Well I have really fallen behind on the entire blog world - my apologies! As I sit here tonight needing to go to sleep I felt that I should just ask for as many prayers as people who may read this would like to offer up. This evening I am sitting here just thinking of so many people that lives are close to God, yet suffering in so many ways. While God does not cause our suffering, he also doesn't say that there will be no sufferring but he does insure us that He will come again and that all our pain will be erased. I should definately get into some scripture references there, but I think I will just seek your prayers over the families below. My heart aches for them . . .
Norris Family - For Ella, not even 2 years old and has a brain tumor that this week they found out even with chemo it is still growing. They are starting a very aggressive round of radiation - 5 days a week for 6 weeks with chemo every two weeks. Her family is showing such faith through all of this.
Spinks Family - Kylie - there are several health issues that I do not want to wrongly represent, but I know that she has had a shunt put in and is remaining in the hospital for observation in order to prevent infection. Praying for healing and rest over them.
Reid Family - Ally, not even 3 when she was diagnosed with leukemia. Even though she is going through a 2+ year treatment plan she is such a fighter! Pray for the entire family as they balance life and health.
Marriages of Friends - I have three unspoken marriages that need to be prayed over - God knows the issues -
Addictions - That addictions would be broken and eyes would be opened to the ones that are loving them
Blessings - Got a call earlier today that a friend of mine is expecting her first child. The gift of life!! Pray over her pregnancy as she is still very early in the miracle of life.
Faith - Praying for faith, wisdom and knowing when to and when not to share it. Someone reminded me this morning that faith is a gift and what a rewarding gift if only we believe!

"Our baby was not going anywhere without a fight and I had the most powerful person on my side..MY LORD JESUS CHRIST. In a time of no hope, we had hope. We have our faith and good or bad our faith would carry us through..." ~Tamara Norris, Ella's mom, my high school friend
