by friends and family, so this is a place where you can come, leave your prayer requests and pray for others. We can even add dates later when the prayer was answered. I have been doing this on my own with a handwritten list that I keep in a drawer in the bathroom. I read over it, pray over it, and add dates for when the Lord answers a prayer. It helps me remember that He does answer prayer, but on his time schedule and not mine, i.e. He is never early nor ever late, but right on time. :) By seeing the start of a prayer and the completion of a prayer, it brings me comfort in knowing He heard me and when it takes a long time for a prayer to be answered, then I can realize by seeing it in print that He had a reason for not answering a prayer when I thought He should. :-)

  1. Hi guys, I post the prayer request invite a couple days ago and then, today, I find out my tumor has not only not shrunk, but it may have started growing. Now, we have a week to wait for the bloodwork to show whether the tumor is benign. I had 4 surgeries in 11 months, I don't really want to make it 5 surgeries in 13 months......So, if you got this far into my blog, then would you please pray for me. Funny, I posted the prayer blog so other folks could request prayers....

  2. Mignon, I am so sorry to hear about your tumor. I am praying that the news will be that it is benign, and will not require surgery - that it will shrink! I know this past year must have been terribly difficult. I will pray that the coming year will be much much better!

  3. Thank you. I added the moderator option because the Castteam on Etsy that I am a member of was spammed porn type stuff and I would rather make sure that something inappropriate doesn't end up happening and then offending someone who had been following the blog as I can very easily delete before it hits the blog. I keep wanting to just camp out by the mailbox, but at the same time I keep pushing it out of my mind. I will be ok.

  5. Not yet. I've called too, so at this point, I'm going with no news is good news, but thank you, I get so preoccupied and my mind still isn't normal yet, so I just flat forget many things. I'll try calling again.
