Sunday July 25, 2010

Thanks Obed for a wonderful lesson. Thank you for allowing God to speak through you. We are glad that Charles and Laura Beth had a great trip and made it home safe and sound. May the Lord be with you all for the remainder of this week and 'urge' you back into his house this Sunday. Please remember this Sunday is Promotion Sunday and there are still several needs with our little one's classes. Please be in prayer and seek the Lord's will to see if it is you who He wants to use!!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
Scott and Kelly- the IVF did not take; Kelly is now more angry than anything. Please pray that she will seek comfort from the Lord. Pray for Scott as he helps he through this as I am sure he is grieving, himself.
Winston Hunt- moves to college August 1st. Will be going to New Mexico State. This is a huge deal for this young man. Please pray that Godly influences will be placed in his life. Also, be in prayer for the legal situations that are still to arise for him.
The Wiggins'- left Wetumpka today, will stay in Moody tonight and will head out to be with Jeff tomorrow. Please pray for safe travel.
Addison Hatcher will be going to Children's for an MRI for her febrile seizures. Please remember Crystal and Josh as the sit and wait, especially since Addie will be sedated. Please pray for the physicians and techs who will be caring for sweet Addie.
Kassidy Mitchell- 14 year old with severe epilepsy who will be undergoing tests at Children's in September. There are already known lesions on her brain, but the tests will determine the severity of the damage. She has already been diagnosed with a mild form of MR. This news has been difficult for her siblings.
Wetumpka School System- school is about to be in session and the teachers, administration and students need our prayers, especially since the killings. Tensions may be running high as the school year begins. Please pray that the staff will continue to be beacons of His light to what is sometimes a very dark place.
Katie Frederick's old boss- his ex-wife committed suicide, they have twins. Please pray for peace and understanding for the twins and comfort for him as he now raises the twins as a single dad.
Community at large!! People need Jesus and if we don't let them see Him through us, how will they know His love??
Hope to see you Sunday!!

Sunday March 14, 2010

How impressed are you guys that this is being done ON Sunday??!!! Don't get used to it!! HAHA For those out for various reasons, please know you were missed. Even though we were few in number, we were great in faith (thanks Charles for the phrase!!). We joined with Pathfinders (Clint Peevy) this morning and Obed led a great lesson on immorality and how we as Christians should approach different situations/people/circumstances. We took a good long look at what God's word has to offer. What a great lesson! Thanks Obed!! Thank you Allison, Jeff and Clint for great a great breakfast!!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
Kelly and Scott- Kelly has not miscarried yet. She had started to have some bleeding as our class continued this morning. The hope is that she will miscarry on her own so that she does not have to take drugs to induce the miscarriage. If she has to take the drugs, then she will have to wait 6 months before another IVF can take place. Please pray for their upset hearts as they want so badly to have a child.
Kelly and Richard- Heather's cousin in GA, 25 weeks along with twins and in the hospital until she delivers. Baby 2 is not getting sufficient blood flow through the umbilical chord. Please pray that the flow will remain the same or increase so that the babies will not have to be delivered. Please pray for Kelly as she is in the bed with only bathroom privileged and for Richard as he is by her side.
Allison and Jeff- Jeff will be leaving Tuesday for work and will be gone until July. Please pray for safety and for Allison as she will be home alone with the boys. They will only be able to see one another during visits where Allison will be traveling there (Virginia, I believe).
Anna- Laura Beth's friend who is 30 weeks pregnant with twins. She has carried them almost to term. They could deliver any time. Please pray for a safe delivery for mom and babies.
Destiny- Jenn's step-sister's daughter is still at Children's in Birmingham but is doing some better. Please continue to remember this family and sweet little girl. Please pray for comfort and for the best decisions to be made.
Hannah Rawls- 4th grader at Jenn's school was burned with hot cooking grease. She is at Children's in Birmingham. Please pray for comfort for her and for strength for her family. Burns are difficult to care for and are very painful.
Savannah in Kansas- this is a woman Jenn has learned about through the Internet. She was involved in an accident and is in the hospital in a coma. The situation seems really bad, but we know we serve an awesome God who works miracles each and every day. Please remember this family. Even though we may not know them, God does!
Caviness family- Elliot was brought to his BAMA home last night and Luke will be joining them Monday. Please pray for the family as they transition and as they learn to care for Luke and all of "his tubes" at home without the aid of the nurses. Please pray that the boys will continue to thrive and do well. What a testimony they already have at just 4 months old!! Praise God!

Caviness twins- Elliot did not get to move to the Ronald McDonald House. Both are having surgery because of their lack of gag reflex. They are having tubes placed so that their feeds go directly to their bellies in hopes that they will not aspirate. Please continue to praise God for what He has done so far in these little one's lives and for what He is yet to do! Robby and Candice are still uncertain as to the cognitive delays they will face with the boys. Please pray that if they are to receive negative news, that it be delivered in such a way that it is easier to handle. We know how great God is and the wonderful things He can do. If only we believe and trust in Him!

Charlotte- Laura Beth's sister
Justin- Wiggins' nephew is doing better with the med increase. Please continue to remember him and his family as they continue to adjust and progress with positive behavior.
Our SS class-that we would be witness to others and that we would not be ashamed to go out, reach out to others and bring them to God's house to worship with us.
Winston- living with other Aunt and is doing better since surgery. He is undergoing PT to strengthen his leg. Please pray that his family will be willing to support him with the decision about college, especially if their is a scholarship available. Pray that they will see this as a positive for Winston.
Destiny- Jenn's step-sisters daughter. Has some delays. Please pray for wisdom and patience for the family as they care for this little one. Please pray that her life will be filled with happiness, peace and love while she is here with us. She has no muscle control which makes breathing difficult.
