Prayer Requests

Do you know how long it was?

How long what was? The keyboard? I believe it was a normal length :) It would have been pretty neat if it was longer! =D

I saw Micki again yesterday evening, and her rib is healed! PTL! However, in her words, "it was caused by some muscle and back issues." She didn't ask for prayer, but I think we should give it to her anyway. What do you all think? :-D

No, I mean like the length of the piano in the direction that the strings extend. If you're not familiar with different sizes you probably don't remember.

Oh. Uh….I'm not exactly sure, but if I'm estimating correcty, I'm guessing 6 feet long :) why do you want to know?

Oh just curious. :) I love pianos, so I'm always interested in talking about them and experiences peoples have had with them. ;)
I have a 6'2" in my house so awesome! It's just barely long enough for me to call it a semi-concert grand! :D (IKR!? Who has those in their living rooms?? I'm one blessed girl! Except that I can't play it, but that's a story for another day. :( )

So, are you going to tell the story tomorrow? :)

We have a grand piano at our church (not sure how long it is). We rent from another church, so we walked in one Sunday and we were like, WOW!!!! This is awesome!!!!! I've been able to play on that one ever since. :)

Why can't you play it? :( That's sad!! BTW, how are your arms doing?

Please pray for my mom. She is having complications that she shouldn't be having during pregnancy, (She's 7 months along) Please pray for healing and that the baby will be alright, that everything will be okay!! (With this condition we'll have to induce 3 weeks early at the latest,) She's not doing very well, Please pray!!

EDIT: 11:41: she's on her way to hospital, may be dehydrated. Please pray!
EDIT 2: she is at the hospital on IV …please pray!
EDIT 3: 4:00 Daddy said they'll be coming home soon, PTL, but please keep praying!!
EDIT 4: she is home now, but still having issues. Thanks for praying, keep it up! :)
EDIT 5: 11:00 am - she's going to a hospital about an hour away - not sure how long she'll be there - please, pray!!

I'm praying! That must be scary for all of you. :(

@All - please pray for Johnathan! (I mentioned this on the last page, too) On the 16th, he'll be three months old and should be able to avoid having the surgery. Please pray that his oxygen stays far above 75 for at least the next six days!! I guess if he needs the surgery before he's big enough to handle it, he could have a stroke or something. It would be awesome if he could wait at LEAST until December before he has to have the surgery.

Yes, thank you! I'll update my post as I know what's happening.

Oh dear! I will be praying. And, is it alright if we share your prayer request on Sunday with our church?

I'll be praying for your mom, Rachel, and I'll be praying for Johnathan, Bethany!

I'll be praying!

******PLEASE PRAY for Mommy - she is going into surgery tomorrow to help with her gallbladder. As Daddy said "To unclog a duct". I'm not sure all what it involves, but her gallbladder is seriously infected and will need to be removed after baby's born.
Please pray for her and the baby, which she is 7 months pregnant with. Please pray that everything will go right and that she and baby will come through safe. She's having an MRI after 4 and then surgery tomorrow.
PLEASE PRAY!!!! *******
EDIT: surgery is tomorrow, MRI today. Please pray!!
EDIT: she's not having her gallbladder removed, sorry I got it confused. I edited my main post.

I'll be praying!

Praying!!!

I'll be praying! :(

Thank you so much for praying! :) We really appreciate the prayers!
BTW, I added an edit to my post above.

Surgery today at 10 am, please pray!

Thanks so much for praying, all!

I'm praying! Please keep us updated!
@Leah: Oh no :( I'll be praying!

@Rachel: Oh, dear! I am definitely praying!

Still praying!

Thank you all so much for praying!! My mother's surgery is over now, and PTL it went very well! She is recovering, please continue to pray! :)

Oh, that's so good! So everything is alright now? Will you be able to come to Nationals?

No, she still has some things that need to be dealt with after the baby is born. And no, prolly not :(

Okay. :(

Just a quick update on Mrs. J. she was doing so much better for a while, but it seems she is going down hill. They're not sure if her body can handle another collapse, and she seems very near it. We're not really sure how to ask people to pray, but if you could just pray for God to give complete wisdom and peace in regards to the many descisions they have to make. And like I said earlier, she has ten kids, and if she doesn't make it, it is going to be really tough.

Rachel and Priscilla: Still praying!!

I think I'll be seeing him today, so I'll try to post an update this afternoon or tomorrow sometime.
@Rachel - still praying!!!!!
@Leah - I'll be praying! We've had a lot of car problems, so I know how it feels.

Thank you all so much for praying!! My mother's surgery is over now, and PTL it went very well! She is recovering, please continue to pray! :)

PTL!

I'll b praying.

Oh wow! Praying for your mom's recovery!!

I can't play my piano very much because my arms hurt when I do. :(

Thank you all for praying! :) I was able to visit Mom at the hospital this afternoon/evening and she is doing well, as far as we know. Please continue to pray! :)

Madi: oh dear, that's soooo sad! ;'(

@Madi: I'm really sorry :( I'll be praying that your arms will stop hurting very soon!
@Ashley: Oh no!!! :( :( I'll be praying!

Oh no! I'll pray. Are you coming to the memverse meeting at nats?

I really need to ask prayer for our church right now, it seems like we have so many people in church going through huge health problems, or relationship problems, or something like that, and when one member hurts, the whole body hurts, so our church has been praying that God would be able to use all of this to help us share his gospel with more people. Suffering can be a megaphone for the gospel if it is handled in a godly way. I know I've asked prayer for Mrs. J. she isn't doing well, then there is Mrs. B. mother of ten children as well, she has cancer, and she has several hard months of treatment, then Mr. and Mrs. H. have been having some struggles in their relationship, the list could go on, but we are just praying that through everything, people would see that even when life is tough, God is good.
Through Mrs. B and her cancer, she was able to lead a young lady to the Lord, simply because of her good attitude through it all, so please pray that we as a church, can proclaim God's goodness to the community.

Wow, I'll be praying, Priscilla!

@Everyone - update on Johnathan - he is doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!! His oxygen is back up, closer to where it should be, and he doesn't need surgery until late Nov. or early Dec. It's really nice because he has no idea that anything is wrong, and he is a really happy little guy.
About our church situation - we have a candidate coming on the 31st who will be preaching on November 3rd. Please pray that that goes well! Thanks!

@Priscilla and Bethany: I'll be praying!

We will keep praying thank you for keeping us updated.

Hey everyone - please be in constant prayer for my mom. I caught the stomach bug 3 days ago and we thought that's what she had but she couldn't sleep because she was sick all night so my dad took her to the hospital. It's 2:35 in the morning, they just left 5 minutes ago and my grandpa is coming. Please pray that she is going to be okay - I am soooooooooo worried about her. THank you!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be praying, Annalysa! My mom is coming home from being at the hospital today, so I know exactly how you feel!

Thank you Rachel! She is home now and resting…hopefully we have found some natural medicine that will help her, it's called activated charcoal. ikr? it's sounds gross but everyone i've talked to says it works (that i know of)

Yes, I've heard activated charcoal works for "calming the stomach" ;) Hope it works for your mom!!

Just don't drink fire-water with it.

I'll be praying for you all!

Thanks Madi and Ian…It's going to take a while I think…my grandma's out of town (of all the weeks she had to leave, it had to be the one when we need her the most!) and my dad has to work tomorrow so unless there's someone who wants to come and help, I"ll be on my own for like, 5 -6 hours… thanks for your prayers: don't stop!!!!!! :)

I'll be praying!

PTL, mom is now home! Keep praying that her gallbladder will not act up, and that she'll be able to stay home! :)
