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

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

Prayer for Courtnee

Hey guys,

I am not sure all of the details yet, but Courtnee Mattioli's mom is in the hospital. She has a mass on her lung. They were hopefully going to do surgery today sometime. I will post more as I know. Please keep Courtnee, Courtnee's mom, and her family in your prayers.

Just heard from Stephanie Yearwood, and her mom will have a biopsy on her lung tomorrow and surgery on Friday. She is on iv fluids and having blood transfusions. I will update when I know more.

Moving Help Needed

Hello everyone. This is just a call for help. It's a little early, but we wanted to go ahead & get the word out. Leslie & I are supposed to "close" on our new house on April 24th. If this, is indeed, the date that we close, then we are going to move that Saturday & Sunday (25th & 26th).

So, guys and girls, we are asking for help moving on those days. (or either or). We will have the stuff packed & the moving truck, etc. The only thing that we will need are able bodies to help us move. We would really appreciate the help.

Thanks alot,

Chad and Leslie
