Lord,

Thank You for Your faithfulness to us and thank You for hearing our prayers. Thank You for restoring circulation to Sarah's mom's hand and that she gets to keep it. May You continue to comfort her as she has much pain. Continue to help the bones heal quickly and take away the pain Lord.

Lord, I just want to lift up Dana to You right now. Be with her as she finds out her test results. May You have Your hand of protection upon her and help it not be cancerous.

Lord, be with Larry as well. May You heal him of his colon cancer and cause it to decrease in strength and size. May You heal it completely and take it completely out of his body. Comfort him Lord and be with him as he goes through this. May he feel Your presence.

Continue to be with Megan's mom as she gets the assist removed. Protect her Lord and keep it from being cancerous.

Be with Sarah and Cris and help them as they argue. Help them communicate with each other and express their love to one another. Draw them both closer to You and be with them Lord.

Praise You for Your goodness and for the way that we are able to come, throw up on You with all of our troubles, hurts, and struggles, and that You are willing and that You desire to help us with all of the struggles that we face and that the people around us face as well.

Thank You Jesus, I love You. Amen.

Lord.... oh how we need Your help so much sometimes.....

Be with Sarah's mom and her hand. May You bring back all of the circulation to her fingers and hand so they won't have to amputate it later this week. May You be her strength while she awaits the outcome that You have for her.

Be with Megan's mom and heal her. May You be her strength and comfort as she goes through this battle again. May You heal all of the tumors and cancerous cells within her body and heal her from breast cancer. May the surgery early next week be successful like the previous and may You make it to where she never has to experience it again. Please Lord, be with her family, comfort them and strengthen them throughout this time. Give them hope. Lord, if it be Your desire, heal her so that she doesn't have to have the surgery.

Be with Angie's sister-in-law during her recovery. Please Lord, make it to where she will not have to have any more surgeries or skin grafs. Comfort her while she remains in the hospital for the coming weeks. Please reconstruct her skin so that it may look like it once did when she was first created by you. Take the skin from her arm that's now on her face and neck and make it look like natural face skin. Help her hair grow back quickly. Be with her family as they go through this and are there for her every step of the way. Help all of her friends at school continue to support her.

Lord, please continue to be with all of the people that had to leave there hometowns due to Hurricane Katrina. Help them in every trial that they are facing. Show them Your hope Lord.

Thank You Lord that You are a miracle maker, a healer, and a provider. Thank You that no matter what the situation is... no matter how crazy life can be, that we can all still turn to You. Thank you Lord that You have no limitations of things that You can do and that You desire for us to come to You. I praise you for the things You have already been doing in these situations and I ask You to continue Your awesome work. Be with all of these families Lord and be with all of us as well. I praise You and thank You for Your goodness, and how it shines no matter what the world has around us and no matter what situations we have in our lives. Be with them all I pray. Amen.

My friend's Sarah's mom is going into surgery in a half hour. She got hit by a SUV that was backing up, fell and grasped onto the trailer hitch, and now most of her hand is completely damaged. They are having the surgery to see how much they can salvage, but it doesn't look good. Most likely, they will be removing 2 of her fingers, but they may have to remove everything up to her elbow. Please pray.

Lord, I just ask you to be with Amy right now. I ask you to heal her bones and recreate them from nothing just as you did with Adam. I know that nothing can surpass You and You are able to do all things. Please Lord, rebuild and heal her bones. Please save her hand and lower arm. Be with the doctors as they are doing the exploratory surgery and maybe corrective surgery. Give them Your wisdom to know what they should do. Guide them through the decisions that they make. I ask You Lord to protect her the way that only You can. Be with her and comfort her during this time. Give her peace knowing that she is in Your hands. Lord, I also ask You to be with her family. Comfort them during this time and give them peace as well. Prepare them for whatever the future holds. God, I put all of them into Your hands and ask You to do with them as You please as You are all knowing. Be with them all. Thank You for Your love and healing power. Amen.

There are so many times where I wonder what God has for me in my future and where I would want Him to answer my questions of what He has for me. Yet, when I really think about it, I think part of the fun of this life is the wondering and excitement of what that is. No matter where we get to in this life, there is always more blessings and excitement to come.
I am so spoiled...

Last month, I saw Jack Johnson in concert...
This month, I get to see Jason Mraz (9/20) and Aqualung (9/22)
Next month, it's all about Gavin Degraw (10/20)
Has anyone ever felt comfort in someone else's imperfection - you know, the one called life. I just felt that reading Oz's first post on 9/11. Sometimes, it's good to recognize that we all go through hard times in different areas... This is why it's so important for us to pray for each other.
life is full of joy and hurts and pain
life is about sharing, learning, playing
life is worth all that it brings

it's how we get to live
it's the reason for different things
it's how we express ourselves to God

in the end,
it's not about how we pray
it's not about how much we read our bible
tell others about him
worship
or even fast
in the end,
it's how we live our whole life
during the good times
during the bad
during the blessings
and the sorrows
it's how we respond to situations
and life
and that's how we can
be honest before Him
all of our days
all of our lives

I know that many of you don't listen to country music... but right now you should.

KMLE Country 108 is having a Miracle Marathon for Phoenix Children's Hospital. Yet, PCH is splitting all of the donations received with Children's Hospital New Orleans. They are both incredible children's hospitals and are absolutely amazing.

They are asking for $20 monthly donations. I would tell some of the testimonies... but in the end, they make me cry in my car on my way to work... so I will resist.

Here is a link with more info:
