You are all in my prayers!

UPDATE ~ Thank the LORD, this day is over -- it was a long one. I think the waiting causes the most anxiety; as I ended up being the last one in even though I was booked for 10 AM. The doctor wanted to take a little extra time at the end of the day becuz of the family history and that turned out to be a good thing in the end. He found two polyps, which he removed right away ... yeah!

There were some anxious moments when 2 nurses had trouble finding a good vein; took 6 attempts (ouch) to get a good one. They had to give me more cleaning meds and that caused some issues for me -- let's just say that I had 3 showers today ... I was asleep for awhile, but woke up and the assisting doctor had to give me more meds 3 or 4 times (so felt a bit more than I'd hope to); but I got through it by the grace & strength GOD gave me today.

ON a good note, there was no tear or hems or other conditions; but we didn't find the cause of the bleeding. He said it is possible that the one polyps could have bled a bit; we'll see what happens in the future (sure hope it is all healed up and I don't have an ulcer or something like that). I am pleased that all that turned out well in the end though.

THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS EVERYONE ~ I sure needed them and I am sure they helped me a lot. I still can't eat solid food yet though, until tomorrow night and boy, am I starving ... think I'll try to get lots of sleep not to think about it as I didn't get much the last couple of days ... SO, THANKS AGAIN.


PRAYER REQUESTS ~ My poor sister NUMPSTER has to have an endoscopy (for her stomach) & a colonoscopy at the same time on December 13th; they have been having trouble with giving her enuff sedation as they did me today. We must have strong resistance or something. They are looking to see if she has an ulcer; and for polyps again.

GRACIE S. (my stepmother) ~ has to have another bladder operation on the 30th of November to remove cancer cells; I know she would also appreciate prayers for that as well. She has her prep on Wednesday this week.

Thank You Father for Rosebud being alright,been missing you so much Rosebud, praying for all request.

There were but two occasions when our Lord Jesus is recorded to have marveled at all, and both of these were concerning faith. First, he marveled at the centurion: ‘I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel’ (Luke 7:9). And on the second occasion, he marveled at the absence of faith where it might have been expected to be found, namely, in his own fellow townsmen: ‘He marveled because of their unbelief’ (Mark 6:6). So you see that in both instances it was faith or the absence of it that caused Christ to wonder. See the importance of faith! Never place that precious grace in a secondary position. – Charles H. Spurgeon

As we continue to pray for ourselves and others, don't forget to thank God for our faith!

There are 2 young mothers that I am aquaintted with. Both are suffering from drug and sexual addictions. Both have lost their children because of their lifestyles. Both are in desperate need of prayer and salvation. Both are beyond my physical reach, but not beyond our Father's. Please pray for deliverence for these two young woman, that they may come to know Jesus as their Saviour, and know that they are NOT alone, and through Christ, there IS help for them.Their names are Kristi and Dia

Gee I don't know what happen but my message went zoooooooop! Will try again.

Praying for Kristi and Dia's children. They must be so confused and afraid of what has happen, that Jesus puts someone in their lives that they can trust, guide them and give them a wonderful life.

I pray for Kristi and Dia that they can pick themselves up and leave the old life behind and make a new one worth living. They can only do this if they want to though ,it is up to them. I pray they do pick themselves up and reach out to God but they should not expect him to do it all, they have to do their part also. It is just like anything else in life , if you want to succeed you have to work for it and Jesus does not promise it will be easy or that there will not be any temptation along the way. The poem Foot Steps in the sand though I just love when he carries us through when the tough gets to tough so to say. Be praying for them tonight.

THANKS, BOOTSIE ~ I guess you could pray for my PC issues too; I'm using an old one until I either can fix the other one, OR I am even looking into maybe buying a newer one with much more memory -- so we'll see what happens.

YES, GARY ~ thank the LORD for our faith and for His tendermercies & lovingkindnesses towards us all; I am so grateful for the faith He has given us all here as well.


^PRAYERS ASCENDING ^ for KRISTI & DIA for direction & guidance & the LORD's healing touch and grace in their lives.


PRAYER REQUEST FOR MY NIECE & FAMILY ~ one of my nieces has come into a relationship with a young man who isn't a good influence at all. Her name is KAYLA -- she just suddenly left home recently & her parents are very worried about her well-being. She was/is a Christian & we are hoping that her good upbringing will hold her steady; and that the LORD will keep her safe & lead her back on a good path again. Plus at least, keep in touch with her family as they are very sad & upset about all of this ... thanks!

Prayers for all requests.

Rosebud, keeping your sister and stepmom in prayer.

Me to Rosebud and for all request.

I have a friend that has kidney stones and I been praying for her but she needs more than me ,please pray for my friend that I have never met but still she is dear to me.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS ~ very appreciated!


BOOTSIE ~ prayers going up for your friend; kidney stones are very painful ... to her too!

My friend had a lot of snow fall and she had an ultra sound this morning at 11:20, have not heard from her ,she is more than likely tuckered out or she might of had to have surgery for she was in so much pain. I pray for her doctor to have wisdom and the nurses to do the best they can and her pain go away and she has a fast recovery.
Praying for Rosebuds computer for I sure do miss her! Also praying for your sister and stepmom.

Just heard from my friend and she did not have her ultra sound today for she got snowed in, 3 feet of snow fell and expecting more tonight! Will try to get her ultra sound done this Thursday depends on the weather. Rosebud are you getting snow?

Yes, we have had a blowing snow storm here for the last few days; thankfully much of it blew across the road to an empty lot. We did get enuff to bank around our place which really helps keep us warmer as there is no basement in this place.

Still sending up prayers for your dear friend for relief of pain & a quick resolution for those kidney stones. I know Grace's procedure is done; we haven't heard from Dad yet -- he usually calls us (we try not to bug them as she needs lots of rest afterwards). I know he will call us when he can; my Dad has to really take care of her after these surgeries. We will keep praying that her bladder will be clear in the future ... and continue to work that FAITH!

GOOD NEWS UPDATE ~ our brother is back at home and feeling well; thanks for all your prayers for him and our family ... and PTL for hearing and answering all our prayers!!!
