Another Update on Stacey...

Praise the Lord! Stacey is home from the hospital and is doing great!

The doctors determined that what she was experiencing was from migranes. They told her that in some people migranes manifest themselves with stroke-like symptoms... I have never heard of this before!

She has a follow-up appointment next week, but praise the Lord she has not had a stroke! Let's pray that the Lord heal her from the migranes!

Have a great weekend and thanks so for joining me in prayer!

Blessings!

Update on Stacey

Good Morning Prayer Warriors....

Stacey called me this morning before I could get a chance to call her, she sounds very good. All her tests continue to come back with good results, and she is currently having an echo done...

I just have to share what she shared with me this morning. The Lord spoke to her through His Word this morning, this is what she read that ministered so to her heart and spirit...

Psalm 34:3-7

Glorify the Lord with me;
Let us exalt His name together.

I sought the Lord and He answered me;
He delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
He saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he deliverers them.

Please continue to pray for Stacey and her family... thanks for praying with me! And may this encourage you to turn to the Word and to the Lord in all things....

He has already astounded so many!

Update as of 3/10/09

UPDATED PRAYER NEED: We have been praying for Jennifer, and she needs our prayers again. She is expecting and has been bleeding and clotting in her uterus. Doctors thought she was miscarrying the baby on March 7. She never passed a clot, and when she went to the doctor today, there was a strong heartbeat. THE BABY IS ALIVE! Mother and baby's lives still remain in danger as long as she continues to bleed...so MUCH prayer is needed. This is a miracle! Praise the Lord...and please join me in asking for more miracles for sweet Jennifer...who has already lost her precious Isaiah and another little one from this condition. Please tell every prayer warrior you know and get on your knees on behalf of this precious mother and her family. Please visit her here: http://hoster777.blogspot.com/2009/03/unbelievable.html , and let her know you're praying.

Thank you so much for your prayers...please keep praying!

Update as of 3/6/09

Please lift Jennifer up as she did not get good news at her doctor's appointment today... you can go here to read her blog and to leave her words of encouragement or a prayer... thank you for praying...

The following prayer request was forwarded to me from a friend I have made through blogging, please join me in lifting Jennifer and her precious unborn baby up to the throne of grace, she needs our prayers now... these are her words...

This morning I got really bad cramps, to the point were I could hardly walk or sit down. About an hour later the cramps were letting up, and then there was some pink spotting.

I called the doctor, and had an appointment at 1:00 this afternoon. My doctor was not in today, so I had to see someone else that is not familiar to the problems that I had in my last pregnancy with Isaiah.

While he was doing the ultrasound we could see the baby, and above it was a formation of a blood clot. It is about the size of a walnut, and it was not there last Tuesday, that's less than a week ago! He told me that all we can do right now is watch and wait. My doctor whom I usually see, told me last week that if there were to be a clot again in this pregnancy, she is going to be very concerned.

I go on Friday for another ultrasound to see what everything looks like, unless my doctor chooses to do so sooner.

I cannot even begin to tell you about the fear that this has put in me. It's like going through the pregnancy all over again with Isaiah. Unless God intervene and does a miracle, I fear that the same exact thing is going to happen with this baby and the chance of me dying.

I am just going to be blunt; I CANNOT GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

I don't want to be knocking on death's door with myself and loose another child because my body seemed to forget how to take care of a baby in my womb.

Please pray hard. Pray on your knees. Call your friends. Call prayer warriors that you know. I know that God can heal, he saved me on August 3, 2008 the night I lost my son. He saved my oldest son who had a brain tumor in May 2007. May God show me and my family His grace and mercy straight from the throne room. Straight from His powerful hands. Straight from His word spoken against this hold on me and my family.

PLEASE GOD

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Prayer for Mrs. Mary

Update as of 3/17/09... Mrs. Mary came through her surgery remarkably well and came home from the hospital on Sunday! She has had to take NO pain medication other than tylenol or aleve and only that on a couple of occasions! That just amazes me! What a powerful testimony to the power of prayer!

Please continue to pray for her as she recovers from surgery, and as she goes to meet with the oncologist to talk about further treatment... you can go here to read more about Mrs. Mary. Thanks so much for joining me in praying for this precious saint of God!

Still praying....




Prayer Warriors,
Please be in prayer for Mrs. Mary... she is a precious lady of God and a mighty prayer warrior. She serves and prays for others so selflessly, and Jesus and the joy of the Lord just radiate from her.

She has breast cancer and today found out that it has spread to her lymph nodes... she is scheduled for surgery on Friday, 3/13/09.

She has great peace and has total and complete trust in the Lord, and wants only for Him to be glorified through her life. Our church family gathered around her tonight and lifted her up in prayer, what a sweet and precious time it was...

Please pray for God's touch of healing upon her body, pray for the surgery on Friday, and pray for her family to have peace and comfort as they are there with her through this time. Thank you so very much for your prayers...

Prayer for Wyatt

Update as of 3/2/09

I received some wonderful news today and wanted to share it with all of you who are praying for Wyatt... The family received the reports from the tests that have been run, and Wyatt's tumor was downgraded from a grade two to a grade one, which is considered benign!! What a huge praise this is! What a wonderful answer to prayer! He has what is called juvenille pilocytic astrocytomoa, and he will continue to have MRIs every 6 months to watch it.

However, they still need our prayers.... as a result of his intubation (they think) he has a paralyzed vocal cord and he did not pass a swallowing test, therefore he had to have a feeding tube put in his stomach. Please pray for the function of his vocal cord to return fully and that the muscles and nerves that control his swallow would also return to normal function. He is still in the hospital but they are now in a private room.

We know our God is the Great Physician and is able to touch and heal, look what He has already done for this precious little one, please continue to join me in prayer for Wyatt and his family. Thank you so very much!

Below is the initial prayer request from February 22, 2009

Hey Everyone
I would like to ask you to pray for a 4 year old little boy named Wyatt.

He has been diagnosed with brain cancer... they do not yet have a course of treatment planned out, they are in the process of figuring all that out.

Also remember his parents, Kelly and Jim... They have one other child and Kelly is pregnant with their 3rd due in May.

Jim had been out of town and Wyatt was in the bed with his mom and had a seizure. The seizure led to the discovery of cancer...

Please join me in lifting this family to the throne of grace and praying for a touch of God upon this precious little one's body, for divine appointments for them, and for every need to be met. Thank you so much! I will post updates as I get them...

Prayer for Brandon

Update as of 3/2/09

You can go HERE to read an update about Brandon, he seems to be doing very well but they continue to need our prayers. Thanks so much for joining me in praying for this precious family!

Praying still...


Please be in prayer for Brandon, the precious 4 month old son of a wonderful friend of mine, Susan. I first met Susan through the prayer ministry at a church we both used to attend. She had a broken heart at the time, but had given it all over to the Lord and was totally dependent on and in trusting in Him to work His will out in her life. Her prayers were not answered in the way we all wanted them to be answered at the time, but I can say that God has answered her prayers and has now blessed her with a wonderful husband and a precious son. Susan is a wonderful friend and we will forever have a bond because of all the time we spent in prayer together. Please join me in praying for her son and their family...

Brandon had surgery today (January 5, 2009) for hip dysplasia and came through the surgery well. Please be in prayer for him and his family (Susan and Jim) as they now embark on the journey of caring for Brandon as he recovers. I have included some information below about his surgery, and you can click here to visit their blog.

The surgery will be performed at Children’s Hospital and is the next phase of treatment for Brandon’s hip dysplasia, a condition that he was born with. For those of you interested in the “cliff notes” version regarding his recovery: Brandon will be in a Spica body cast for 3 to 4 months post-surgery as his hip heals. The cast will begin at Brandon’s armpits and extend down to his ankles. Although we first found this news to be very daunting, we’ve had some time to accept it and know that we are doing what’s best for Brandon. After the body cast is removed, Brandon must wear braces for 6 months to a year. For those of you who are just now finding out about Brandon’s condition and his need for surgery, you may want to click on this link (http://pockstallers.wordpress.com/brandons-hip-dysplasia/ ) to learn more about his diagnosis and the logistics of how we will care for him during his recovery.

Thank you so much for your prayers for Brandon and his parents!
