PRAYER REQUEST -- sheesh, when it rains, it pours. Pour BIL is so upset right now as he keeps receiving threats from his inherited annuity company that if his X-wife (who wanted the divorce many years ago) is not taken off the policy, they will stop paying out his trust completely (it really shouldn't be an issue as she wouldn't receive the trust unless he dies (or so we thought); that is how it was set up in the policy (or so I was told). I will look into the details more closely as he may be misinformed.
They will not tell him why they keep doing this; every time he thinks it is settled they send another letter with more threats. MY GOD, what is going on here? Unresolved issues that need addressing perhaps? They have suffered a continuous ripple of financial blows lately; one after another after another. Please pray mostly for his peace of mind; as he is taking this way too hard.
YES, I do believe Satan is attacking him becuz he is such a great Christian witness. This man tell everyone he meets (and I mean everyone) about his faith in JESUS; he so wants everyone to know GOD and go to heaven. Pray for a special grace right now until this issue is resolved "permanently" this time, please. THANKS WARRIORS ...

Prayers sent for your Aunt Sandy's family to feel the Lord's comfort and peace, and for your BIL and sister to have these crazy issues resolved with the satellite companies and the annuity company.
I just want to praise the Lord right now for prayers answered by Him for me this week- on Wednesday I briefly left a plate on the counter with cat food on it while I went into the other room. My dog jumped up to get the cat food, knocked the plate off the counter, and consumed the cat food and a bunch of glass shards. Initially the vets were talking surgery and I was just feeling terrible- I felt like my dog would have to suffer significant pain and major surgery because of my carelessness. The vets came up with another solution (involving feeding my dog cotton balls, no less) and as of today it appears she has passed all the glass out of her system without surgery. This is a miracle to me- not only for my dog but also for my bank balance. So I just thought I would post this up because I am so grateful. I know God answers our prayers.
THANKS, for all your prayers, DEE -- and PRAISE GOD for that wonderful idea that helped your furry baby and you. GOD knows our needs and helps us with both the little and big things in life!!!
I really believe GOD wants us to do what we can (or should do), then leave the rest in HIS or someone else's capable hands.

PRAYER REQUEST PLEASE -- could you pray that this flu leaves DH & I quickly; it hurts just to breathe, but it is a bit better today (can't walk very fast or I have trouble catching my breathe). My muscles are hurting a lot, so I may take a light pain pill (Tylenol) to help with that. Those are the three worst symptoms for me presently; I am hoping to feel much better before I go to see my doctor this Thursday -- thanks friends, I really need them ...

THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS THAT MY FLU WILL GO AWAYS QUICKLY AND COMPLETELY (DH'S TOO); and will not develop into pneumonia.
DH also needs some prayers to have peace while we are here (he says he wants to go home every day; and then at home, he says the same thing too; LOL). It's the condition but sometimes he gets ornery on me, so maybe next time, I won't bring him. I think I'll save up the money to put him into care instead, as it is not fair to me or my family to have to put up with all this added stress. (EDIT2ADD: BIL says not2worry; that DH is doing so much better now; so we just have to find ways to distract him, and that is working for us (plus I thought he had his meds already and he hadn't & that was remedied).
It's funny this time, he doesn't argue with them; just me. The wife always gets the crap, don't they? Like I need it right now -- I really don't! So pray that JESUS will be my patience and strength for the rest of the week until we go back home (which I need an extra dose of when I am sick). I am just so disappointed becuz normally he is so calm with his new meds; and everyone noticed the positive difference (well, it doesn't cure everything ).
We all wondered how he would react to being somewhere else again (away from home, I mean). I guess that will always be something he will have a hard time adjusting to: new places & situations, even though he was here before and remembers it too. He says, "I just don't understand why I have to be here". So I have to keep telling him why several times a day.
THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS ...
OH, I wanted to share a beautiful song with you that I shared with my BIL today; when life is stressing you out, always remember to go to GOD in prayer ...
Prayers sent. I hate how the evil one is on the attack right now with health, money, stresses, etc. I pray that God binds Satan's hands & voice.
A couple praises-Levi is doing well & graduated to crutches within a couple days instead of having to use a wheelchair at school. DS3's hand seems to be improving, but still has some pain and swelling, so still praying that the break heals with no lasting effects.
A couple requests-another friend of DS3, who is now a college freshman, has been having heart problems. He hid the pain from everyone while he was wrestling in high school, but it got too bad in the last few weeks. He's having tests today, but the family won't find out results until next week (probably). His name's Bryce and he's a good kid-really hoping they find the problem quickly and can fix it easily. He's got a wrestling scholarship for college.
Also, in the feast or famine category-my sister and her husband may be coming this weekend for a short visit (they had to move back to IL temporarily due to her insurance issues) and, right after they called, DH's mother called and said she and DH's sister may be coming Friday night for the football game and maybe stay overnight. I hate to say it, but I'd really rather that DH's family not come, as the sister might have an agenda and we just really don't need that stress.
Rosebud Praying for you and DH to be over that terrible flu quickly. Also praying peace for your DH so you and family can have peace as well.
Thanks so much for the song. Tony's DD and a friend of mine really need that song right now and I'm going to text it to them for encouragement.
Have a blessed day.
THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS FOR DH AND I -- he is doing better; turns out he hadn't taken his meds (I thought he had). Then we distracted him with some comedy TV and he is doing better. BIL says not2worry, he is doing so much better; just ignore his requests to go home as he says that all the time. We are using distraction techniques to deal with him today, and he is now doing better (he is eating his lunch presently and that always helps).
RONNI -- that is exactly why I shared that song (above); others agree that we are indeed being attacked and stressed to our max. Prayers gone up for BRYCE that the doctors will find the cause of his heart issues, and the best treatments, so that he can live out his dream wrestling scholarship. Also, prayers that your son's hand heals up quickly & completely with no more pain. YES, you will have your hands full with all that family there; prayers going up that all will go well in that situation ...
THANKS TRISH -- for your prayers; glad you like that song. I know it sure lifts me up when I sing along with her. The words are so powerful.

PRAISE GOD & THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS -- the annuity issue was a misunderstanding (which is what I thought); a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing (too many hands in the pot). They asked for some divorce documentation less than a month ago, but it turns out it was the wrong one; AND, this worker assumed that since they are divorced, that BIL would want her off the annuity as a benefactor (which wasn't so). He doesn't care what happens after he dies, as long as he gets to keep it while he is alive which is his right.
I have a prayer request for Tony's and my DGD Hannah Sherman who is now 11 years old is experiencing what most adults never see. For the past several years she has complained of joint and back pain. It has now progressed into a serious stage that has revealed three herniated disks in her back, overall pain for a massive body-wide inflammation affecting all of her body from her fingers to her toes. A recent MRI has not ruled out rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus or a possible immune system disorder. She can only take Tylenol which doesn’t help raise her pain threshold or get to the root of the problems. She prays for relief and then tells her mother that she wonders why she still hurts so much. We talked to her on Skype Sunday afternoon and she told me that her back still hurts "really bad".
With all that is going on with our healthy care problems here in America, her Mom had to drop her insurance for the family because it was $1,000 dollars a month and the deductible was in the thousands. She couldn't afford it as her DH has never gone full time on the job they moved to FL for him to take. So she has the full load financially. She is in the process of trying to get the kids on a state health plan they have.
Last night DD wrote on Facebook that she was so stressed that she feels lost. I text her to see if anything new had happened. Besides Hannah's problems, the oldest DGD has her leg in a cast from a paintball injury a few weeks ago, her DH has been in severe pain with his shoulder, and then last Thursday they found out the places on Jaxxon's legs that they thought were from some kind of insect bite is the Chickenpox. She wrote me and told me that she is so overwhelmed with all the sickness and her new job that praises her work, but complains because they don't want her working overtime to get all her paper work done at the end of the day. She said she had cried out to God for him to help her, but she just feels so stressed alone.
You know when they lived here, I felt her DH was not a really responsible worker and I had hoped I was wrong, but I don't think I am. This girl has health problems of her own. I asked her if she had gotten the injection for her neck. She told me "I'm so busy with everyone else, I haven't had time".
If they had stayed here in town, we could have helped ease some of the pressure, but now she is so far away.
The baby Jaxxon has been diagnosed Autistic, but he is in school. He will get over the chickenpox. BTW he had his shots, but is categorized as being in the 1% who gets it any way and the oldest DGD leg will heal. Richard evidently got his shoulder taken care of. But April and Hannah need lots of prayer... they need a miracle.
Sorry this is so long. I appreciate y'alls prayers.
TRISH -- we are praying for all your family for JESUS' healing touch, esp for HANNAH's spine & relief of pain for her and that the doctors will find the cause & best treatments for her; as well as health care for the whole family ...
PRAYERS for President Obama for wisdom & insight: for all the good work he tried to do to get better healthcare for all Americans; and for the trouble he is being given at this time (just like happened to Clinton with his healthcare reforms).
PRAYER REQUEST: A nephew is in trouble with the law (don't know what); needs to go to his parents for help. Pray that he will do the right thing ... thanks.

Thanks Rosebud. I pray that your nephew's situation will not be too serious. I pray that God will take this bad situation and turn it to good by bringing this young man to his senses, that it will be a wake up call for him. It is sad that some have to go through these things to grow up.
Also please pray for my beautician/friend Bernadine and her family. Their Daddy passed away 8 months ago and their Mother is in hospice now. The cancer in her leg has spread all over her body and she is dying. Tells her kids that she doesn't want to die and that she isn't going to. Don't know how you handle that. On top of that the only brother has caused problems by having their Daddy do a tape giving everything to him. Bernadine finally got to see the tape and it isn't legal. Her Daddy didn't know what he was doing (had dementia). Bernadine is the only one of the 4 kids who has tried to bring peace in the situation for the sake of her Mother and has told her sisters that she isn't going to do anything about it or talk about it to her Mother. So she needs a lot of prayer as she tries to work, drive 4 hrs to be with her Mom and hold things together. So she needs prayer for lots of wisdom and strength. I sent her the song you shared yesterday Rosebud and she really appreciated it. Also, may be a small thing to some, but she didn't get there in time to see her Daddy before he died. Please pray with me that she will be able to be there with her Mom when she passes away. She has mentioned this to me so many times so I know it is important to her. Thanks.
Prayers going up for all. Sure wish we could hear from Bargoo. She is really heavy on my heart. I pray she is all right.
UPDATE on my sister's/BIL's car: turns out it was WATER that was in the gas that man sold us; it must have been a lot of water to stop the car up like that. The mechanic says now the problem is how to get that water out of the car (fuel-injection) so it will run again. Oh dear ... more prayers needed there.
So we will have to use the small, older car for my appts tomorrow (to get the results of my other tests; we pray that they will come out clear). Please pray that we make it there and back safely please. I still have this terrible flu: my muscles hurting badly and the short breathing when walking are still my biggest problems. Need more prayers on that for sure!!! Prayers my lungs stay clear with no pneumonia; THANKS, friends!
BARGOO may be at one of her son's places right now; one other time she fell, they came and got her so they could take care of her. I wouldn't be surprised if they did that again. PRAYERS continue for her for good health & healing in every area of her life ...
BERNADINE -- prayers going up for her, her mother, and the will issue as well; what a shame she has to deal with that selfish greed at this time too. May GOD grant her strength, wisdom, and peace through this ordeal ...

PLEASE PRAY for a safe trip to the city for the results of my Cat Scan and other tests; we have to use their older back-up car so we pray for a good trip there and back. I feel better today: still have some hurting muscles (can't take meds until after the checkup as that masks a fever); and the breathing issue is better as long as I walk like a snail. We are praying my lungs are clear with no pneumonia (if the doctors are concerned, they will check that out today).
I just had a nice shower and that made me feel a bit better; just waiting to go now. Have a great day everyone ...
