May 3, 2009

I don't know about you all, but I am finding myself more and more engrossed in the Love Dare! It has become a challenge each day to find new ways to express my love and devotion to James. I am not only learning more about him, but also about myself. I think this study can truly be a blessing in our marriages if we earnestly seek Him through it. Enjoy diving in to this week's lesson! There were several out this week, we hope to see Sunday. Remember, we are in our new classroom! Thanks Laura Beth for breakfast!

PRAYER REQUESTS:
Meadowbrook subdivision shooting- Please be in prayer for the family(s) who lost loved ones, for those recovering and for the shooter. How sad it must feel to think that the only way to resolve a disagreement is through violence that results with death. If this man does not know the Lord, please pray for salvation.


The Sylvest family- Charles and Laura Beth have started renovations on the house. Please remember them as they are in the midst of all the construction. Please pray that the weather will cooperate and that they will be able to move things along with no snags. Laura Beth is not feeling well today, please pray that she will be back to herself soon. They also returned home last night to discover the air is not working. Since the temperature is warmer, this may cause some discomfort. Please pray they are able to stay cool and will be able to fix the air conditioner soon.


Please remember Laura Beth's grandfather, Mr. Ingram. Since his strokes and breaking his foot, he is now "giving up" and refusing to eat. Please be in prayer as his family takes care of him. Also, pray that he will once again receive his will to carry on. He has lived a long life and has been healthy until the last several months. Please be in prayer for his physical but more importantly his emotional health.


The Connor's- Bobby has been charged with false accusations. Please pray that the truth be revealed and that he will be cleared. They will be attending court for this matter just 2 weeks before the birth of "sweet baby girl." Pray that Tonya will be able to handle the stress that comes along with such accusations. Please remember to lift them up as they prepare for the new arrival.


PRAISES:
The Forbus family has found a home! Please be in prayer that if this is the house the Lord would have them own, that things will move along quickly and that all will fall into place.


ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Be thinking about our next social. We are thinking about a cook-out but incorporating a "Baby Blessings" for the Connors!


Please be in prayer about how you can be a leader in our class. There are opportunities for you to serve. Be in prayer and seek for the Lord's will. He wants to use you! Remember, He does not call the equipped, He equips the called!! He will lead you where He can not use you!

As always, LOVE on your spouse this week! Let them know how special they are to you!!
