JUDI is thrilled to report that the grant from IBM has been processed and they have been approved! "The check's in the mail"
KATHY is thankful for Bobby's doctor who was very responsive after he had an episode today. He's scheduling tests to get underneath these new issues.
DARLENE and all of us give praise to God for how well Florida did with the hurricane. We were all really impressed and thankful for the job that the governor and state officials did.
CAROL H. is thankful for a lady who donated a lot of wonderful things: furniture, refrigerator, a lot of food a lot of clothes to their church after her mother passed away. It was really appreciated and everything was very nice.
LUCILLE is thankful her hemoglobin has gone up by half a point!
KATHY attended the birthday party at the Alzheimer's respite care meeting this last Thursday. She really had fun and enjoyed celebrating Bobby's birthday there.
KATHY is also thrilled that her son can now get for a four hour pass on Sundays from the program he's in. She brought him home this Sunday and they had a great visit. His cat, Ollie, was also thrilled to see him and be held by him ;-) They appreciate the help he's getting.
JUDI reports that seven churches are now involved in the housing meetings. The men in the group are going through for a walk through tomorrow for the facility they are really invested in the process of looking for ways they can help. The Lord has also removed some expenses such as permits and architect fees so there is more money for other needed things! Hallelujah! These involved pastors are also lining up to take turns preaching when the time comes!
CAROL H. reports that the Lord did give her the information she needed regarding her decision about helping the girl in prison. She got confirmation from a couple different sources and is working out buying things for her rather than giving her money.
PRAYER REQUESTS
CAROL B's friend Judy has a son Danny who has lupus. He's experiencing a lot of difficulties right now including for blood clots in his leg. Please pray for healing.
BECKY is struggling with a lot of pain especially in her hands with her disease. There is still more testing that needs to be done and she needs to be encouraged.
DARLENE'S brother Erv needs to have a hip replacement. When he went for pre-surgical testing they discovered one of his kidneys was dead and that he has diverticulosis in a part of his colon. His kidney and part of the colon need to be removed before he can have hip replacement surgery. Those removals are scheduled for 10/17. Erv has had to start using a cane to help him get around.
MARY LOU asks us to pray for her neighbor Stu who had back surgery and then got an infection in it . Now he is home, but getting IV infusions to get ahead of that infection.
JUDI has a very heavy heart regarding an unspoken request.
UPDATE: There was a very serious situation at the jail that I was requested not to speak about until we entered on Tuesday. I am asking for each of our Prayer Warriors to please pray for all the women that were involved and all the women in the dorms because they are also affected by what has happened. I ask that we pray AGAINST SATAN and to get him BEHIND US. He is roaming the dorms, sleeping on their bunks, inside their heads. He does not care about them - he only cares about trying to take them away from Jesus. Please pray him AWAY FROM THEM.
Ron and Judy Woodling need prayer support ad they deal with Ron's health issues.
