Prayer for the Gulf Coast!
Please be in prayer for those of us in the Gulf Coast states. (I know there are many of us) We continue to prepare as Gustav strengthens.
We are in Louisiana just outside of Baton Rouge and Troy works out of New Orleans. After hurricane Katrina hit, Troy moved to St. Louis for 4 months for work. (not good)
We do not expect to have the same outcome as Katrina but we do not know what to expect. We are praying that Gustav loses strength in the next day or two.
Our biggest concern right now is losing power, as we usually lose it for 3 to 5 days. (not good)
I will try to update as I can. :-)
Please continue to pray for Marsha and her family, today is the funeral for sweet Christian.
You can read updates on Marsha's blog ...

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST!!!
Marsha of Our Homeschool Happenings is missing her 3 year old little boy right now and they are actively searching for him. They live near a wooded area and a pond. Please please pray that they find him. She too has little boys as do I and my heart stopped when I found out her sweet boy was missing. I felt like I would be sick. I can not imagine what our poor Marsha must be feeling as well as her family.
Please pray that they find him safe and well!!!
UPDATE- Divers have ruled out the pond and are searching with Dogs now on land.
UPDATE: It is with a heavy and terribly broken heart I share with you that the divers pulled Marsha's sweet boy "Christian" from the pond behind their home. To write that out is more then I can bare! It hurts to think of the pain Marsha and her family are going through right now.
Please lift Marsha her husband David, their two boys and their families in prayer. Keep them in your prayers in the coming days and weeks.

Earthquakes, Cyclones, Hurricanes, Tornados...
Have you all noticed that the destruction from natural disasters has been unbelievably out of control in the past few years? I think people are becoming desensitized to these horrible events because they are happening so frequently. Please don't forget to keep these people in your prayers, including here at home (USA) where tornadoes have ripped threw so many communities including ours here in Louisiana.
Not to mention the thousands left homeless and in need of food and water! I cant seem to wrap these numbers around my head! I was in Hurricane Andrew in Florida and it was devastating to say the least, I was also in hurricane Katrina here in Louisiana , and Troy lost his job and income over night. We knew then how very blessed we were just to be alive, to have a home and our family, no income was no problem as we knew the Lord would provide.
What has transpired in these two country's and over the past decade around the world is frightening! Not frightening as in I am scared, God has not given us the spirit of fear, disheartening is a better word as I just hurt to see so many people suffering. My heart just breaks to see so many scrambling to find loved ones, a mother searching in rubble for her 6 year old boy. My heart physically hurts for them.
I am not writing this for us to get into a debate as to "why and how" this is happening to the world around us but more so for us to pray. I am sure many of you are already praying for these people in such turmoil. They have lost everything , pray that they would come to know the Lord (if they don't already), that their hearts may be comforted in him alone.
Dear sisters let us pray! Let us keep these people in our thoughts and prayers and where we can give , let us give! We as mothers have such a heart for those in need, for children, it is in our nature to nurture and want to "fix" those that are broken. We can not change what has transpired but we sure can storm heavens gates on their behalf.
