Asking for your prayers....

Please pray for my family and the members of my grandparents' church. A fire destroyed the church last night. I know that a church is its members, not the building, but I do ask to pray for them to give them strength during the next few months as they work on rebuilding the church. Thanks and I will pray for you all.

May the Lord be with those church and family members as they rebuild. May God bless you and your family.

I have one more request.

I am about to make a decision in my life that some people in my family may not like. I really want to do it and this move will help me move forward in my career and give me the opportunity to continue my education in the field I want to pratice. Please pray that I can have the strength that everything will work out for the best and that I am making the right decision. Thanks and I will continue to pray for you.

I'm moving by myself for the first time, and I am scared of the following things: bills not being paid on time, being broke, losing my job, and being lonely. Yall pray for me. I've always had a roommate.

Hey All

My boyfriend left last week for London where he will be working for at least the next five weeks. Please pray for me. I'm lonely. Also, please pray for his safe return and our happy reunion.

May God place within you the spirit of completeness and fulfillment. May He allow you to know that with Him failure does not exist! I felt the same way when my husband and I stepped out of my parents house with only me working a full-time job and I am hear to tell you that the devil is a liar, we have never had a bill unpaid or utility turned off. God has always provided. We went through unemployment twice and without a bill unpaid. Hallelujah. Praises be to God. Girl step out on faith and God will do the rest.

Amen.

All happened and/or happening to me right now. I'm soooo sad. Mastercard people keep calling me every other day asking me for more money. I'm basically a broke grad school student working 20 hrs/wk. My bills severly outdue my monthly income. I'm about to not pay a lot of them in October, it's just so sad

But I know for sure I'm paying my electric, phone and car note if nothing else. It's just you try so hard to make payments on time every month, and then if you mess up one time, your credit goes haywire. The key, well for me, is to just be appreciative of the things that you have and try not to worry too much about the negative. Don't worry about paying your bills on time, just do it. Don't worry about losing your job until you get laid off/fired. I will pray for both you and Marie.

Hello everyone. It has been a long time since I've been on, but I've been quite busy. The last time I posted, I wrote about my mother who was having her second bout with stomach cancer. It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that my mother went home to be with the Lord on Monday, July 3, 2006. It's over: her suffering, pain, and weakness. The last few months have been very hard for me. I cry all the time. I can't sleep, I hardly eat (I've lost 20 pounds). I've lost my best friend. What am I supposed to do without my mother? I miss her so much. My heart is broken. I'm in such a dark place. Each day I pray for strength and solace. My boys are 5 and 6, and they need me. My six-year old came to me a couple of days ago in tears. When I asked him why he was crying, he told me "My birthday is coming, and Grandma is not here to be with me. I miss my Grandma." Then it hit me. As I held my son to comfort him, it occurred to me that I was being selfish in my grief. I'd forgotten that my children lost someone, too. She was very close to my children. I completely forgot that they miss her too. My 5 year old has autism, so I'm not sure if he'll even remember her. But when he sees her picture, he points and says "Grandma, Grandma".

I'm sorry to go on like this. I'm telling you, I've never been in so much pain. Everyone keeps saying it takes time. I stay in prayer, but I have to tell you that I don't think it's working. I know my mother is an angel now. I know that He had to call her home. But I miss her--her voice, her smile, her cooking, her friendship, her hugs. I'm crying right now. I've got no place to put my pain and heartache. So I humbly ask you all to keep me in prayer that my broken heart will heal, and I can move on with my life--with Mama watching from above. Be blessed.
