Prayer Request

Just wanted to post a prayer request for my mother. Mom (Miriam) has been in the hospital for almost two weeks now (one of the main reasons I have been MIA from my blog). She went in to the hospital running a fever and it has stuck with her. They have done numerous tests and still no definitive reason for the fever. She was hoping they might send her home tonight, but they did not and she ran yet another fever this evening. Thanks in advance for your prayers. God bless, Deb

I'm not political, just Morally obligated to know!

A few months ago a friend was describing me as Debbie the "Political" girl. At first I thought should I be offended, then I thought, "I'm not political, I'm MORALLY obligated to know!" What do I mean by this you may ask? As a Christian, I feel I have a spiritual obligation to stand up for christian values both in my life and country. Thus when I look into who I vote for I need to know what morality level they are at. Researching and learning all you can about their records and what they say they stand for; it's my duty as a Christian! I have no choice in the matter, I have to do it.

Hollywood and the popular music field have taken it upon themselves to force us to hear their political and world views. It's like we (us normal folks) cannot make informed decisions without their knowledgeable (wait-- they do not know anymore than we do) comments. You cannot watch certain television shows without hearing it and of course it's always one sided. I have boycotted so many shows that I have found there is not much to watch on television anymore.. Maybe that was the case to begin with. Sadly, I think many Americans and hopefully not Christians will be making their political choices based on what these entertainers and biased media is telling us.

To end this, I just want to encourage everyone to seek God and his word for the choices you make on November 4th.

Prayer:

Dear Lord,

I thank you for this great nation that we can have the freedom to choose. I ask that your Holy Spirit will be in the hearts of believers to give us guidance in our choices. So that in all we do, YOU ARE GLORIFIED!! Amen

Just getting my SGM fix..

Here in NY we have so little Southern gospel music. I believe there are two shows on two different christian radio stations. The one I really like is on Saturday AM the one day I get to sleep in.. LOL I am listening to the Gospel Hiway http://www.thegospelhiway.org/home/ right now as I am typing away.

I was also checking out the different myspace sites for southern gospel. I was able to check out Signature sound and tried to check on the Crabb family(this site did not come up).

My friend Beck signed me up for a my space account and I am trying to figure it out. I had thought it was primarily for young people, but there are so many people on it.

There has been few opportunities for me to sing in the past year, but I truly enjoy singing and listening to southern gospel music.. Did I ever mention I was going to marry Mark Lowry.. LOL..

just a kiddin.. He is actually older than me.. hmmm...

Gonna do some blog searching now.. May God bless ya'll and have a great President's
Day on monday.. Maybe we should declare it "LETS pray for the next PRESIDENT day".

I am gonna do that..

Please keep my friend Rick's parent's in your prayers, below is an excerpt from his email. Thank you in advance.

"Yesterday my Dad was rushed to the hospital with very severe pain and swelling in his left leg. It was discovered that he has a very large blood clot in his left thigh. He is now still in the hospital and will be for several days. They are treating him with blood thinners hoping to dissolve the clot. If they can't then they will have to do surgery. Also my Mom is having her gall bladder removed tomorrow, troubled times are on my family, please pray for God's healing touch and for strength and comfort for us all."

Prayer Requests

Below is a prayer request from a relative of mine regarding her daughter Laurie:

Laurie has been very sick--started with Epstein Barr--went into Mono and now they aren't sure what else is going on. She has been referred to an infectious disease specialist. Her husband has been having severe pain in his knee and may need surgery. There little boy Josiah needs surgery--one leg is shorter than the other and he walks on his tippytoes. He was scheduled for surgery twice but got sick a few days before each one was to take place.

<>< <>< PLEASE KEEP THEM IN YOUR PRAYERS <>< <><

Dear Heavenly father we come before you and ask that your healing hand would be upon this family. Guide the doctors in their diagnosis of Laurie's illness we pray. We also lift up her son and husband in prayer; heal, touch and strengthen them in your precious name we pray. AMEN.

Update on my father

First thanks to my friends both online and off for their thoughts and prayers!

My father is still in the rehab part of our local hospital. It's now been about a month. Time has not really gone by fast, it's seems like he has been there forever.

We were hoping he would be going home this past week but he had another set back.

Earlier in the week, they sent him to the ER with another fever. It got up to around 103 and he felt terrible. After all their tests, they stated he got an infection from his catheter. I am not 100% sold on that. He has had a fever off and on throughout his stay at the hospital and did not have the catheter all the time. Needless to say, I am thankful that the fever has subsided. Thank you Lord!!

We had hoped to take him home this week, but his other leg started giving him problems and hinders his walking. They have put him on another med and so far so good. Today mom was able to get him to go outside in the wheel chair for a bit. Mom said it was nice he was able to see our beautiful blue sky (soon it will be filled with snow clouds.. ughh)

He is a lil' discouraged that he has not had alot of visitors. But hopefully he will be home soon. Lord willing... Please also pray for strength for my mother. She gets real tired out going every day to the hospital.

Thanks again and GOD bless.

Family situation

My father is in the hospital, well he is now in a Hospital's short term rehab. He has been sick for about a week and needs help to be able to walk again on his own. I will try and post more when I have time. Please keep him in prayer as he is not feeling well and seems to be keeping a fever.
Thanks
