We have been blessed each day this past week.  We have been going through revival.

It has been glorious and a lot of fun.

We have had bible study, prayer, lots of fellowship, and definitely lots of praise.  My spirits have been lifted up, my husband has been smiling more, and there is more joy in our souls.

The way that I figure it, the glad tidings are the result of being blessed and God should get all of the kudos.

Went to church today and had a blast.  It was great being able to go back and see everyone and be able to take part in worship.  Many of the regulars were not there and are in need of prayer for different things that are going on.  The message today was on love and came from 1 John chapter 4.  For additional information on love also check out 1 Corinthians chapter 13.

Listed below are the prayer requests:

Phyllis, Madison, and Patricia in Kentucky

Eddie + Walter C - she is recovering from surgery and he is recovering from losing a family member.

Harold - heart attack.  We have a few Harolds on our group.

Jewel Ballard

Milton - BP

Haiti survivors and families

Calton C - severe pain that debilitates him

Jasmine - coughing

Phyllis C

LeRoy J - loneliness and grief over a loss

Nancy Taylor - hospice

I have no idea what that last one is, but God knows.  My husband and I are slowly recovering from what he had been going through and he is feeling much better.  Thank God for His mercy.

Things have been going on the last3 months.

Fist, I have some prayer requests:

Walter and Eddie - she has had gall bladder surgery, he just lost his brother.

Harold had surgery and is recovering.

Carlton - going through divorce and is torn up.

Now for the things that have been going on.  The Lord has kept us from going nuts, and it has been busy.  Maybe I should have said we have been busy.

Starting in October, my husband got sick.  A lot of tests were run on him, anti-biotics prescribed and finally a diagnosis was given.  He was having some prostate trouble.  He needed surgery.  Well, a first date was set finally in November, but a medicine screw-up caused it to be delayed.  He was getting catheterized each day about 5-6 times (PAIN).  He was having cramping and pain every day.  Most of the time, he was in misery.  Then finally a date was set for his surgery.  January 5th.  So, for months he was going through pain, cramps, and the indignity of catheterization.  OY

Well, he has now had his surgery, he is recovering, and the pain and cramps from his trouble have stopped for the most part.  The doctor used a laser to vaporize the offending area.  Everything is now looking up from where things had gotten to.  Now, all we have to do is get his blood sugar balanced.  Still, everything could have been worse.  The doctor told us that they got to the problem in time to keep it from becoming closer to being cancerous.  He is no longer having the same recurring infections that he’d been having before.  A lot of the upset is now gone.

Tomorrow, my husband undergoes surgery for his prostate problems.  Any and all prayers would be appreciated.  We have not been able to attend church since this all began, it has been very frustrating to us.

We are praying that this surgery will end the problems, once and for all.

It has been a while since I have been able to write here.

This is the update on what has been happening.  My husband has been going through ‘hell’ on earth.  Since the end of October, he has been getting treatment for UTI’s (urinary track infections).  The underlying cause was discovered to be his prostate which had gotten enlarged.  It has been blocking his urethra partially and not allowing his bladder to empty.

There have been many doctor’s office visits.  The end result was his getting a catheter installed for a solid week.   After that, it was removed and an operation was planned using a laser to clean out the area involved.  The operation was planned to be on December 10th.  Until that time, he had to be catheterized at least 3 times each day if not more.  When he went in to the anesthesia assessment unit for the pre-op interview, the nurse doing the interview discovered that he had not been told to stop his Plavix and daily aspirin.  Goodbye operation.

He was rescheduled for a thallium stress test and interview with a cardiologist.  It not be until December the 17th.  His cardiologist will be going on vacation that particular day, and will not return until the 22nd.  So, he will be seeing another doctor after the test.

The one thing that I have not mentioned yet is the daily pain that he goes through each time that he is catheterized.  Remember - 3 times daily.  This has been going on since the first week in December.  The catheterization process also caused severe cramps at times.

It has been a nightmare.  Mostly for my husband since he is unable to do this procedure himself.  I am the one to do it.  It makes me cringe, but I know that it is necessary.  We now have a routine to doing this and things are time, almost with precision.  He still has the pain each day, though.

We need prayer.

These are the prayer requests that i learned about for today.

Of course I continue to pray for those families connected with Fort Hood and what happened on the 5th of this month.

Larry + Phyllis C - both ill

Carlton C - severe pain in his legs

Janice H - ill

Jeremy - sick and job

Margaret N - family members who do not believe

Linda K - needs to know how to love

David H - strength

David D - ill

These people are having trouble with their blood pressure:  Sandy M, Becky B, LeRoy J, Milton B

Please pray for the peace of Israel, and peace in Jerusalem.  They are both mentioned very prominently in the bible.

The scripture that kept coming to mind to me today was : ICorinthians 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man, and God is faithful and will with the temptation make a way to escape that you may be able to bear it.

Everyday life does bring its own temptations and trials.  No matter what happens, God is there with us.  We just need to remember that He will never leave us nor forsake us. (Heb 13:5)

When the horrible happened at Fort Hood, we watched it on TV.  We live within 20 miles of the army base.  It was a shock to hear about what happened.  Everywhere in our area, flags are at half mast, people are shaking their heads, prayers are being said.

I am thankful that more did not get slain.  I cannot say that they just died, they were slain, on purpose.   I do not pretend to understand the supposed reasoning behind these murders.  I do not understand someone who kills indiscriminately.  All that I can do is try to uphold the families and the survivors.

These are the prayer requests for 11-08-09:

Fort Hood families  and survivors

Our pastor and his wife - health

Pete Henry - health

Freebird - transportation

P Bear and family

Ron G - plumbing problems

Harold - healing
