Exclamation Prayer Request:

I don’t usually do this sort of thing. But this strikes very close to home.
Both of my boys are very active in karate in our home town and have been for a number of years. Over this time I have come to know and respect their Sensei (Ryan) and his wife Jen. They are wonderful people that are very committed to the youth in our community. Anyway, this spring they were blessed to have twins (Colin & Isabelle). They were born very premature and Isabelle is in a bad way. She weighs like less than 2lbs and is on a respirator. As you can imagine, the family is really having a tough time. Please keep them in your prayers. They need all the help they can get.
Yesterday I did receive some good news, Colin was released from the hospital and allowed to go home.
I would also like to throw in a little scripture. “The effective, fervent prayers of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16

It's so hard to see children suffer...but God understands more than we do!

Prayers for the family!

My Nephew was born very premature ... he was 1lb and 12 inches long... Im happy to say he is now 7 years old (I think, bad aunt) ... Medical science has come along way..... Your friends are in my prayers... as are the people who love them.

It's hard enough to watch your babies with colds and flus, but something like this, just tears at your heart. I sure will be praying for these babies. I will also ask my Pastor and friends to agree in prayer. God bless you. Yolie

Prayers......

In the name of Jesus for little Isabel and God's continued

protection for little Colin...

I believe though with all my heart that the prayers of

the Mama are going straight to the Throne.....

Once when my sister was between life and death in the

hospital ...she was a victim of DV....my mom was

travailing in prayer and asked God to not take my sister

because she loved her too much...

The Lord whispered in my mother's ear...she heard His voice.

"But I love my children even more"....

What grace.....

I believe this child is protected by God's love.

That’s quite a touching story Sherry. I believe the same thing.
I look at how much I love my children and then I think of how much more God loves us. So much so that we can’t even comprehend. Praise God!

Unfathomable indeed......

Beyond comprehension...

I kneel in awe when I think of His Love...

That God sent His Son....

For the likes of me....

And this causes me to stand.

The guilt and the shame is cast away further than

the farthest sea...

And is remembered against me no more...

Hallelujah!

"And he shall carry the lambs with His arms"....
