swine flu

feeds@yuku.com (everythingsused) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 08:22:56 GMT

Prayers are needed for my youngest-Hunter. He has the swine flu- at least I think it's swine flu because of the stomach problems. Anyway, he is not feeling very well at all and I don't want this to spread to the rest of my family.
Thanks!

prayers of comfort needed

feeds@yuku.com (everythingsused) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 20:55:02 GMT

Hi,
Please ask for prayers of comfort for my kids, Thomas, Taylor,Connor and Hunter- their puppy was killed by another animal today- I will be breaking the news to them tomorrow. They were looking for her all morning, I found her this afternoon, very grateful that they didn't find her first- it's not something I wanted them to see.
They have been praying for her and asking about her all day. My husband wasn't able to bury her until tonight and we thought it best...

Our church is having a reunuion camp all this week, under fairly primitive conditions (since we haven't had the time or funds to fully develop it yet), no electricty or running water. And it is very hot this week, high 90's (heat index into the 100's) Please pray for the camp. Pray that we might receive the blessing the Lord has in store for us. Thanks!

Tech School

feeds@yuku.com (gfleece) — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:03:06 GMT

I am considering a technical school in which I can earn 4 microsoft certifications for different things. The program is very good by most accounts and I, on my aptitude test, scored in the 99th percentile of those working in the field already. My problem is funding. I do not qualify for the financial assistance with my credit. Bad luck and circumstance. I need a cosigner. I am praying for wisdom in moving forward with this program, which for the last two years has a 100% job placement...

my oldest sister

feeds@yuku.com (everythingsused) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:58:17 GMT

Hi,
my oldest sister is in the hospital right now. She has the flu and it has reacted badly with her diabetes. She has caught a lung infection and her kidneys shut down for a while- they are functioning now but not great. She is also really missing her two little boys- they have not been allowed to see her because she has been in isolation at the hospital. Please pray for her and her family, her name is Genny and her husband is Bob and her two little boys are Josh and Christain....

My Sister-In-Law's Nephew

feeds@yuku.com (Still Learning) — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:25:49 GMT

My sister-in-law's 26 year old nephew made the decision to take his own life last Sunday. My brother and I were close to him and took him on camping trips with us when he was a kid. He had a good heart and was a kind person. It is hard for us to believe he did this. I ask for prayer for my brother and sister-in-law and her family. This is a tough time for them.

New diagnosis

feeds@yuku.com (childoffaith) — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 10:08:44 GMT

Dear friends,
First, let me apologize for not being here for a while. Life has been somewhat hectic, and I haven't had the time to visit as I would like.

I was diagnosed this past Wednesday (1/20) with breast cancer. The good news is that it was caught very early, which increases the survival rate to 95-97%. But I have surgery, and radiation and/or chemotherapy ahead of me in the months to come. I would appreciate an interest in your prayers.

Thank you so much!

Prayers for travelling

feeds@yuku.com (Shieldwolf) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 23:24:02 GMT

Some of you are probably already praying for travelers. Thank you and God bless and be with you!

We did pretty well all the way across Missouri into Illinois and then ran into trouble.

Praise God that I lost my gears when I lost traction with a semi-truck beside me and one behind us. We just made it 1/2 way between Missouri and Ohio. We entered a dead zone for cell phone coverage, but thankfully got a hold of walking brother (for...

Dad in the hospital

feeds@yuku.com (childoffaith) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 16:31:43 GMT
Please keep my dad, Donald Hill, in your prayers. He was admitted to the hospital this afternoon, with congestive heart failure (CHF), severe dehydration, severe anemia, and very low oxygen levels.... and probably also kidney failure, but they haven't been able to run the tests yet to determine that. The doctor said that he has 30-40 pounds of fluid on him right now, because his heart is barely functioning. Dad turned 81 a couple of weeks ago. Please keep him lifted in prayer, that the...

Need prayer warriors.

feeds@yuku.com (rickard) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:44:41 GMT
My family is in the battle of our lives. It is mostly spiritual but can well become legal and reach the national news media. Please pray for our protection, and for wisdom and power to fight. I really believe that all the forces of hell, and some of the powers that be in this town are coming against us. Thanks and God bless, Rick.

my nephew died today

feeds@yuku.com (childoffaith) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:35:28 GMT
dear friends,
I received news just a little while ago that my nephew, David, drowned this afternoon while swimming in the Gulf with friends in Panama City. He was twenty-five years old. Needless to say, we are all devastated, but especially my brother, John, who is David's father. This is John's second son to die... his oldest son was killed by a car when he was six. My heart is breaking for him, and for all of my family. Please keep him, and all of us, in your prayers in the...

Getting a place to live in Independence

feeds@yuku.com (Shieldwolf) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 05:52:05 GMT
I thought that I would have until January 2 to find and gather my things for a new place to live.

It looks like that timeline will be pushed up to Monday, September 29.

Thanks for the prayers, friends!

Fortunately, we do have a lot of friends just no real clear prospects for permanent housing. I have a new job (Thank you, God!), and I applied for low-income or reduced income housing in March, but they say it may be until next...

my grandmother passed away on Monday.

feeds@yuku.com (HopeOfZion) — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 06:31:24 GMT

Yesterday afternoon my grandmother passed away.

She will be missed, but I also believe it was her time to go... and I think she knew it was too. And though she was sometimes a little apprehensive about it, as most people are, I believe she truly received the peace of knowing it would be ok - possibly even looked for in anticipation. She had told others that she looked forward to seeing all her family and sibblings (she was the last of all her bothers and sisters to pass). I was...

Death of a friend

feeds@yuku.com (childoffaith) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 04:59:05 GMT
Yesterday, I found out that one of my friends from my old congregation died in the morning. Her name was Dot. She was an elderly woman, but very dear to me. She was presiding and her daughter was preaching. About ten minutes into Kathy's (her daughter) sermon, Dot collapsed. There were several medical people in the congregation and they started resucitation techniques until the ambulance arrived. However, in spite of everyone's best efforts, Dot passed away.

I rejoice...
