Colossians 1:9

  • Alex -
    I'm having a hard time, nothing major, just lingering anxiety, crying jags... on how close we came to a repeat of loss. It was too close to my husbands anniversary. So I'm keeping close to THE WORD, praying...I know it will get easier with time. Guess I still had some stuff buried to work thru."

Monday Prayer

It is still technically Monday in the States...so if you have anything to pray about this week, please know that you will be partnered with. Even if I can't figure out how to post "Monday prayer" in a timely manor here on the Kristiapplesauce site. Dang. Maybe we need to pray for time management for me. All are welcome.

Monday Prayer

I am so sorry. We are leaving [again] for the Transkei in a few hours so I won't be able to check these prayer requests/praises but I will totally be praying for past ones and will check back in on Friday when we get back into town. Please pray for us as we travel. We also have a small team coming in from America who are joining us. Pray for them as well and that we accomplish all that God has for us during this time. Also for our cars. Thanks!

Monday Prayer

Hi Prayer Peeps! It is rad to begin the week with you and to know that we are praying together. I love that so much. I have no idea how you guys pray...but for me I have been praying this way since forever. When I was 14 or 15 my parents sent me to a retreat in California and one of the sessions was on prayer. The lady did a workshop and gave all kinds of lessons and scripture bla bla. Her name was  Becky Tirabassi. Since then I have pretty much stuck with her plan of action. I don't always write down my prayers anymore...but I do pray all the time still. Weird how some things stick with you and some don't. Anyways...when I pray throughout the day I have a running convo with God...for whatever. But when I concentrate and quiet my mind and heart before Him I pray like this: Praises, Thanksgiving, Forgiveness, Others, then for myself. Yup...that's how I have pretty much have always prayed. Sometimes I will pray for other people like only thanking God for them...like I will pray for my nephew and thank Him for him in all the ways I can think of...or I will drive somewhere and Praise God for everything I see on my drive. Sometimes while in my reading time I will look up all the scriptures I can on Forgiveness and soak up that and spend a solid day asking God to reveal Himself to me and what I need to surrender and other days I will only pray Praises. Some days I will do all five as I pray...anyways, as this Monday rolls around I am excited to pray for you and to build this community of believers. I am honored to stand with you in pursuit of the Cross. All are welcome. So please feel free to leave your Praise, Thanksgiving, Forgiveness, prayer for others or yourself here...all will be lifted up.

Tuesday Prayer

Please forgive me. I didn't mean to not post yesterday "Monday prayer" but Daniel and I are sick and we slept for most of the day so we weren't on the computer much. But Tuesdays are a great day to pray, right? Right. So if you wanna pray with some really cool people here in the community of believers, please feel free to drop your Praise, Thanksgiving, request or anything else here and we will stand with you in your pursuit of the Cross. All are welcome.

Tuesday Prayer

So you know...there I was, getting ready to start a new post this morning and just before I did that I checked my email and there were several emails...SEVERAL emails desiring prayer. Not just la la prayers (which are great too) but "Pour your heart out to God and lets get to the Cross together prayers because if I have to take one more step alone I am going to crumble under the weight of the burden"-prayers. My life is like that. I have realized that none of us can do this journey alone. I know it may seem like we can and we can certainly fake it for a while, but it is a lie to everyone to say we can. How ridiculous to say that my biggest prayer right now is for protection over my mind? Maybe it is our literal safety as we battle everyday here of the dangers of this African Nation, and the unknowns that come with it...but the other night when I slept here alone my imagination led me to believe that I was going to be slaughtered in the night. I slept with the lights on and sobbed for what seemed like hours. Out loud, screams even out to the LORD. But He met me there. He met me there. Daniel (my protector) is here now and we both slept through the night last night...but the fear isn't any less real. So please pray for us. I will not disclose the other emails that were scattered in my inbox this morning. But I am committing to prayer today (all week for those who left Monday prayer as well) and so we together can stand in the gap as God so intended. As always all are welcome and the Alter is ready.

Praise

Jules had requested prayer for her thyroid a couple of weeks ago and recently went to the doctor to make sure it wasn't cancerous. We are happy to announce that she is cancer free. Thanks for praying and note that I have now taken her (and several people actually) off of the side bar because those prayers were answered. If you have any Yay God moments, feel free to share.

*update- Brenda, (on the sidebar) was cleared - no cancer in her breast. Woo hoo, but is now going for other tests this week to make sure she is cancer free in the rest of her body. Thanks for praying.
