Prayer Request Thread

I have an interview with the county DSS on Nov 5 👍🏻

I have been working on me really hard. I can now do 2 laps, rapid pace around my perimeter trail with no stops and feeling great. We’re in mountainous terrain so the 1.5 miles and elevation changes are tougher than most would think.

Hitting the weights 3 times a week and already seeing changes. I used to be very fit and know how but at 54 things are slower to adapt and heal LOL.

Working on my mindset. No one is responsible for my happiness and satisfaction in life but me. To put that responsibility on another is not fair nor practical. Only person I can change and control is me. Joy comes from inside.

I appreciate continued prayer.
Took a rest day yesterday and came back today and beat my 2 lap time by a lot plus did 3rd lap. My regular workout was fantastic as well.

The real battle is in your head - The Word

Give yourself a foundation that cannot be shaken with reading the Bible, praying, and being outside more and online less.

🙏 for Liam. He will do wonderful. Homemade Chicken soup, fluids, rest, antipyretics (tylenol and ibuprofen).



back to the gym this week for me, as the last 4 weeks have been a whirlwind of hunting trips and working a lot in between.
Was religious 5x a week between weights and cardio for 6 months prior and feeling awesome.


Let us daily have His light and love shine through us, that the world might know of him.
 
@Lawless

Pretty much back to his cute, inquisitive love bug self.

We are keeping him here at our place today 🥰

Prayers for you and Mrs. Lawless.
We have been married almost 32 years. God LITERALLY gave her to me, pointed me to her because she prayed for the right man on a Sunday morning and by that Sunday night I was driving across town to go somewhere because I felt if I didn’t I would be damned.

I will type out the whole story sometime but it is mind blowing.
 
Want to update on my requests. Things have improved between Angie and myself. Neither of us are in any way wanting out and I hope that wasn’t the impression I gave. Sometimes I think we lose sight of each other somehow.

Angie recently went through her dad progressing through dementia and subsequently passing. If anyone should understand just how it can affect you as an adult to lose a parent, it should be me. We have committed to each other to have more patience and be less quick to be angry.

I have been looking for a job, this area is not like more urban areas and the closest larger city is 50 minutes away. I have applied to several employers, please pray for the right fit.
Glad to hear you 2 are working well with each other to make your lives better. Good stuff. I hear you on the job front. I’m in job flux too.

My ex set me up on a blind with my wife. I had been praying for someone to love and be loved by. The Lord has plans for ALL of us. We have to listen and obey.
 
I talked with Toni today while I did my 4 laps/3.2 mile hike (humble brag) and she is in a much better state of mind. She is dealing with some horrific stuff yall, it makes my childhood seem tame….and a recent trauma so messed up it makes me sick to my stomach.

She has contacted a therapist and is going to see them regularly. I speak with her and listen daily. She is a very good friend and generous to a fault, amazing really considering everything she has experienced.

Please continue to pray for her, feel free to tell others so they can pray as well.

She is better and it is because of praying people and a Loving God.
 
Updates….

My wife and I are so happy and in love. Whatever had gotten between us is destroyed and we are one person again. Thank you if you uttered our names in prayer.

My friend Toni is doing well and is in a good good place. Please keep her in your prayer.

My daughter does not have full resolution of the pseudo-tumor in her head but test are showing that possible ancillary problems are not in play so news is mostly good. Please keep Erica in your prayer.

Love you folks
 
alright guys.

I dont have any details, and a friend from work has been out for a few days.
Some kind of family emergency.
Anyways, Katelyn spoke to her briefly today and said that I should ask others for prayers too.

Her name is Brandi.

God knows the details

Thank you in advance
Praying for God's will and Brandi's salvation. Regardless of whatever else the problems may be, salvation is the most important.
 
Prayers up for @tokiwartooth
Gents, sorry about not being here for a while, the last 6 months have been a bit tough dealing with a detached retina and multiple surgeries to correct it. Unfortunately, caused by an artifact from my ex wife punching me in the eye 10 years ago. Can’t even work on the ones I still have from peeps. If I have your scope, pls let me know if you want me to send it back, it may be some time before I’m cleared .
 
Some reports:

My MIL is doing ok. She came up and stayed Monday night with us and while at times she was a little somber, overall she is well. Losing a 50 year spouse is something that takes a part of you. Remember Phyllis.

My friend Toni is doing really well. She is seeing a good guy, a kind and thoughtful man who I approve of 😅 and he has helped her even more to get her bearings. Holidays are hard for those of us with childhood trauma and I appreciate you continuing to remember her.

My daughter is well, has lost 20 lbs and is back to work. We still have no real answers about the pseudo-tumor in her brain but it isn’t cancer and we’re thankful. This coming year the doc may put in a stent to keep pressure off of the spine but apparently going in to take the mass out isn’t necessary. Please remember Erica.

I still have not accepted a job. More interviews are coming. Remember my unemployed rear end.

My wife and I are in such a good place. Words cannot express how I feel about her and our almost 32 years in marriage. Rough patches happen people, it is almost a certainty. Ours seemed pretty awful when we were in the middle of it a while back but we didn’t quit putting in the effort and we made it back to bliss again. Don’t let your mind and the world cause you to fall into the trap of taking your spouse for granted. Chase them, pursue them, date them, compliment them, fill up their love tank with whatever fuel they run on and watch the life come back into your covenant. Real honest conversations about where you are at with open listening about where they are is key. Silence and resentment solve nothing. I spent a month examining myself, getting into a mindset of kindness and generosity and out of the selfish victim mentality that I had fallen into. I worked on ME and my wife saw that and worked on HER and we met back together from a place of complete trust and love. Praise Yah! Remember us.
