Need Prayers

“Thanks for the upbeat report. My best continues your way.”

“Good news!   Thanks for the update ---- !”

“Thanks for the update.....tell the boys I said hello & tell them thank you for making our Sipsey trip one of the very best ever & hugs for everyone!!!!!
..I pray for strength & endurance for your family...

LOTS OF HUGS!!!”

“Sorry I'm late to the table on this one.

Wishing Trevor a full and speedy recovery.”

“Thanks for the update, I just popped in over here to check this thread.”

“please send all your prayers to my sister. I just found out her husband was killed in an accident.

this is bad, real bad.”

“I'm sorry to hear that. My heart goes out to her”

“So sorry Nora..”

“I am so sorry Mapes. Prayers on the way...”

“Thinking of you guys!”

“coming your way”

“I hope you all find comfort in family.”

“"Authorities say Viera's inexperience on the motorcycle may have been a factor in the crash."

That's totally messed up how they threw him under the bus like that.”

“My prayers go out to not only your family but the other driver as well...

He is probably a little emotionally shaken right now...

'32oz”

“umm ok sarge......”

“Prayers for your family. That is awful, awful. Agreed on the other driver. Regardless or right or wrong, that person is likely dealing with lots of guilt.”

“I think sarge might have actually been aiming his comment at the authorities blaming your B-I-L for the accident.”

“That's the way I took Sarge's comments.”

“My prayers have been sent. I'm very sorry about this tradegy.”

“your right DH.”

“Oh man, I'm really sorry to hear that, Mapes.”

“On 2nd reading, the authorities are supposed to determine fault, but that doesn't mean the newspaper folks had to publish it. More of the public right to know BS. That part shouldn't have been in the article, imo.”

“i don't think that God answers prayer from bad girls and i haven't really spoken to him much in a while because of what i am going through. i'm not even sure he will answer this prayer at all, but i'll ask for it because it concerns more than just me.

if you don't know yet our apartments are going to be torn down sometime and they will not tell us when except that at some point we will be given 60 days notice.

we are looking for a new place. we cannot afford to live in this school district no matter how badly i want to Brian to be able stay with his marching band, drumline and all his friends.

we saw a wonderful apartment this morning. it's a beautiful apartment in a good area, with a good high school. the high school has a marching band and a winter drumline. the apartment has one more bathroom than we have now, a fireplace, a garage, and a view of the mtns, things that we don't have now. and it's $75 dollars less than we are currently paying.

the thing is our credit sucks. when steve had his stroke we had to declare bankruptcy to get out from under credit cards, simply no way to pay them when he wasn't working and we didn't have his social security for two years. we also have thousands of dollars of outstanding medical bills. i am very afraid that we won't get it on this account. i explained it to the manager. i pay all of our bills except there is just no money for the medical stuff.

So what I am asking for is prayer that we do get this apartment. Maybe God will listen to you.

“IMHO, he doesn't work that way, but I'll throw out a couple of mine, just in case:)”

“thank you. i'm not sure He does either. i'm not even sure He cares. but it's not for me so much. it's for Brian. i hope He cares for Brian.”

“He cares. I hope things work out for your family Pamela.”

“most apartment complexes(at least around here) don't put a lot of emphasis on credit...it's more about a long rent history...good luck”

“Sending positive thoughts your way Pamela.”

“Good Luck Pamela..”

“Give 'em Heck, Pammie”

“He cares and He has already heard your prayer...

“dare i even pray though? i am certain He hates me.”

“Coming from a person that denied God for too long, His grace is far reaching. If it shines on me, it shines on you. Good luck in your situation and use it as a platform to find the heart of that grace.

I feel like I should suggest Donald Miller's 'Blue Like Jazz'. Spirituality for sinners. Taught me a lot about the operations of faith.”

“i don't deny Him. for years i communed. but the truth is, i am angry with Him now and have not truly held a conversation with Him in ever so long.”

“Why don't you ask for a record of your rent history to give to new rental folks???”

“a link to the journal about Trevor...just thinking of him & his family as I do whenever I read the journal.....
...prayers...as always....bateauxdriver...

“Pammy, you are NOT a bad girl and please give yourself for credit for the many many good things you do.”

“I'll send up a couple up to mine for you and Brian too Pamela. Candle lit and all.

I hope it works out the best way for you.”

“rent mostly on time, but patchy. yesterday i wrote the check on time, but my family didn't deliver it. idiots.”

“I will certainly pray for you and send good thoughts you way. I would suggest you write a letter explaining your situation. I know that you explained it in person, but at the end of the letter have 3 or 4 references. Your landlord would be good and anyone else that knows your character and send that in to the manager. Might help. Also a letter from your bank may help.”

“Praying for you, my friend I haven't met yet. Don't know why God doesn't always speak English, but do believe He shows his love in many ways, and believe he cares for you and yours. You don't sound like a bad girl to me. Personally, I think God hates hypocrites and you seem pretty honest.”

“Prayers, Pammie. If God didn't like bad people he'd have no one to love. He made us all this way, didn't he?


I hope the young bateauxdriver is doing well too.”

“Well I dropped off the forms and spoke with him a bit longer. Then I called him back just to tell him something I forgot to put on the form because there was no spaces for other types of income and I figured it was pertinant. So I got another chance to talk with him. I think he likes us. But still it will come down to the credit check I imagine.”

“I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
:-)”

“Good luck, Dizzy Pam.

You am Pam.”

“Prayers Pammy, Remember, Its usually the people that feel they DONT need him he tends to provide what they need but not necessarily what they want. He's always there for people that need him. IMHO”

“Good luck Girlie!”

Day 241

Mark and Rudy are on their way home. One again we are a family divided. Mark and Rudy resume their lives in Louisiana and Trevor and I continue our lives at St. Jude.
It is so hard to see them leave. My poor Rudy continues to bounce from house to house. What we do without Cindy Watts and Denise Landaiche? They have giving him a home and plenty of love.

Tomorrow Trevor has light therapy.
Please pray that I can find the strength to continue this long journey.
