Keeping you in prayer Judy.


Look what I found on my facebook page from School of Rock for Flashback Friday.


Video of Rachel singing last year. I think it is the day she almost missed the show. I know they are glad she didn't! She was amazing.

Popping in to see how everyone is doing.

Praying for all needs to be met.

I just went back and read what I had posted earlier and it was too much, even for me. SO SORRY it was overwhelming! I just wanted you to know how best to pray for our family, many of you will be going to church this morning and asking for prayers for others. Please add us to the list. This is why the other day I simply asked for prayer, otherwise as I said, TOO MUCH INFO! I will post just a small portion of what I had; I am GRATEFUL, which was the purpose of my post to begin with.

EVERYTHING I HAVE IS BECAUSE OF THE LORD. Trusting Him to always meet our needs.

This has been an exceptionally tough week: mentally, physically, health wise, financially...one thing by itself would have been enough; however, added to it was concerning news on Lisa and her health. We are approaching her birthday (March 3) and I refuse to be dragged down to despair...it is a time of celebration!!! All birthday's are special, but they become more poignant when they belong to a child whom doctor's thought would not see her first birthday. God and I knew better though, there was never any doubt in my mind she would grow and thrive and she has. Please keep Lisa (and all of us) in your prayers!! We are celebrating all week!

—Your faith in God has become known everywhere... ~1 Thessalonians 1:8

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. ~Psalm 9:10

GAIL, I really need to talk to you to see if you are okay. Please call when you have a moment.

Tink, praying for JJ. Did he and Grumpy have flu shots?

I REALLY want to Thank those of you who have stuck around, it is good to read your messages...I try to do that at least once a day and I appreciate those of you who take the time to say hi. I get a warm feeling when I see your messages. May you feel God's blessings!

Judy, I'm home with a sick child this morning so thought I'd pop on and see if you had posted. I am so sorry you have had such a rough week. I've been thinking of you and upholding you all in prayer often, ever since the other day when you posted. Our God is a great God...I trust that He has some purpose for all of this, but I am praying for an extra outpouring of grace and peace for your family as you walk through it all. You have blessed all of us so much with your testimony and I am continuing to pray that He shows His hand strong on your behalf. ((Hugs)) Lisa is such an amazing girl and just as God has upheld her in the past to do great things, I know He is going to continue to do so.

 

[happybelle]

I saw your earlier post, before I went to church. Lots of prayers being lifted for you. I was happy you had shared all that you did, it let me know how to best pray for you and the family. I am sorry to read about Lisa, and the vehicle. Where you find your strength is beyond me. It has to be your strong faith. I need more of that.

for better days.

Best of luck to Rachel, how exciting for so many things.

 

[courtneybelle]

I sent you a PM, I know how busy you are but I hope you get a chance to take a look at it...

I dedicated my mass to your family today, I hope your needs are met and that Lisa has a wonderful birthday.

 

[Redwavess]

Judy I am so sorry to read that you are facing so many issues right now. I will be praying for your family and all your needs. I know that it never gets any easier hearing about the heart stuff whether you know a surgery is coming or not. I hope that your foot heals and all your families needs are met.

Big hugs,

Madeline

Hi judy,
Hope everything ok with you guys. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

Thanks Laura! How are things at your house?

Oh Judy! I don't even know what to say! Keeping you and the family in my prayers! Ruth

Ruth, when I went back and read I realized I had too much "stuff" in my post. Honestly, for me it is just routine, but when I read it from someone else's perspective, I see how overwhelming it could really be. I have had years to build up stamina for the daily "stuff" of my life. It waxes and wanes and we just are in a truly overloaded time at the moment. Your prayers are so needed.

Praying for all needs to be met.

God Bless you, Thank you.

I am sorry someone is sick, who is it? David had a wicked Upper respiratory infection for a week, but managed to not share with anyone else, PTL. God id good, ALL of the time. I am trying to be open and receptive to His word and NOT block His blessings. Not having a vehicle for Pete has placed a huge time drain on me, add to that the extra driving aggravates my tendonitis (it is my right foot). It leaves little time to do much of anything else and I am too worn out even if I can get the computer to work to do more than read. I am humbled that people still read here! Tracy, are we ever going to get this TR started??? If not, I am starting a new PTR...and NO I don't have a tripped planned, lol...but a girl can dream, can't she? Thanks Amy, you boosted me upward today!

Rachel did a great job on the audition, but i REALLY don't think she will get it. She was way down on the list of performers and they were going alphabetically...um, I don't think so! She said it was a good experience though, and that is always good!

I know SOMEBODY read what I wrote yesterday morning, there was 335 views between the time I first posted and when I edited...and only two folks responded. When I saw that, I re-read what I had written and realized I had shared too much...again!

I sent you a PM, I know how busy you are but I hope you get a chance to take a look at it...

I dedicated my mass to your family today, I hope your needs are met and that Lisa has a wonderful birthday.

I am so thankful for your prayer intentions for us Courtney, you are truly a wonderful young lady! I BELIEVE my call for prayer put our names on may of your lips to lift us up in unison yesterday and God IS working!! Thank you for the heads up on the PM's I am HORRIBLE at them!

 

[blessedmom4]

I don't want to jinx myself, but the DIS hasn't moved this quickly for me in weeks!

Judy I am so sorry to read that you are facing so many issues right now. I will be praying for your family and all your needs.

Thank you so much Madeline! Yes, you know well the worry of heart issues. How is my sweet little friend doing? Is she still enjoying homeschool? God bless you for your prayers for al of our needs...they are many, but not too many for God! I would feel a whole lit better if this foot would behave! I don't mean to whine about it so much, but I can hardly walk and that is problematic.

Big coming from Colorado.

Jill in CO

Thank you Jill, it is so good to see you!.

Judy, I did not get to read your post but please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. If you would like to pm me more specifics I am always here to lend an ear or I am always up for a phone chat.

YOu are so sweet Tonya! I was just talking about our normal life stuff...and truly it can be too much written out in one spot. It is another reason I don't post so much, I don't know how to filter and don't have time most days. If I think it I type it and it IS too much! Thank you for always being here when I need you!

Prayers for your Family!!Please pray that my DGS 's foot does not need to be rebroken and in a caste another 6 weeks also !!! Also that OBAMA Care has not affected his insurance !!!!!

Thanks for praying Rosie. I am so very sorry about your DGS foot! it puts so many things in perspective when a child is in need! I do hope his foot heals without needing to be re-broken and re-casted! How scary!! Please keep us posted!

Judy, I'm joining the others praying for your family.

God Bless you Debbie, Thank you!!

I just saw my ticker saying we had been home 42 days...It feels like two years!

I will not go into to the grand details I don't have time and you don't want to read it all. Lisa has been having some back pain with a strange cold sensation when it happens. She has scoliosis and leg length discrepancy. When we saw the Ortho on Wednesday, we told him of this new development with her back. X-rays on her legs showed a slight worsening, her back showed nothing new. He did say she could have a small back fracture (you read that correctly) so if it came up in the future, I would know he had already thought about it. Um....WHAT???? He didn't want to do an MRI because she "wasn't complaining long or loudly about the pain"...she never does, I am fortunate she even told me after sitting at the MD for three hours on Tuesday...that is how I first found out it had been going on for "a while". I came home and hit the books, I think he was referring to Spondylolysis. I feel like he just told me about the possibility to cover his butt if something happens to Lisa. If she keeps having pain I will take her to the pediatrician. He did refer her to PT to strengthen her core...which is exactly what they keep doing (third time since November to add more PT for her Core) and PT keeps saying because of her ballet she is in excellent core condition. All I know is that Lisa has NEVER had so many physical/muscle pains/aches/injuries in her life as she has had since November and the physical therapists have no idea why! For me this is a huge prayer need, so Thank you!

Judy,

Still here reading and keeping your family in my prayers.

 

[RooRach0906]

Judy - Praying for you and Lisa and the rest of your family. I will be on a little more often now.

I am also praying for everyone else on this thread and hope everyone is well.
