Prayer requests for the weeks of 1/22-2/12
We missed several of you this Sunday. Here's some prayer requests that were shared:
Steve Philips, who bared his soul in chapel on Tuesday, we prayed that he would find strength to continue the Kingdom work that he does around OBU.
Shauna: Some life situations are tough for her these days. Pray that she'll have wisdom when dealing with people who are close to her.
Leslie's friend Beth lives from her wheelchair. She's been job hunting for over a year, and though they'd never admit it, she can't be hired because of the insurance liability that she brings to the businesses she's applied and interviewed with. Pray for patience for Beth and justice for the situation.
Christy is working at 3rd St. Church with the kids, like Amy did last semester. Pray that she'll provide a good example of love to her girls. Pray that she'll facilitate love and community among girls who don't like each other very much.
Laura is dealing with some bitterness toward her dad and general loneliness and bitterness towards her family. Pray for their relationships and for understanding on Laura's part.
Beth is on the block. 8 hours per day, of which she can miss none and still pass. It also requires a lot of homework each night. This complicates life with a toddler. Pray for strength and her health.
JACE IS DANCING!!! Yes, this may seem an odd prayer request, but it means that he's learning and paying attention. After watching the Wizard of Oz more times than they've cared to, Thomas and Beth were excited to see that Jace can do the dance without watching the TV! He's watched it and LEARNED how to do it. Father, we praise you for glimpses of your goodness!
Thomas was informed that he has a great research job AND entrance into a doctorate program!
Terese and I have a friend, Silke, at UALR. Pray for our influence and friendship with her.
I'd like for Terese to work less to complicate life less, but she doesn't want to. Pray for wisdom for us. Pray for us as we disagree about it -- it's been kinda fun to disagree about it, pray that we would continue to not take the arguments personally :).
Feel free to comment to this post to add your prayer requests. Please take time to read/pray (i think they could be the same thing ;)) the next 2.5 weeks. Prayer will bind us together even when we're not meeting together!
