• Tuesday, September 12, 2006 - Prayer Requests, Updates, and Praises...
Here are some prayer requests, updates & praises that have been brought to my attention. Please feel free to email me, or leave a comment for any prayer requests (or praises) that you know of as well!
New Requests:
Pray for Rebeca here at HSB. She had miscarried in the womb, and now the baby has left her body. Keep her recovery physically and emotionally in your prayers.
Many of you know, or have been to, the Choosing Home website, blog, or forum (and if not, you should check them out!). Molly had surgery and is still sore. Please keep her in prayer for a speedy recovery!
Sylvia has asked for prayer. She has one child and would LOVE to have more. It's hard to read about big families as she has such a strong desire to have more. Please pray for peace in her heart at whatever the Lord's decision is for her.
Maria has asked for prayers as she is going through many changes in her life and having lots of decisions to make.
sherrydhoneycutt has written to me about an urgent request for a fellow homeschool blogger, maehsweet. She emailed me the following:
Everybody, please if you get this message please get to the Lord right away and intercede on Mary's behalf. Apparently she had a real nice visit with her sister over the weekend and coming home went and visited her Gram. Somebody found her passed out, she either fell or fainted and bumped her head. She has amnesia. She doesn't know who anyone is or how old she is or anything. I feel very helpless. I know God is watching out for her. But her family has been struggling financially, physically, spriritually for a quite awhile and now this. Is there no relief in sight for them?
Updates & Continued Prayers:
kidsus8 has asked for prayer for two of her children recently diagnosed with Ushers Syndrome Type 1. This is an incurable disease where our deaf children will become legally blind before they are 20 years old.
Crystal posted a request on her blog for a single mom with Churg-Strauss Syndrome, which causes devastating injury to the organ systems. Because of this insidious disease, she is unable to work.
Suzanne has posted a prayer list for those who are serving in the military. Stop by her blog to pray, as well as add anyone you know to the list.
daybydaygrace had a request for a young man from their church who had come up missing in the Navy. The Navy contacted the family and they have found Eric's body. It seems as if he wrecked his motor-cycle and went off the road into the woods just far enough in to the edge of the woods not visible to the eye. Therefore no one could see him and the Navy has been searching the roads this whole time and this is the tragic news we received. The family, as well as the church family is very disturbed. They still desire everyone's prayers.
Susan, a fellow homeschool blogger, is pregnant and her baby has Potter's Syndrome, which means the baby will survive shortly after birth. There is a prayer chain where you can commit to a specific time slot for her and her family. Please pray for them during this difficult time.
Continue to lift the Vanderclan family in your prayers at the loss of their baby. She wrote a heart-wrenching story on her blog as well.
Continue to keep Emily in prayer. Check out her mom's blog for more updates on Emily's cancer treatment.
Continue to keep hallfamily8's daughter, Susanna, in prayer. She has neurofibromatosis, a neurological tumor disorder.
Christi has been fighting cancer for years. Recently, she has been in a horrible amount of pain. Please send encouragement and prayers their way, as well as read updates on her blog.
Continue to pray for strength and wisdom for Tom (Missey's husband) as well as their children at the time of this deep loss. You can read more about Missey's time with us at HSB on her blog, Heart Schooling. (If anyone knows any information on how things are going for them, please let me know so I can share.)
Continue to keep our family in prayer with many things going on right now, including our home for sale. Please pray for us to have a clear direction to what the Lord wants us to do in all decisions needing to be made, as well as protection from the enemy seeking to bring discouragement and doubt in my mind.
Carol's son, warnoman, is back home!!!! Please continue to pray for the Lord's will to be done in his life as well as their family as they are experiencing many changes recently.
Thanks so much for praying! In Him, Amy
(I'm continually adding people who would like to be a part of "Sisters & Brothers in Christ". Please read about it for more information and sign up if you're interested. I will also be posting updates and requests that you can click on at the top of my blog's sidebar to read the most recent prayer requests and updates.)
I would appreciate prayer through the next couple of weeks. Our baby boy is due in 2 weeks, and the contractions have started...yea! The midwives checked me today, and I am 2.5cm dialated, so it could be any time now. We are also supposed to move on Sept. 1st, so it will be an interesting time!
Hello Amy,
Thanks for stopping by my blog to ask how I am doing...
I'm doing... lhgljajdaglkj. I'm due today (16th). I've been having cramps and tightness, but nothing to time or to put me into active labor yet. *sigh* I'm so ready though.
Update: Her mother left this earth and is with the Lord

She has also lost another family member, an uncle I believe. Let's keep them in our prayers.
A fellow blogger is going through a crisis right now and has called all prayer warriors to pray for her and her family. Please help, the link is : http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/MrsIncredible/188746
She's a dear friend to me and I know I'm not on your Sisters and Brothers list but please pray for her and rally the troops!
I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog during my husband's recovery. I'm happy to say that he's back to work and continuing to heal. It's been a big shock to our family but we're learning to eat much better and lead a healthier lifestyle.
and a woman seeking the Lord's Will (daily), a wife (striving to keep the romance alive), a "Smamma" (Step- mother) of one and a homeschooling mom of seven (I was never going to have children), who starts every day over (after messing SOME thing up the day before), knowing God's grace is overflowing (just like my laundry), and so thankful He's blessed me more than I'll ever deserve.
