    Thanks Aurora for sending your prayer request.

    Ladies, I know how many of you think because I am guilty of the same kind of thinking. All of us have needs and yes, some seem more serious than others but regardless we all have needs. I would like for ALL of you who participate in this thread to send me your prayer requests. There is no request that is too small if it is important to YOU.

    Thank you Kathy. You have the gift of encouragement and it is such an important gift in the body of Christ.

    Jean, glad you had a good day and praying things will all work out with your family needs.

    I am still waiting for my sister to get back to me so i can coordinate having a sewer company come out to my mom's and hopefully have my BIL there to help explain what we need done.

    Have a good night dear sisters.

    Love,

    Nancy

    I haven't been here in awhile. Catching up on all the previous posts.

    On a personal note, I just found out a friend has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He has a few weeks. I know as we get older this will occur more often, but it's still hard to lose old friends. I wish everyone could have a place like this to go to find friendship and support. You all are very special.

    I am praying that God grants you all strength, perseverance and peace.

    Blessings

    Good day dear ladies,

    After several days of little sleep and feeling pretty awful with GI problems I got a good night's sleep last night and feel so much better. I will be compiling requests from those who sent them in hopefully soon.

    Ellen sent me a request and I wanted to put this out there immediately. There is a little seven year old girl who has contracted ecoli and is in kidney failure and on dialysis. They were on vacation and are many miles from their home in Indiana. Let's pray for a miracle for Lydia and for her family as you can imagine what they are going through.

    Ellen will be doing a road trip with her DH and some family members and let's pray for safe travels for them this week and a great time.

    Aurora, needs a financial miracle as her treatments may have to be stopped.

    G, is having surgery on Thursday, Aug. 25. Let's pray against fear and anxiety and pray for a successful surgery with NO complications.

    I will write more later.

    Love,

    Nancy

    Thank you Arcats. Arcats is in need of a car. Let's pray for God's provision for her.

    Joanne has some unspoken prayer requests. Pray for her and her family.

    Let's continue to lift of G for her surgery on Thursday. As you can imagine having eight children that she home schools this is going to be a big challenge in organizing the family not even counting the actual surgery.

    I will post more this evening.

    Love,

    Nancy

    PRAYER REQUESTS AUGUST 2016

    Our sisters that are in ongoing treatment definitely need our ongoing prayers for them. Aurora, Faith, Debbie from Ireland and Charlotte.

    G is having another reconstruction surgery on Thursday, August 25. Let's pray for a successful surgery with no complications and good pain control. Let's also pray for her family as this will be a challenge for all of her eight children and her DH. Let's pray for his strength as he deals with all of the things he will be doing as she has her surgery and as she recovers.

    Aurora needs prayer for financial needs as they might stop her faslodex injections unless AstraZeneca approves her appeal of their rejection. She also needs prayer for her daughter to have passed the law bar exam which she took last month and will get results in September, and that the Florida bar association wants her to be debt free before certifying her. She obviously needs a good job for that to happen. All of this ties together with the financial challenges.

    Joanne Her prayer request is that the secondary angiosarcoma does not come back, and that she continues to heal - but drs are still telling her another year, at least.

    Arcats Her prayer request is for her niece and children. She is in need of a reliable car.

    Ellen has asked prayer for a 7 year old named Lydia. She contracted Ecoli and is on kidney dialysis and blood transfusions. They were vacationing in SC but are from Indiana and are not home yet. Let's pray for a complete recovery for this little girl and for strength for the family. Ellen is traveling with her DH and SIL's this week on a road trip and we pray for safe travels and for a great time.

    Jean needs prayer for family matters regarding her granddaughter and for her own health and for a healthy relationship with her DH.

    Mini, has a friend diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer with a few weeks to live. Let's pray for peace for him and his family as he enters into his last days.

    Nancy needs healing for her GI tract which has not recovered since March after having a food issue that was apparently tainted with bacteria. I am still having thyroid and finger issues that are unresolved.

    Let's pray for our ladies who we hear from when they can post but have not requested a specific request.

    Kathy, Lynn, Angie, Debbie (foots), Brutersmom, Char and Bev and 7 of 9.

    If you would like to still add a request to this list let me know and I can update it.PRAYER REQUESTS AUGUST 2016

    Nancy, thanks so much for the prayer list! I will print it out and use it as my guide for this group. I am attempting to visit the board at least once every week. It has been hard lately with my scheduled -- and I have missed each of you.

    My prayer request is for our Ministry. It is going well but there are the tough battles right now. Praying for a hedge of protection as we continue to work on our "organic garden" Love that saying Nancy!.

    Lost two very dear friends to cancer within a few weeks of each other. Please pray for their families, co-workers and friends during the most difficult time -- when they most try and resume normal lives without their loved ones.

    Love across the miles,

    Angie

    Faith has a dear friend Rosemary who has been fighting a terminal cancer for two years and now says it is in God's hands. She has been her inspiration and the thought of losing her is awful.

    Faith's son in law is still looking for a job and her son's family needs prayers for an emotional and financial crisis.

    Angie needs prayer for their ministry. It is going well but there are tough battles right now. They need a hedge of protection as they continue to work on their organic garden which I believe is a neighborhood outreach. She also lost two very dear friends to cancer within a few weeks of each other. Her prayer request is for their families, co-workers and friends during this most difficult time as they try to resume their normal lives without their loved ones.

    Nancy needs healing for her GI tract which has not recovered since March after having a food issue that was apparently tainted with bacteria. I am still having thyroid and finger issues that are unresolved.

    G, your cute little feet are all ready and I know you are all prayed up and are going to do just fine!

    Faith, thank you for your PM. I am so sorry to hear about your friend.

    Angie, thank you for your requests. I am sorry for your loss. I still think of Kath and Lucy and Steve and still can't believe it sometimes that they are with Jesus.


    Someone said to me recently that she thought of our thread as more than a prayer thread. I think we can certainly encourage each other in all areas of concern, I personally like humor and it would be fun to have a little levity at appropriate times. I think we all need a good laugh in the midst of our problems. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine. I think as long as we honor God here this thread will be different than others and hopefully a place that will attract others when they sense a feeling of community and connection and support here that has Jesus at the center.

    God Bless you all.

    Love,

    Nancy

    Dear sisters, it has been some time since I've posted here but I have kept up with the thread. I want to let you know that I have been diagnosed with lung mets. I am getting treated with faslodex and will have another scan in one month. I have a Stephen Minister now, and that's very helpful.

    Love & blessings to you all.

Praying for my daughter Angie who is beyond frustrated having spent the last 2 months trying to get her daughter Alexia into rehab. Now they want her approved for social services before they will even put her on the wait list. Aaagggghhhh. Love, Jean

    Ellen wanted me to share this with you as she is visiting family this weekend. Thank you for your prayers for Lydia.

    Good news...little Lydia has been discharged from the hospital and is headed home towards Indiana. She will still have to have blood followup on an outpatient basis, but her kidneys are functioning now. Her aunt told me that her family prayed all the way to the hospital ( they couldn't ride the medical copter) and they looked up and saw a rainbow as they reached the children's hospital ( no clouds in the sky). They took that as a sign from God that all would be well. They were given a picture of the medical helicopter and crew for Lydia to see...and there was a rainbow in the background. When Lydia felt well enough to do some art work....yes,she drew rainbows. They all know they are blessed to still have her and that her healing was God's work and His timing.

    Thank you Lord for answered prayers. It increases our faith and encourages our hearts.

    Have a great night dear sisters.

    Love,

    Nancy

    Nancy,

    Congrats on being recognized as a VIP nominee on BCO.

    I'm remembering in evening prayers Sister Paula Merrill and Sister Margaret Held, who were a blessing for the poor in Mississippi.

    Enjoy the last weekend in August.
