Prayer Requests for June 21, 2010
Hello ladies! I must say that it was so good to be back together again. We missed those of you who could not come. As a reminder, you can come at 5:30 next week if you'd like to watch video session 4 =0)
Here are the prayer requests:
Jacqueline ~ "Thank you for your prayers my sisters. God is in control. He orchestrates all to perfection. Please pray that the Holy Spirit gives me the words that need to be heard as I speak this Saturday. Sisters prayerfully consider attending the walk to Emmaus on August 26-29, 2010. Pray for Richard Dupont's salvation. He is on his death bed and he doesn't know Christ. Richard is my dear friend, Annabelle's father. He is French and he lives in France. Annabelle has received Christ as her Savior."
Luisa ~ "Please pray that God reveals His plan for my family (mother, brothers and sisters), and also for my own family that we go deeper in God's word and in His revelation."
Karee ~ "My family is going through a rough patch. Melanie is still struggling with finding her place and we are having a hard time reaching her. Kristyn has joined us and is working on adjusting. Matthew, oh my Matthew, please pray that God wins these daily battles. Please pray for Sharon to keep on the right path. Scott and I are in a rough patch, but please pray we get through stronger not weaker. Thanks, Karee"
Crystal - please continue praying for the ladies as we grow closer together. Pray that we will form bonds that are Christ centered and that we create a safe and loving environment for sharing. Please pray that God will continue working in the heart of His people. Pray that we will be united despite our differences and that the entire body of Christ will start working together to spread His glory.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for all that You have done and all that you will do.
Ladies, I look forward to seeing you next week. As always, please remember to call, email, blog or text if you need anything =0)
in His love,
Crystal

Prayers needed
I have missed yall. I can't wait for next week.
But we need your prayers. Please pray for my family. We have several things we need prayer help with. Some of them being my Daughter Melanie, still needs guidance. She is torn between her mother and my husband and I. She is 14 and still trying to figure out her place in this world. We need help in guiding her to that place so she can be at peace and know how much she is loved. It often feels like we take 1 step forward and 25 back.
My other stepdaughter Kristyn 10 came to live with us this week. She needs help in just knowing that she is also wanted here and loved.
The rest of us just need prayer we can all adjust.
I need them to know that I am doing the right things for our family. Financially, with their schooling, leading them, etc. I do lose my temper more than I want and need help in handling the stress of it all better. I don't want my family to doubt my want or love for them.
This is one of those times that it is hard for me to ask for these, as they do seem incidental to others that are in need. But as I have shared with some of you, I know God is there for me, but I just don't get "that feeling" that so many describe. I try to keep my heart open to hear Him, but just don't feel that I do most of the time. While I do pray and try to leave everything up to him, that is very had for me and I feel like I don't hear or know what He is wanting me to do.
Anyway, Please just keep my family in your prayers as we go through yet another adjustment.
See you on Monday

THANK YOU!! RE: URGENT PRAYERS NEEDED
To My precious sisters in Christ, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers. God does answer prayers. No matter how grim the circumstances may seem,
I remember this:
1) God is who He says He is!
2) God can do what He says He can do!
3) I am who God says I am!
4) I can do all things through Christ!
5) God’s Word is alive and active in me!
Michael has returned home. Remember weeks ago when I said that God was directing me to be submissive?
This was my wake up call…as hard as it is. I’ve never had a problem humbling myself or being the first to say I’m sorry; however, being submissive and having anger are two of my weaknesses as I shared with you a few weeks ago. Michael agreed to come home and keep his commitment we made to host our small group. He said he would decide after that if he would stay. Regardless of our disagreements, we’ve always been able to come together in prayer; this time spiritual warfare set in causing him to have a hardened heart; resisting prayer and not accepting any apologies; causing me to have anger outbursts and say things I would never say.
I called our pastor which also happens to be our small group facilitator for guidance. We did host our small group from church last night.
Prayers are answered because not only did Michael return home, his heart was no longer hard. He prayed with me. We had our group. Met with our pastor afterwards and agreed to meet with our Pastor again today at 4:30.
Thank you again for your prayers and phone calls.
I love you!!
Jacqueline

Subject: URGENT PRAYERS NEEDED
Please pray for Michael & I. He has left me.
We are supposed to start hosting our small group tomorrow at our home.
Satan is attacking us right and left.
He is young in Christ and doesn’t understand spiritual warfare.
We both blew up at each other and said some things that shouldn’t have been said.
I said something very very mean and hateful but he won’t let me apologize for it.
Please pray that God melts his heart.
No matter what the situation has been we have been able to come together in prayer.
I know it is spiritual warfare because he refuses to pray with me or accept any apology.
Thank you for your prayers.
