Testing

I have never posted from my iPad so I thought I would give it a shot. If this works, maybe it will encourage me to actually blog more often.

Life is going great. Jarrod and I will have been married for 8 months on Saturday. The time has really flown. Although nothing is coming of it at the moment, I have several friends who have either just had a baby or have one on the way and it is giving me a bit of a fever. I wish at times but we are not quite ready yet. We want to enjoy being married and get a little more settled first.

Blessings from God

You know, I started this with the best of intentions of keeping it up and helping us all to stay in touch as friends and as a Christian support system. I realized that none of us have updated it in a long time. A lot of things have happened in the months since the last post was written. God has blessed many of our friends in many ways. I would try to write them all but not sure if I could remember everything without leaving someone's blessing out. So, I am asking that you leave either a post or a comment about how God has blessed you in the last few months. This is for anyone that stumbles across this blog whether you are a known friend or a new friend...we'd love to hear how God is working in your life!!

Family

Just a quick post to ask you to remember my family in your prayers. Just some stuff going on that I pray that God helps to work out. Thanks guys!!!

Hurricane Ike and Babies Lily and Taylor

Just wanted to pray for all those that may be affected by Hurricane Ike. I pray that it stays a weak hurricane as it moves across the gulf into possibly Texas.

I also want to pray for the Burks as they prepare for the arrival of baby Lily and the Chandlers on the arrival of baby Taylor. I pray for healthy, happy babies. I pray for God's guidance in helping these parents to raise their babies to be Christ seeking ladies.


PS: Happy late birthdays to Kristy, Whitney and Ashley. With getting ready for school to start and it starting, I missed posting that. Sorry girls!! I hope each of you had a great day

Hurricane Gustav

I just want to put out a prayer request for all those being affected by Hurricane Gustav. For those evacuating, safe travel and for those staying put, safety in the midst of the storm. I know personally, I have a lot of family down there. I have not heard yet whether they are evacuating or not. Mom is going to call them when she gets home and see. My brother is also on standby to go help with electrical repairs should they be needed after the storm. I am sure that we all know someone that is being affected by the storm and I ask that they all remain in our prayers throughout the coming days.

My Godmother

I ask that you put my Godmother, Debbie Dyer on your prayer lists. She is in ICU right now...they think she had a stroke. I am not sure on a lot of the other details...apparently she was upset with her son b/c she found out he had been doing some things he shouldn't and while yelling at him, fell out and has been in ICU ever since. Pray for her son also that through this he realizes his mistakes and can overcome them and be a better person. And also not feel like this was all his fault. She had a degenerative blood disease of some sort but I am not sure if that played a roll or not. Thank you so much for your prayers!!


Update 8/31: She has now gone home and they have decided that it was not a stroke but was stress related. She is able to use her arms again but is still not talking. They are also having trouble getting her to eat. They are still saying it is stress related though.
