Man! What a heart-touching service we had in our Bridge Builder class. Sometimes it is not the lesson that man has planned, but the way the Lord uses His children to speak from the heart that means the most. Thank you Laura Beth for such a great message. Thank you for opening your heart and allowing the Lord to speak through and use you! We never fully understand why things happen the way they do. We just have to trust that the Lord has a plan and that His ways are perfect.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
Sylvest Family- please continue to remember Charles, Laura Beth, Jodie's children, and the rest of the Sylvest family as they continue to grieve the death of Jodie. There are/will be ongoing legal issues that will come about that the Sylvest's will have to deal with. Please pray that God will move and will lead in the direction He would have them take. Please pray that the driver, his family and friends will learn from what happened and that God can move in their lives to make a change.
Wilkins Family- grandmother of a friend of Lindsey Sanford committed suicide after a long battle with depression and mental disease. Please remember this family as they try to find a new norm and move through the grieving process. Suicide leaves loved ones with so many unanswered questions.
Amerson and Caviness Families- Friends of the Talleys. Lacie and Candice are expecting new arrivals both in March. Lacie Amerson is pregnant with their 3 child and has just found out she has placenta previa. Please remember her, Jeremy and their 2 boys as they prepare for the newest addition. Candice and Robby Caviness are excited about their 1st pregnancy...with TWINS! Please remember them as they prepare for a life change!!
Jenn's friends were involved in a car accident where they ran into a house. The female driver was killed (Wright family) and Kyle Paris (the passenger) is in UAB with head trauma. He has no recollection of what happened or even why he is in the hospital. Please remember the Wright family, Kyle and also the family of the house they hit. Kyle will have a lot to go through as his memory does begin to come back and the Wright family has sorrow as they have lost a loved one.
2 former students of Jenn's hit a teacher (former co-worker of Jenn's) who was 7 months pregnant. She and the baby were killed. Please remember in prayer this lady's family. The 2 students have been arrested. They too need our prayers as well as their families.
Joanna's friend Dan fell and was hurt pretty badly. Please pray for a speedy recovery and that he can remain comfortable during the healing process.
Crystal Hatcher's grandmother Caroline Horton was scheduled for quadruple bypass surgery this week. Please pray for her, the physicians and other medical team members she will encounter and for the family who will be caring for her as she recovers. Please pray that she will heal quickly.
Wendy Troglen is having the twins today at East. Please pray for a quick and safe delivery and recovery.
Mimi Robinson is having a heart procedure this week.
Students-those exposed to and suffering from the flu (teachers and staff as well)
From our lesson this week, go back and read Romans 7:14-the end of the chapter. I challenge you, as Laura Beth did, not to be a slave to the sin that entangles us. Set yourself apart. Know that you can only do it through the grace of God. Give Him control of your thoughts and actions. Let Him be your guiding force!
Have a beautiful week! See you Sunday!
