Colossians 1:9

  • Jami -
    Her dad (Don) was diagnosed with bladder cancer. They recently did surgery to remove all the cancer and so far it all looks clear. So please pray that the MRI, blood work, and lab tests all come back negative.
  • Mandy-
    We need financial prayer. My hubby is in the RV industy & it is in the toilet right now. We are doing what we can to stay afloat, but it looks grim. We're in the process of selling the house just to get enough $ to make it through the winter. No debt...just struggling to buy necessities. Not sure where we'll end up?
  • Paige -
    (13 months old) girl who is battling stage one neuroblastoma which is a kind of cancer. Please pray for her and her family for complete healing. UPDATE: She's at home now and she's had one round of chemo so far. She'll have another round in the next 2 weeks and then they'll take a CT Scan of the lump to see if it has shrunk. Then they'll either do surgery to remove it (preferred) or they'll give her 2 more rounds of chemo and take a look at it again. So far she seems to be doing well, with no physical side affects.
  • Brenda -
    Going for more tests this week at the hospital. She was already cleared from the results from her breast but we are still a little concerned because of our family history with cancer (Brenda is my aunt).
  • Samantha -
    Zoe, her seven year old daughter has been diagnosed with scoliosis, a heart murmur, and most recently Mitral Valve Prolapse, and Patent Ductus Ateriosus. Zoe will have to have surgery...possibly in July. Their insurance only covers 80% of the costs of treatment. Please pray for Gods provision and healing.
  • Grandma Vicker -
    Has had heart problems for forever but now her aortic valve is beginning to tighten causing her heart murmer to increase...so soon they might have to re-open her heart to give her a different valve.
  • Heidi -
    She is battling all kinds of crazy...her diagnosis being: lacunar stroke; onset diabetes/ high cholesterol/ migraines. Please pray for all of that.
  • Gabe –
    2 year old little boy is going through chemo is very weak and sick. Please continue to pray for him and his family.
  • Anne -
    Direction, wisdom and timing as she writes her book.
  • Bethlehem House -
    Lynn- the intrum house mom...Please pray for strength and wisdom as she leads the girls toward the Cross.
  • Derek and Shannon -
    Continued healing from the cancer that has been eating away at their lives. (He is in remission but the disease is still causing all sorts of drama).
  • Jackie and Chuck -
    Health and comfort as they grow old together. (She battles COPD, emphysema and array of other health issues.)
  • Mr. and Mrs. Fair -
    Wisdom for Daniel as he leads our family, wisdom for me as I follow.
  • The people of South Africa -
    Salvation, healing within their land, food in their bellies.
  • Kelsey -
    girl from youth group...Dr's can't seem to figure out what is wrong; she has been ill for over 2 years.

and this is what happened...her name is Safari

P1030267 So since our dumb dog jumps our meter and a half fence - we were racking our brains to figure out what to do to remedy the situation because we can't keep fixing our fence or building it higher and higher (which is what we have been doing). So since Major (the dog) always runs away to the neighbors house (with the dogs) to play, we thought it might be a good idea to give her a play mate. I was thinking maybe one that could be a more mature dog...as to help guard our home and persons (since hello! We live in South Africa and it is known here to NOT be the most safe place to be). But this one is Daniel's dog and he was going to pick and name it. This my friends is what he chose. We don't really know what she is...as the humane society didn't really have a history other then tell us she was 8 weeks old and likes to snuggle. Yeah...so much for a guard dog. Major likes her though and even as I write this, Safari (Daniel's picked name) is sleeping on my lap. So that is the latest news. P1030270

congratulations on the new baby!

Our babies are our kittens. I'm so very happy with pets for kids...train them to pee on their own, fill their bowl with food, snuggle, play and call it a day! No breakups, bad grades, school bills or weddings!

So, I couldn't be happier for the new addition to your family! She's beautiful!
