Prayer Request from Ned

Hello,

I have a friend who is in his mid 40's who called and told me he had a doctors appointment and it was revealed he had a possible life threatening heart condition. He is not sure and it may be nothing but he goes to a specialist the next few days to learn more. He asked that we pray for him. His name is Taylor and he is a great guy and he has given clear testimony that he loves the Lord.

Thanks,

Ned Rossini

Update on Tracy & Trevor

I just got back from visiting Tracy and she is doing good. She is excited because they were in the process of releasing her early (today instead of Thursday). Tracy and Craig were going to Children’s as soon as she is released to visit Trevor. They didn’t seem to have much new news on Trevor. She said he is doing fine right now but to continue praying for him. They do not know when he’ll get to come home.

LGNS 4/12/09

Here is this week's LGNS. Hope everyone has a good week.

Bates' Moving Date

Hello all. I know that we had asked in class before something about needing help on the day when we are going to be moving. Well, we know when that date is going to be now. ;o) We are going to be moving into our new house on Saturday, April 25th. I am not for sure about the times yet (i.e., the time that we are going to begin moving, but it will be early in the morning).

So, as Leslie & I asked before, we would really appreciate whatever help that we could get on that day moving out of our apartment and into our house. We will let anyone that is going to help us know more exact details as time draws nearer.

Thank you & hope to see you all on Sunday,

Chad & Leslie

Thanks,

Ashleigh

Chad's Grandfather (Pop)

Hello everyone. I wanted to write & let you know about something that I didn't ask for prayer requests yesterday about, b/c we (as a family) were still waiting on results, etc. My grandfather had to go to the ER this weekend b/c of chest pains. They thought he may have had a heart-attack... To make a long story short, I was called this morning by my dad & told that they performed surgery on him last night, they had to place one stint inside one of his arteries (fortunately not the "main" artery). He was still in pain, however seemed to be resting well this morning. The doctors are waiting on the "course of action" to take next, depending on how my Pop (& his heart) react to what has been done so far.

I would just like to ask for prayer for both he & my Granny while they are going through this. Thank you all.

Cline Family Request

Please pray for Mike's grandmother, Inez. She is home from the hospital, but she is very weak and it does not appear that things will get any better. They are keeping her medicated very well to alleviate pain, but... Pray for his Aunt Neta as she is the primary caregiver for Maw and she is struggling very hard with this. Neta does not deal with death at all so this is beginning to take its toll on her and she is letting her health slip some because of it too. Thank you so much in advance for your prayers for them.

More Prayer Requests

Hello all. There are more prayer requests that we need to pray for members of our class. They are listed below....

Cline:

I have just received word that my brother-in-law's mother has passed. Please pray not only for him, but the entire family as this as his mother was not financially prepared for this event nor was the entire family. Pray for the burial process and that it can be taken care of without too much controversy or family strife.

Thanks
Lisa

Sherrod:

Please pray for the Sherrod family. Things are "iffy" with the place that Randy works because of the auto industry and GM being their primary contract. The Sherrod's know that the Lord will provide for them through all of it. They appreciate your intercessory prayer.

Rossini:

Hello,
I wanted to give an update on my grandfather and say thanks for the prayers but I am asking we continue to pray for him. As I stated yesterday, he had a series of strokes over the past few days. The doctors say he will have to be in a wheel chair, he can't drive, and can't be left alone. Also, his condition will never improve (according to the doctors). As you can imagine this is hard on the family because he is such a strong guy and an all around great person. Really what I pray for though is for God's will to be done. I pray the family accepts God's will and puts their faith (Forsaking All I Trust Him) in Him knowing that God knows exactly what needs/must/and will be done. It is also my prayer that my family members who do not truly know God and do not have an intimate relationship with Christ will come to know him during this process. On a personal level for me, I have every ounce of faith humanly possible that what ever will happen is carried out by God himself. This is a great knowledge to have because I also know He is the True King and Master and His ways are so supremely perfect that whether I understand them or not is an irrelevant part of the equation. I praise God for this situation and something to think about is: if it hurts this bad on the inside for me and my family, and God who loves us so much, it must pain him to hurt us yet he would allow this pain in our lives, just imagine what it will be like to be in His presence for one brief moment when the pain of this world seems like a drop in the ocean compared to the glory of being with God in heaven. (As Pastor Phil says, you have to know the bad news before you know the good news so the good news is truly good news.) Please pray these prayers and intentions with me.

Thanks,
Ned

2 Prayer requests

Here are 2 prayer requests from class members:

LifeGroup Member: Ned Rossini

This is Ned and I wanted to get a prayer request out for my grandfather. He had a series of strokes this morning and he is at the hospital. He lives in Arkansas and we are not sure how he is doing. This has happened before and he was fine but we are waiting for someone to get a definite statement and let my family know what is going on. He is almost 90 and any health issue is serious when you are 90. He is a strong guy so I think he will be alright but if you would pass this along I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Ned Rossini

Our friend Amanda is having surgery tomorrow to remove the tumor on her vertebrae. It is about an 8 hour surgery and extremely intensive. Please pray for their entire family and for the doctors that will be working on her.

Thanks,

Problems Posting????

Hello everyone. I just wanted to make sure that no one is having trouble posting to the blog. I received some e-mails from Lisa this morning with prayer requests attached to them, which I will definitely pray for, however I wanted to make sure that everyone is also still able to post to the blog, so that these prayer requests can also go out this way to everyone in the class.

So, if you are having any trouble, please let me know.

Thanks,

Chad
