The Prayer List

[joanrae]

It has been a while since I posted here, I went to the Dr on Tuesday about my shoulder, apparently I really injured the tendons on my right rotator cuff, and the exercises I have been doing have not been enough, She gave me a steroid shot, and it is feeling better today, still have to exercise it more times a day and put ice on it. Thanks for all the prayers.

Dad called last night, Mom is back in the hospital with same symptoms as before. Basically, blanking out. Lasts about 30 minutes or so. Luckily she has been sitting each time, so she hasn't fallen. She had 3 more episodes at home over the last week, and yesterday Dad decided enuff was enuff and insisted her MD put her back in hospital. GO Dad!! Now they are thinking some sort of seizure activity and are doing tests for that. Neurologist is apparently convinced that is what it is. Pray for Mom and Dad please and that the MD's will make the correct diagnosis.
Ann, glad to hear you are doing better! Don't push yourself to fast though.
Margarita and Happy, hope those arms and shoulders get better soon.
Thanks for all your prayers and I continue to pray for all here and your family and friends. Sandi in FL

Hello everyone, I have just read through January prayer requests to get caught up. I apologize for not appearing in this thread for some time, but I am thankful for the faithful prayer warriors here! And I will lift up my prayers on your behalf, as well, particularly all the health needs that are listed. I've been working sporadically as a substitute teacher in the local school district; DH completed one home repair job that will help see us through January. Yes Ann, God is Good, All the Time, God is Good. Some other interesting things have occurred during the last month, showing God supplies all our needs. (1) We received a large box of fresh fruit from Florida, which is the annual Christmas gift from a man for which my husband did a lot of carpentry work. (2) DH's brother came for a week's visit (he's also unemployed, looking for work and looking for a warmer climate than Wisconsin), and brought a large bag of frozen meat - he previously had a farm on which they produced organic foods; (3) We are unexpectedly paid a month in advance on our car loan; (4) We do not owe on our Wisconsin phone, for the same reason; (5) I paid in sufficiently for our Federal Quarterly Estimated Tax (you self-employed people know what I'm talking about), so I sent in a nominal amount yesterday, to close out 2008; we paid for our propane (our source of heat besides a wood stove) in advance. My whole point in sharing all this is that we know God will take care of us, and sometimes it's not as we expected! (like a 40-hr work week at a stable job!) I hope this encourages those of you who are presently unemployed or have family or friends in that situation.

Ouchy on the darn shots, I hope the shots help your elbow/shoulder feel much better. Remember to alternate the ice packs/heat when needed. Its tough I know this pain at times/my darn hips,its really bad when your last result is getting a shot to help ease the pains,I really feel for you. Hope those pains ease up and goes away soon.

Sorry to hear about your Mom,I hope Dr. figure out a diagnoses soon and gets her treated so she will feel better soon. Could she maybe low on calcium,I've heard this causing symptoms such as your Mom. I pray there is nothing serious wrong.


My thoughts and Prayers go out to each and everyone.
God Bless,Love & Hugzzz,Kathy

I just spent a little time reading the posts in this prayer group tonight for the first time. It has truly encouraged me, and brings tears to my eyes to see your faith and read your stories. "Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2 I think that is what prayer for each other is all about. Thanks to God and to all of you for asking for prayer and offering good reports. This was really moving to read these messages. God keep you and bless you each one.

welcome to the group Lois! It's always great to have another prayer warrior!

Please pray for my friend Sr Jane who lost her brother last night. She herself has not been well and I hope she can stay strong through this.

Have a great day everyone

I put in a praise because our friend didn't need open heart surgery but he is still having some problems. Sometimes our plumbing just doesn't want to work after surgery of any kind and that is what is happening and there is blood in the urine (not a good picture) He is coping well but we all want him better. I have a great Harley in my garage but I would be much happier if Howard could be here and riding it. so send up your prayers for Howard so that he can get over these side effects and get back down here and be the Harley Dude that we all love. Thanks, Ann

[joanrae]

You got it, Ann. And how are you doing?

Well, I was laid off today.... and I think in many ways, my prayers were answered. I am mostly happy, as I wasn't having fun any more in the job that I was in (I think I have been giving Dana, Bridget and Ann an ear full on a regular basis about my not enjoying the job any more)..... so this is a great opportunity to move on to the next adventure!

I have started a short list of things to do with the spare time, including cleaning out my closet and my undies drawer, working on the Bella, taking some classes at my LQS, and decompressing!!! : 8) :lol: :evil: 8) :evil: :lol: And I also think that this will be a great opportunity to walk in Faith... not just talk about it!

Thanks to all of you for your prayer support! I could feel it the past 10 days and really appreciate your thoughts and kindness!

Fortunately, I have a little time before I have to be back in a job! I think the time will do me good!!!

Any my DH told me today, that I still MUST attend the LaVeta Quilt retreat that I am signed up for this summer! YEAH!

God is good!

Mary Kay, I hope you are truly able to enjoy this down time and do some of the things you really want to do. I understand about walking in faith - I think a lot of us are doing that right now. Hope you have more time to spend with us here, too
