Prayer Requests

#1 11-10-2003, 09:01 PM

Ok, so this is kind of different, but I think it's a good place to post anything that is of great concern to us. This sorority was founded on the "highest ideals of Christian womanhood" and I think that asking our sisters to pray for us would be a great way for us to further those ideals. Obviously, not all ADPis are Christians, which is why it is the IDEALS, not the doctrine!!

SO, please post anything you need prayer for. Think of all the sisters you can have making petitions on your behalf!!!!

Love and Loyalty

I believe that the principles established by our founders in 1851 are enduring attributes, exemplifying the highest ideals of Christian womanhood.

I don't have a special request at this time, but I am a prayer warrior at my church, and a volunteer at Fresh Start Divorce Recovery Seminars (at which I hope to never meet any of y'all!!). So, I would be happy to pray for a sister in need.

I will give a praise report: Cheryl, the sister I've mentioned to whom I'm very close, emailed me to say that her house outside of San Diego was spared. Many of her friends & coworkers weren't as fortunate, but since I hadn't even been able to reach her in 2 weeks, I was SOOO glad to hear from her!!

I'm so excited to see other Christian ADPi's! I am so strong in my faith, and it's awesome to see God's work in everyone around us! I do have a simple prayer request....I will soon be testifying in court (about a month or so) and am very nervous about it. I have been praying for peace, calmness, and the strength to do what I have to, but I would greatly appreciate all the help I can get from ya'll.

ADPiZXalum, what a lovely idea! I think it's great that no matter what our faith is we can still hope and pray for our fellow sisters

honeychile, I'm so happy to hear that a house was saved in the terrible fire! My prayers & thoughts will be with all of them that have been hurt by this terrible tragedy.

UNLADPi, you know your sisters will be right there with you to support you!!!

PM the date of your court appearance, and I'll be sure to keep it in mind & heart.

I have to testify as part of my job. One of the tricks I've learned is to put my hands flat on the table or stand in front of me. They'll keep cooler that way, and steady you. I don't know the exact why, but it works for me!

Be careful for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication make your requests known to God, and the PEACE of God which passeth all understanding will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus our Lord. Philippians 4:6-7

this is one I was given way back when I was in a equally trying situation. good luck, you'll do great.
pi love and mine

These are the very reasons I'm an ADPi! I love you guys even though I don't "know you"! Keep on believing and praying...God brings us all together for reasons only He knows! Thank you so much for your support and prayers...I'm here for you all if you need anything too!

Psalm 142

Anyway, like I said I'll be thinking about you.

I really need y'alls prayers, badly.

Without going into a 3-generation drama of my family dynamics, let's just say that a "cousin" just unleashed some very serious accusations/hate on my mama. The "cousin" just lost her husband, and God bless my mama, she's telling me to forgive her, she's distraught. SHE HASN'T EVEN SPOKEN TO MY MAMA IN OVER TWENTY YEARS!!!! Her half-sister had flown out to be with her (my mama paid for her flight), and when she called to say she arrived safely, my mama asked to speak to the "cousin" to express her sympathy - and was attacked.

I am aching. This "family" branch has been nothing but drama since Day One.

Tomorrow (Saturday), I am to give a seminar on genealogy lineages for the DAR. Three State Officers have unexpectedly decided to attend. This must go well, as I would like to be able to eventually change my career to that of a certified genealogist in the future, and want to be able to handle this seminar well. I don't NEED the stress right now! I have worked hard to be qualified to give these seminars, and I need to be more Christian so I can get over the anger I have right now!

This is probably not making a lick of sense, but oh, how I'm hurting inside...

Honey, I have both your family, your seminar, and you in my prayers for this evening.

I have a little bit of a praise....my niece gave birth to a beautiful baby girl yesterday, so I'm a great-aunt (gosh that makes me feel old!)

WLFEO · #11 01-10-2004, 12:47 PM

I'll pray for all of you! It would be cool if we set a time where we all knew we were all praying for each other at once. But anyway, we can pray whenever we want and I'm going to right NOW!

honeychile · #12 01-11-2004, 12:12 AM

Praise Report: All went well with my seminar today! I really didn't get much sleep, but since I've been home, I've been contacted by each of the State Chairman, congratulating me on a job well done! *whew*

As for the family drama, only time will tell about that. To say that it was interesting to be speaking about lineage while a questionable family drama was being played out made it a little interesting...!!

I agree with WLFEO - maybe we could set some time aside to be mutually in prayer. I pray daily for this thread and all of whom it represents. I am just SO proud of y'all!! So often, as I read your posts on other threads, I just think of how wonderfully each GC ADPi represents herself and the rest of us!

Eugenia would be so happy!

polarpi · #13 01-11-2004, 01:07 AM

I also agree with the idea of a mutual prayer time....as a suggestion, it would probably work best sometime in the late afternoon for East Coasters or so.....rather than a late night or morning, with the varied time zones we cover (BTW, how many time zones DO we cover on this board with our sisters???)

All of my sisters are in my thoughts and prayers this evening

L&L,
Jennie

To all my sisters:

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, Honeychile, I'm so happy to hear everything went well! I only turned on my computer today to check if you'd posted anything about your presentation or family! YIIIIPPPPEEEEE!
