Baptist PRAYER CHAIN

[BT]

Here is a sticky thread for our on-going prayer requests and updates.

I have been asked to candidate in a church in Edmonton. Which is great news.

Edmonton is almost exactly on the other side of the country from me. Which means that we would pick up everything and leave everything we know and everyone who is so important to us (not the least of all our church family) and pursue God's will.

At one point in my life I answered the call with a, "Yes Lord!" and said that I was willing to do anything and go anywhere that He wanted. I just didn't expect it to be so far :sorry: .

I didn't really struggle with the decision because when they asked me they said, "Are you willing to go to Edmonton?" Ack!!! If only they'd said, "Do you want to go to Edmonton?" Ha!

I was driving in my car, home from work one day last week and I was thinking... man, what a sacrifice. Then a still small voice said to me, "Yeah the cross was a sacrifice too, so what are you willing to sacrifice?" Ack! (I hate when that happens). So I said, "Anything you want."

So now the process has begun and we'll find out in a few weeks whether or not I'll be flying out to Edmonton to preach and be interviewed by the board and the church. So please pray for us that God's will be done, regardless of what makes us comfortable.

A group of christian ladies, myself included, have opened a faith based battered women's shelter...we can talk freely of Jesus' love, healing, salvation, security and grace :)
It's awesome. But as with all new ministries we are struggling to keep our heads above that financial sea it's so easy to drown in. Please, pray for our support as well as our spiritual strength....but most of all, pray that our focus and central purpose remains sharing the Gospel of Jesus and not on the situations these girls are coming out of.
Thanks y'all :)
God Bless

I am struggling about where I belong, and in what church I belong in. I am a member of a Baptist church but am having problems with some of what is taught. So I guess I would ask for God to open my eyes to where I belong and what is the truth.

[mesue]

:pray: Praying for BT, Gwenyfur and Uncle Bud :pray:

:bow: Praising God for BT's obedience to God. :clap: He will honor it and bless it.
At least He has called you to your own country ;)


If you think of it, I would like prayer for clear direction for a job and church ministry. I injured my neck in November and have been out of work since. I can no longer do the kind of Nursing that I have been. But, I still need to work.
thank you

Hello Everyone,

Last night I went to my church's bible study. This study has been an on going study in the book of Revelation. I am not sure exactly how long, but its been over a year now they have been studying. Since I've become a new believer(February) in our Lord Jesus, my feelings of loving, learning and serving the Lord is very enormous. What I am afraid of is losing this feeling if I continue to go to this study. I can handle the stuff I am learning in the bible about Revelation, its the "theories" of how some of the signs are going to be. Such as, the internet is a possible method used by the anti-christ to keep track of all the people left here on earth. Coming to this conclusion by the "WWW" that is in the web addresses. Apparently the Hebrew language never had numbers. When they adopted the english numeric system. They assigned the letters numbers. W was assigned the number 6....which would give thought to the "www" or 666. That there is technology of a micro-chip being inserted into humans to track any information that person so desires. This chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Its injected through a syringe and then it bonds to the underskin. Making it almost impossible to remove. Then it was mentioned that scientist are able to now harnest some of the humans magnetic brain waves and convert it to radio waves which is then able to be directed back to the brain. This could be a possible way the anti-christ manipulates the minds of the people left on earth. I swear I thought as I was sitting there I was hearing the script of the movie "Total Recall" the one with Arnold. (Side note, weird coincidence, Arnold was being interviewed on Hanity and Colmes last night when I came home from this study:eek: )Then there was thoughts on what the mark of the beast is going to be....ie: credit cards & UPC codes. I keep hearing the "rapture is close". "We are so close we can taste it." "We christians wont need to worry about any of what is going to happen during the tribulation period cause we will be with God. BUT......we better be scared for our loved ones that are NOT saved. We better try our hardest to get them to come to know the Lord. " This is where my dilemia starts. My husband and others in the family are not saved. Coming home last night just was so frustrating cause I want so despartely for my loved ones to know the Lord. However, I also realize that I CANNOT bring them to the Lord. The only thing that I CAN do is be used as an instrument to bring them to the Lord if it is His will. How do I know what I should or shouldn't be doing for the Lord in His quest to bring my family's souls to Him? I feel so much pressure now.

I wonder if I should stop going to this bible study until I can get a better foundation and grounded in the Lord? Could I get some advice and prayers , please?

Thank you so much!

I am praying for you and your family. You can bring them to the LORD, you just can't save them. Keep praying for your family. Don't beat them on the head with scripture (save that for the hypocrites) , just live to learn to be like Christ. Your family will see something in you that they want. God knows the desires of your heart. He knows you want to see your family's salvation.
We who are saved don't have to worry about the anti-Christ. We are under God's domain. What Satan means for bad, God will use for good. A lot of people come to know Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior from reading things over the internet. God is always in control. Don't ever forget that.
If you want to stop going to the Bible study, then don't go. But know that Revelation is not all doom and gloom. Read chapters 21 and 22, we win!!

If you think of it, I would like prayer for clear direction for a job and church ministry. I injured my neck in November and have been out of work since. I can no longer do the kind of Nursing that I have been. But, I still need to work.
thank you
:hug: 's

You guys are great prayer warriors! God is indeed awesome. I went to Celebrate Recovery last night and one of my friends said "Hey, we need a nurse. Send me your resume." So I did. This job would be an answer to so many prayers I have prayed since November. There's no lifting, it's a day position and it's Monday thru Friday. I have teenagers that need me in the evening.
If you think of it, would you pray that God works this out for His glory? I will give Him all the thanks, honor and praise :)
Thank you

Well the church that I'm candidating at is, "very interested" in me. Unfortunately the senior pastor had to leave to perform a funeral so we didn't hear anything more than that from him, and that "very interested" only on a message on the church answering machine. So we were kind of left up in the air. He was supposed to come back from the funeral yesterday but again unfortunately while he was away he was going down some stairs and somehow snapped a tendon (which goes to show further why he wants to retire, his body just is failing him). So now he'll be home today, but we've left him a message telling him to call when he is up to it and to please rest and recover. Which leaves me up in the air but must be done, the guy needs rest!

So as of now a sort of carrot has been tossed my way but I'll have to wait a bit more to chew on it. Now we see why patience is a fruit of the spirit! Very interested is great but there are still a lot of questions, that I will get the answers to eventually.

[Tappanga]

Leaving my church's national day of prayer luncheon, I had a flatter-than-flat tire. So I'm without a car and really without money to have to fix it. Please pray! Thanks!

I just got off the phone with my grandmother. My uncle is dying. He had a bowel blockage, and when they opened him up to take a look they found cancer everywhere; liver, kidneys, stomach-wall... everywhere. He is unsaved and I will be going to witness to him again. Hopefully the end of his life before him, his heart will be softened. Please pray to that effect

Dear Lord,

Please soften BT's uncle's heart and open his ears to the witness BT will provide. Please clear BT's mind and fill his mouth with your love and your word. Lord, please lessen his uncle's pain and count him as one of your found sheep before you call him home.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Can you all pray for me now. I just had a big fight with my husband about an issue being talked about in the news. We are at two totally different ends of the spectrum on it and it has caused a major fight. I feel and I know I have reacted inappropriatly with anger, frustration and contemptment. I was well aware of my awful actions but couldn't stop it. The devil was winning my heart at that moment and just made me cry, scream, cry ,holler and cry. I have had a wonderful day, God has been so good to me today and to end it like this is crushing my spirit. I will go and talk and pray to God now about all the wrong I did and ask for forgiveness.....but I think I need some extra prayer. He has already gone to bed without a word spoken to me and is not prepared to talk about this anymore tonight. So , I need tomorrow morning help with words, attitute , strength, encouragement, love, compassion and a gentle spirit. I need released from this anger......Oh God I pray this with all of my heart, please be with me, please????

Just because you're saved doesn't mean that some fairy bopped you on the head with an anti-flesh-struggle wand, although I wish it were so, I say the dumbest things sometimes.
I hope I haven't overstepped my bounds, and if I did feel free to say so. I realize that I'm not there with you and can't possibly know how your husband will react. I can only go by my experience with my husband.
Is it too late to say a simple "I'm sorry we argued, can we talk about this tomorrow?" It would relieve a lot of anger and give you less to think about so you can sleep. It may show a little gentleness to your husband. A soft answer turneth away wrath and Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. and A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. You're not saying you were wrong in your beliefs, just sorry for arguing.
:pray: I'm praying for you and your husband :pray:

Continue to pray for deliverance from temptation and perhaps that the Lord would send me a wife someday :sigh: 'it is not good for man to be alone.' I just hope that I could serve her in all the ways possible.

So as of now a sort of carrot has been tossed my way but I'll have to wait a bit more to chew on it. Now we see why patience is a fruit of the spirit! Very interested is great but there are still a lot of questions, that I will get the answers to eventually.

I am honestly afraid to pray for patients, whenever I do, bad things happen. By the end of the day I usually just want to swear and pass out into unconciousness. :| But, I still pray for it.

[newbeliever02072005]

Thank you for your prayers. Unfortunately, we did go to bed without reconciling. However, I did ask for prayer here and then I went and prayed to God. I woke up with a fresher heart and made myself go to him and own up to my wrong doings. I felt bad for the anger that I was showing to him and certainly wasn't a great way to go about things. I was thankful to God that he was able to give me the strength to apologize to my husband. With my heart soften then he was able to have a soft heart as well. Which lead to us talking and coming to an undestanding. Once again, I have been proven that God will be there for you and he will help if you ask and willing to follow through with his answer. I thank you for taking the time out to help me with my dilemia I truly do appreciate it. :)

God Bless!

PS.....Dear Lord we thank you for your Love and Grace....how great you are. Please be with Mark during his daily walk. Open his eyes to the right path that will lead him to a wonderful, God fearing christian woman.

This isn't just a poem for recover only. It helps me put into perspective my ministry to others. It is my prayer for you.

The Serenity Prayer

(full text)

GOD, grant me the serenity

to accept the things

I cannot change,

Courage to change the

Things I can, and the

Wisdom to know the difference.

Living ONE DAY AT A TIME;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardship as the

Pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did, this

Sinful world as it is,

Not as I would have it.

Trusting that He will make

All things right if I

Surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy

In this life, and supremely

Happy with Him forever in

The next.

Amen



Reinhold Neibuhr-1926

My prayer request today is for woman that have been abused either emotionally, physically or sexually.

-------------------

Dear Lord....I come to you seeking your help in being with each woman that has been abused. Shower those woman with your loving kindness and hope and strength. Let them know that through you they can gain the strength to move themselves out of danger, out of harms range. That they need to reach out to someone that can help them with their situation. Lord I also ask that you be with the ones that are doing the abusing. Convict their hearts that they feel guilty, that they know they are doing wrong...that they need YOU to be a better person. Help those to know that abusing is not the answer to their problems. Let there be peace for everyone Dear Lord...I ask this in your Holy and Precious Name......Amen!

[newbeliever02072005]

Prayer request for today is for all of our troops serving near and abroad.

Hello Everyone,

Last night I went to my church's bible study. This study has been an on going study in the book of Revelation. I am not sure exactly how long, but its been over a year now they have been studying. Since I've become a new believer(February) in our Lord Jesus, my feelings of loving, learning and serving the Lord is very enormous. What I am afraid of is losing this feeling if I continue to go to this study. I can handle the stuff I am learning in the bible about Revelation, its the "theories" of how some of the signs are going to be. Such as, the internet is a possible method used by the anti-christ to keep track of all the people left here on earth. Coming to this conclusion by the "WWW" that is in the web addresses. Apparently the Hebrew language never had numbers. When they adopted the english numeric system. They assigned the letters numbers. W was assigned the number 6....which would give thought to the "www" or 666. That there is technology of a micro-chip being inserted into humans to track any information that person so desires. This chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Its injected through a syringe and then it bonds to the underskin. Making it almost impossible to remove. Then it was mentioned that scientist are able to now harnest some of the humans magnetic brain waves and convert it to radio waves which is then able to be directed back to the brain. This could be a possible way the anti-christ manipulates the minds of the people left on earth. I swear I thought as I was sitting there I was hearing the script of the movie "Total Recall" the one with Arnold. (Side note, weird coincidence, Arnold was being interviewed on Hanity and Colmes last night when I came home from this study:eek: )Then there was thoughts on what the mark of the beast is going to be....ie: credit cards & UPC codes. I keep hearing the "rapture is close". "We are so close we can taste it." "We christians wont need to worry about any of what is going to happen during the tribulation period cause we will be with God. BUT......we better be scared for our loved ones that are NOT saved. We better try our hardest to get them to come to know the Lord. " This is where my dilemia starts. My husband and others in the family are not saved. Coming home last night just was so frustrating cause I want so despartely for my loved ones to know the Lord. However, I also realize that I CANNOT bring them to the Lord. The only thing that I CAN do is be used as an instrument to bring them to the Lord if it is His will. How do I know what I should or shouldn't be doing for the Lord in His quest to bring my family's souls to Him? I feel so much pressure now.

I wonder if I should stop going to this bible study until I can get a better foundation and grounded in the Lord? Could I get some advice and prayers , please?

Thank you so much!
newbeliever :)My church has been having a Bible study of Revelation too for about the past 9 or 10 months. I am very glad that have never missed a single night of this... and hope not to! It is very important stuff to know, even if us Christians won't be here during all of that. You never know when there will be a time in your life to tell someone else about what you've learned from Revelation (even if it's not your own family). It's good knowledge to have so that you can share it with others who are not yet saved.

Anyway, about your dilemma with your family. I don't want to ask questions and get nosy but I want you to know that you CAN help lead them to the Lord. Just set yourself as an example for them. Others often learn and seek to know the Lord (eventually) by seeing a Christian's example of how they live. Like another poster said, I wouldn't suggest bombarding your family with Bible scriptures if it turns them off. But there are plenty of other ways to lead them to the Lord. Most importantly, pray to God about your desire for your family. Ask him to help get them to go to church with you.

Has you family ever seen the movie with Kirk Cameron called "Left Behind"? And the 2nd movie after that called "Left Behind II: Tribulation Force", also starring Kirk Cameron. For more information about it, go to

http://www.livingwaters.com/newsletter/october2002.htm

There is a 3rd movie called "Left Behind: World War III" that is in post-production. I am anxious to see it.

I have been a Christian most of my life and watched both these movies just last week. They are wonderful and may even help someone who is not saved, become saved. It goes right along with the book of Revelation.... so it might help to explain to a non-churchgoer certain points in the movie that they might not realize is stated in the Bible as truly going to happen. The movie is a real wake-up call for those who do not realize this is really going to happen.

The main thing I wanted to say to you is please don't stop going to your Bible Study. Don't let people who are not saved hold you back in your own Christian walk. Stopping your Bible Study should not be an option. In fact, I see stopping as only giving your unsaved family members a bad example. If anything, KEEP going -- they SEE your faith. This says a lot to them, even if they're not willing to admit it.

Hope this helped. :)

Hi Guys,

I would like to ask for the continued prayer of my church. Our pastor is in the process of retiring and we are starting to look for another one. I have been elected to a "Pulpit Committee" to select individuals for nomination to be the next pastor along with six other people. My prayer is that everyone in the committee has the right heart and that they are all sincerely praying for God's will to be done. I transfered from a church who recieved a new pastor who was not the best for the church. Lets just say it was a bad match and the church is ready to colapse but anyways I really do not want to see that going on here. Just keep in prayer that each person would have God's will in mind and that He would direct the right person to us, and when that person does come that He would make it evident to those on the committee and those in the congregation who would vote on it. Thank you very much guys.

This will sound like the silliest prayer rquest, but I still need it.

As a mother of a 2 and 4 yr old I have experienced (for the first time) the politics/ gossip of living in a small town in relation with an extra-curricular activity that my daughter *was* involved in. I am deeply hurt and it seems so strange to be hurt over something like this. I now can understand everything my own mother experienced as I was growing up and involved in activities as well.

Also, for the volunteers that they are safe and can work effectively bringing aid and comfort to these people.
(My mother is leaving in a few days with the Red Cross she herself just went through a similar devastation – she still struggles with at times. Keep her in your prayers that she will have the strength to share what she has learned through her experience to help,heal and grow)

Also for the leaders involved in decision making.

And of course that any way we can glorify God in all that we do in handling this disaster.

And Thank God for all the wonderful people out there that are going out of their way to find a way to assist. Bless them!

[Jesus7Lives]

I have been asked to candidate in a church in Edmonton. Which is great news.

Edmonton is almost exactly on the other side of the country from me. Which means that we would pick up everything and leave everything we know and everyone who is so important to us (not the least of all our church family) and pursue God's will.

At one point in my life I answered the call with a, "Yes Lord!" and said that I was willing to do anything and go anywhere that He wanted. I just didn't expect it to be so far :sorry: .

I didn't really struggle with the decision because when they asked me they said, "Are you willing to go to Edmonton?" Ack!!! If only they'd said, "Do you want to go to Edmonton?" Ha!

I was driving in my car, home from work one day last week and I was thinking... man, what a sacrifice. Then a still small voice said to me, "Yeah the cross was a sacrifice too, so what are you willing to sacrifice?" Ack! (I hate when that happens). So I said, "Anything you want."

So now the process has begun and we'll find out in a few weeks whether or not I'll be flying out to Edmonton to preach and be interviewed by the board and the church. So please pray for us that God's will be done, regardless of what makes us comfortable.

Amen! I will pray for you brother. God's will is the most powerful of all. Leaving your life behind and pusueing it takes great courage. God's army (on the front line) takes the brunt of the work. Missionaries have put their lives on the line for God! It is truly amazing, the power of God!:amen:

I'm failing school...

I failed university last year (away from home), so I came back home to settle down and go to community college. I am taking math/accounting/computers and math was always my weakness. The course I wanted to take was full so that's why I'm in this. I want to go to paramedic school next year away from home and I won't be able to if I don't get through this year. I also feel really bad because my mom's paying for my school this year and she does NOT have the money to do this.

For Pastor Kyle Lake, his widow Jennifer, and the three young children he left behind: Avery, Sutton, and Jude. He was a Baylor Bear, and this happened during Homecoming :( so please add to the list the Baylor Family. When one Bear passes on then we all suffer.

Lord, please watch over all members of the Baylor Family, Jennifer, Avery, Sutton, and Jude, the baptismal candidate, the congregation, and especially the little ones that witnessed their pastor's death.

My mom's packing up to leave my stepdad. She started last night and she was on the phone, fell off a chair and bruised and cut her leg bad. I am a firefighter with some medical background, plan on going to Paramedic school next year, and to me it looked gross so that just tells you.

I have a fire department banquet, dinner and dance November 19th. And getting baptized November 20th. I have a meeting this Sunday about church membership.

If we move, I would lose my car and have to leave my fire department as well. I want to go to Paramedic School in another province and my mom hates to be alone, so I don't see going to school happening. My mom also does not have a good financial situation either.

I met in September with the recruiting sgt. at the local Army base about Army reserves (part-time during school year, thursday nights, and full time for the summer). I couldn't find a full-time job last summer and I'm always available thursday nights...

Anyways, I could join in October but it was too soon, so I was told I could start in February, which is very fast approaching and I am not in the physical shape I'd like to be in yet. I have been working at it more lately. I gave up on the Army reserves idea but quite recently it's been in my mind more and I am going to start working on my application.

When they called I didn't inform them that they interviewed me in the summer and never called me back. I went in for an interview and they have two interviews, the first one they tell you about them and I didn't get to talk about myself.

I am doing really poor in a few of my classes and excelling in one particular class. The end of the semester is approaching and I am extremely overwhelmed.

I had 45% in Accounting and found out today that's now down to 39% and passing is 60% at my school... My mom is paying for it, and she does not have the money to do it either and I feel horrible. It is just not really something that interests me.

Please quickly pray for her!

[searchingforGodlyanswers]

Please pray for me, that God permanently remove my physical pain if it be in His will. The pain is usually in my neck, inbetween my shoulder blades and in my forehead. I have had many different diagnoses and opinions. Earlier ones by chiropractors were calcium deposit in neck and scoliosis. Another chiropractor said it was a congenital deformity in my neck or extra growth and my pain was mostly muscular. I think it could be a spur even or arthritis. Have more recently been diagnosed with tension headache and migraine. Also physical therapist said it could be precious muscle injury (ies) that never healed right. Sprained back, but that has gotten better and I don't want to resprain it again. Feet sometimes ache in ankles and on the bottoms. Someone else mentioned the "growing pains" I had as a child could have been arthritis.
Sometimes the pain is so bad I writhe (and sometimes moan) and feel like crying but can't allow it because I know it may make it worse....:cry: :( Sometimes it feels so bad it seems like nothing will help it, and sometimes it gets so bad...
I want to know exactly what it is, but it does seem to be migraines caused by tension headaches or some sort of physical problem...
I also want to know what God wants me to do with this pain, suffer and endure it, or for me to go through healing...
Please pray for me in this area, Thank you.

Also please pray for me to be led to and know which church is the one God wants me in, as we have just moved into first house together, husband, daughter, and I.

[searchingforGodlyanswers]

Would like prayers for my insulin-dependent diabetic mother with an already weakened heart as she is in the hospital, to sum it up:
Went in with severe nosebleed accompanied by severe facial pain and swelling (especially the nose and lips) as well as bodily pain~taken off coumadin (blood thinner) temporarily~had plasma transfusions~plasma led to fluid in the lungs~led to heart failure (but not heart attack)~nose packed with tootsie roll type apparatus~put on ventilator then respirator~ at first on Tylenol that did not help her pain but then put on morphine~tubes all up in arms~going to be watched carefully and hopefully released on Saturday.
I also want prayer that she does not get sent back to the previous department where she was and that she will receive excellent care by people who care enough to know what's going on in the department where she is now in the ICU and who will also do what's right by family members.
Here's a longer version of it. I just summarized it up for you.
http://www.christianforums.com/t2383797-please-quickly-pray-for-my-parents-and-me.html
Also prayers that my pain relief is permanent. Thought I had resprained my shoulder but turns out that I aggravated or am under enough stress that I feel out of it enough not to feel it. Had to pop a couple pills, do some physical therapy exercise, and put some biofreeze on it (chiropractic pain ointment) yesterday. I seem fine now, just been feeling like a hectic day for me.

Thank you for any prayers you do for my parents and me.

http://www3.christianforums.com/images/icons/icon2.gif Another update


My mother is still in the hospital, but she is talking better now and on a regular floor instead of the cardiac unit. They are keeping her longer to run tests to make sure she is healthy enough to go back to her house and getting better. They took her to x-ray to see if she has pneumonia, and she is running a fever of a little above 99 F. So far all I have heard is that she has in infection. They also asked her for a urine sample. Her feet have started hurting so much that she needs assistance walking to the bathroom and does not seem to even want to do that, and no one seems to know the reason why, but her nurse for today mentioned her blood pressure levels could be doing it- (like the medicine is bringing it down low and that's could cause it), but I also have achy feet in the mornings so I don't know.... :(
They have pulled all the stuffings out of her nose and she is no longer bleeding.
They are going to have to put her back on the coumadin because of her heart and the greater risk of a clot as opposed to her bleeding so severely again.
I went and visited her in the hospital. My dad told me it would have hurt me just to look at her before. She will need much help doing things when she gets out, and it just seemed like when she was supposed to go home was dragged on to Sunday and now the nurse says it may be a couple more days... But that would be better to make sure she is at the level where she can go back home than for her to have to go back into the hospital after coming home...:prayer:

Thank you all for continuing praying for my mother. You all are such a great blessing. :)

I'm only allowed taking 3 classes this semester because I failed some last semester.

I am taking Accounting (I failed it) Tuesdays 6-9pm, starting January 24.
Math at school Monday and Tuesday for an hour, Wednesday for 2 hours. (First thing in the morning), I had also failed math.
Document Processing II online.

So, now I'm looking for a job.

I also wrote a supplemental test because I got 54 in Office Procedures and 60 is pass, so I might get credit for that course after all. I failed Math and Accounting badly.

I am having financial problems I had a 1999 dodge grand caravan about 3 years ago I lost my job so I got it repoed they sold it and never contacted me to let me know how much I owed on it after they sold it so about 8 months ago they started taking money out of my checking account without me knowing they have probably took about 2000 dollars out of my checking account and now they have also put a garnishment on my check leaving me with very little to get by with i called the company and tried to set up payment arrangements and they told me if I send at least $500 a month they would take the garnishment off and quit putting a legal hold on my checking account if I could afford that I would have kept my van. I even told them we had six kids to take care of and they told me that was not their problem so please pray that god helps me through this

We had a leak in our basement ceiling in the spring/summer. We have a dishwasher that broke a long, long time ago that we don't use, obviously. So we thought that was the problem.

Got the basement ceiling fixed. We have a plumber friend.

Well, in late Nov/early Dec we had the hole fixed by a guy... and it looked like nothing had ever happened (painted and filled and stuff, and it was a HUGE hole by the way). We also had our basement walls painted, and wanted PEACH (stepdad's idea), well it turned out to be bright pumpkin orange... but anyways it was like $500 by the time all was done in the basement, and the only time it's used is when I exercise down there.

Guess what. I noticed a drop of water on the ceiling when I was down exercising a couple weeks ago. Didn't think too much of it, it was really small but I watched it anyway. It's a huuuuuuuuuuge mess now, it is getting really bad.

1) we thought the problem went away
2) we delayed fixing it because of money, and then finally thought all was ok and it was ok for awhile
3) we don't have the money to fix this

My nephew Greg is having his cochlear implant replaced next Monday. The old implant that he has had since he was 8 is malfunctioning and he had to decide between having it removed or replaced. He has always said that he didn't ever want the surgery again, but he has consented to it now. The technology has changed a lot and he may even hear better now, but he'll have to learn how to hear all over again, with speech therapy and the whole works. Please keep him in your prayers for the surgery and for the transition and adjustment that he will have to go through. Thanks!

My cousin's in the hospital having her first baby... and my family isn't close at all... because of my aunts.

[collegekid4christ]

I know this is probably a silly prayer request, but I've been arguing with my friend lately. I feel that she is wrongly judging me. I feel that she's beginning to act self-righteous...Also, I have said some things out of anger to her because of it and by now, well, she's ignoring me...she's one of my fellow christian friends. Lately, that's all we've been doing-arguing and what's worse, it's been like this for months. I tell her I'm sorry, but every time I do, she never says anything in reply...the following day, she acts like nothing ever happened..I don't get it? she's been giving me the "cold shoulder" treatment for days! It's getting worse as time goes by. I've prayed about it and nothing has happened. I don't know what I'm doing wrong ???

I've had the same thing happen with my friend months ago. Praying for this to ease up.It's hard isn't it? Gosh.. :( makes it hard to just talk to them.

The members of the fire department are going to have a vote on Monday about my membership, to see if I can become a member.

There is a 6 month probation period and then after that there is a vote (I didn't know about the vote) but anyway my probation was up awhile ago but anyway.

I am really, really nervous about the results and I hope I can stay involved. I have perfect attendance and I am very dedicated. I just ask for prayers for their decision.

The vote is Monday night... and I am really getting suspicious and things are not making sense. I'm quite concerned.

Also, my parents are going to look at a house that is in a nice town with a GREAT fire department, one of the best, and they are LOOKING FOR MEMBERS. I really want to live there and my mom says it's her "dream home". They are worried they won't have the finances!!!!

We didn't like that house, it was a disaster on the inside.

Haven't heard the results from Monday's vote yet and there are courses all day Saturday and Sunday but I have to be a member to go and I don't know yet.

I had two car accidents yesterday.
1) Someone rear-ended me at a red light.
2) I lost control when I hit ice and snow and flipped over in a ditch (it was really steep) and I was trapped.

Now today there is a bad snowstorm.

Please help convict the smokers and drinkers that they are ruining their lives by continuing their bad habits. Give them good reasons to quit and by doing so, show them how to have faith in you.

-To get into paramedic school (I thought of a firefighting course but there's nowhere to live, and it's waaaaaaaaay more expensive, another fire school will teach you in 4 days what the other one takes 22 weeks to do) so I really want to take paramedicine

-To find a job

-Getting my eyes checked Tuesday, it is needed to apply for the firefighting course, but I will go anyway I guess... the firefighting program wanted a medical and the deadline is Feb. 28 and there's also physical testing... I won't get the medical done... I just really need to get into the paramedicine course now.

[California Dreamin']

-There are also two other courses at the paramedic school which interest me: Health Unit Coordinator and Medical Clerk.

-My mom knows people opening a gift shop and they want someone to work Saturdays and some Sundays, my mom (and her boss) told them about me.

There is a Christian outreach ministry here, a pregnancy centre. They had a bowling day yesterday and I really wanted to go but didn't get the chance. I have been thinking about volunteering there for YEARS, but they are only open 2-3 afternoons a week and before I was in high school. Now I am free every day except the mornings Mon-Wed, so I have the time.

Well, my mom goes to KFC/Pizza Hut everyday for lunch and I have been going lately as well. They LOVE my mom. I decided to go in with my resume this morning.

This afternoon my stepdad showed me a job ad in the paper. The garage across the street from where my mom works is looking for a front desk person part-time. They also LOVE my mom and give her free oil changes and stuff, I've gone there for things too. So, I called up and the owner answers and he is like "Who's this?" and I said "Kelly" and he said he had caller ID and figured it was me. He told me to come right down with my resume so I did. He wanted to know how I got interested in the job ad, and I said that I am taking the Administrative Assistant course at college, so I think that helped. He said he is waiting a week to get more people and then will probably call me because of my mom... lol

[JPPT1974]

And that you will only be helped

I was friends with a guy named Jordan in jr. high & high school. He has a younger brother named Matthew.

Well, I was at the post office today to mail some stuff for my college applications and their mother works there, but she was not working today. There was a box on the counter and Matthew has leukemia, they found out 3 weeks ago. He is at the children's hospital an hour from here and everything is quite expensive and she is also a single mom.

I was trying to figure out how old he would be, and my guess is 15-16.
