An 11-year-old girl at our middle school (I work at the elementary school) was killed yesterday in a hit-and-run. I and the whole school community are extremely saddened by the loss of this child and the grief of our kids and her family. I also just found out that she is the older sister of one of my students-- a six-year-old and the sweetest, happiest kid I ever met. I don't know how to support this little one in going through something so much harder than anything I've ever gone through. Please pray for all of us and especially her family. Also pray for the person who hit this child and kept on driving, for whatever is going on in his/her mind and soul that would allow him/her to do this, and for forgiveness from God and her loved ones.

Soror, I can't imagine. Everyone touched by this tragedy will be in my prayers. Also, if you would, please keep my best friend's family in your prayers. Her grandparents' house was broken into and EVERYTHING was taken, and the house is destroyed. Pray that what is not recovered in material possessions, will be restored through comfort and peace of mind. Thanks, ladies. Be blessed!

I sent off my resume for two positions. ONE of them is for me!! I am claiming a job in the name of the Lord!! I need everyone to pray that I get something because I really need a breakthrough!!

And stay prayerful that I pass this bar exam the first time!!! :D

and more prayers
 

Perfected Shalom-

My Dad passed away this week and it really hurts! He and I had planned to do road tripping back home to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia after the rainy season ends in August before my next "adventure" in life....I am a Daddy's Girl and this truly hurts where I can only breath in short gasps. I don't know how my Mom is able to stand (well, yes I do, it's because of Christ, Jesus). I know it goes without asking to have you all pray for me --- so I'll just say "thank you for holding my name up in prayer!"

My prayers go out to those who are grieving and those who are claiming their new job in advance. (I fit both these catagories!) Also the family that had everything stolen from them. May God keep us wrapped in his love. He can bundle me tightly right now! :-)

Prayers sent up to all those who need them!!! May God bring blessings upon you!

I know my little prayer sounds trivial to some but here it is because I know that God listens to all of our concerns:

I pray that the Lord disposes of this upcoming case that I've been dealing with for over a year.

I am also praying for a kind and loving husband as well as a baby. I know it will come in God's time, but I sure hope that God's time is soon since I'm now almost 38 years old.

I pray that for all who are grieving or hurting here who are reading this board that God grant them peace, consolation and healing in their time of need.

I also thank the Lord for all the wonderful blessings He has bestowed thus far.

My mentee and friend of UH Law (Class of 2008) passed away yesterday. She was only 24 years old and was turn 25 the day she finished taking the Texas Bar Exam. I am at a loss for words and very sad. Please pray for her family, her friends, her Sorors (she was a Delta from Univ. of Texas), her law school classmates, and all those she touched with her life. She was a remarkable woman and would have been a great attorney.

^^How unfortunate. ((((unspoken)))).

I work with one of her LS. I'm very saddened by it.

(((Soror D))) I'm so sorry to hear that!

I'm asking everyone to pray for a close friend of mine, Sabrina. She's not at her best right now. Sabrina and I met in 2000, and I don't know what I'd do without her.

Umthandazo (prayers) to you and your close friend. http://www.pledgepark.com/images/smilies/pray.gif If you require more support, please feel free to post here in this safe-free-zone...

Sorors and Sisterfriends---Thank you for your prayers, positive energy and pure-thought-vibes for me during my days of mourning. I know I don't post often; however, I am truly thankful for being able to come to GC when I am down, need encouragement or need a cyberhug and smile.

Thank you Jesus! Today the Lord lead the judge to rule in our favor and the case is now OVER! I know He hears all over prayers!

I'm keeping all those sorors, sisterfriends and sistergreeks who are grieving or caring for sick loved ones in my prayers. May He give you all the strength and comfort that you need.
