Prayer Request:
Karen - Karen is newly pregnant with her fifth child. This past week she was able to see her baby girl for the first time through ultra sound. Please pray that this pregnancy would continue to be successful and to full term. That Karen would find rest and comfort as the months progress.
Mama Karen - We pray for Karen weekly regarding her legs and the condition she has due to a snake bite. Once again, by request, we ask for prayer as she travels home from the Thanksgiving holiday. Please pray for her safe return and peace from pain while traveling. Also, that the Lord would use this situation to bring glory to Him and that there would be a peace that passes understanding with her condition.
Prince Caspian - A beautiful young little boy who struggles with every day activities. Please keep him in your prayers as he learns to live life despite the obstacle of emotional issues his doctors have diagnosed him to have. Please pray for complete healing from these issues. That this little boy would gain new understanding for things, a new form of self control, and a peace with the Lord in his own little spirit. Please pray as he is taught at home for school, that he would learn to focus in his unique way and grow leaps and bounds.
Prince Caspian's Family - Please pray for their patience and understanding. For peace and wisdom. Pray that the Lord would give Prince Caspian's mom a new love and peace for her son. That she would see new ways to help him - also that Prince Caspian's dad would find new ways to support his wife and children whlie becoming a great leader in his home. Also, that there would be peace in the home and rest.
Valerie (me) - I started my new exercise program for my ankle. I have a lot of pain still, but am pushing through hoping that I can build that calf muscle to strengthen my ankle. I am asking for prayer in that I will have determination and faithfulness in exercising while I teach school and deal with every day life in my home.
Carla - The doctors found a shadow on her chest x-ray. She will be having further tests this week, on Thursday. Please pray that everything is clear and that the shadow was due to something outside of health issues. Carla is a caregiver to her mother and sister.
Mary - Her pipes in her home have frozen shut. She is relying on neighbors and bottled water to supply her water needs. Please pray that there would be a solution to her situation and that she would soon be able to use her own water freely without worry.
Lori - She will be having a biopsy soon. Please pray that everything will come back with good healthy results.
Sean (on going) - He is a six year old little boy who was diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymhoma in 2006. His parents are asking for prayer - strength, understanding and healing. Sean's photo and complete story can be accessed on my side bar.
Natalie (on going) - By request, I have been asked to add Natalie to our prayer chain. She is a two year old little girl who was recently diagnosed with Leukemia (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia). She has had two hospital visits, each lasting 8 days. Nat's body is responding well to the treatment, but it is a very long process. Natalie is currently in pain and has difficulty getting any sleep at night. A link to Natalie's complete story is listed on my sidebar. The Biag family thank you for your prayers, concern, love and support as they begin this long journey for Little Natalie's recovery.
