First, I was able to attend a class reunion and talked to an old friend who just found out he has a lung disease that can be terminal. I was not able to talk to him long enough to find out where he stands with the Lord. He expressed he has peace if it is his time to go, so I am hoping he does know the Lord. But, his wife was very upset about it all. Please pray for both of their souls and his healing, and that God would give her peace as well. His name is Joed, but I don't remember hers. - Sue 8/11
Please pray that I would hear God's direction concerning school this fall. I am still unsure if I should continue to take classes to get my teaching license, and if I do where I should go. If I am to go on, I I would like to take a break for a semester, as I have been feeling so tired. At my age, it doesn't seem to be the best thing to be taking breaks, or I will never get done!. Please pray that God would give me wisdom. - Sue 8/11
Mom is doing a little better. Her progress is slow and whether rehab, or nursing home, it is the luck of the draw to get out in better shape than you went in. Sometimes, it is so incredibly inefficient, I don't understand how anyone makes it home. She is still with a trach, a feeding tube, and a cath. All pushing, pulling, bleeding, and draining. It's so miserable for her, but, as we tell her, it would be harder to die than to get better. Taking into account, that one more bad weekend and we could go out with her. ... thank you all so much for your prayers. We couldn't make it without them. We still drive 3 hours a day to see her, and try to make sure that she is not falling out of bed, or lying in the same position for long, choking on who knows what, or just heard. She is too weak to push a call button and can't talk. - Shelley 8/10
Glenn may have an interview with Coca cola and I may have one with a call center as a trainer. I am still in the candidate pool for the US Airways job (the one that pays the best and I think I would like the best) Soooo...keep the prayers coming...I want what God's will is. - Mel 8/9
Mom is more aware and on oxygen, a feeding tube, catheter and very much aware of what hurts. She is completely immobile, at the mercy of overworked nurses, not have the time to turn her properly. So, my sister and I do. We drive one way an hour and half everyday, and I am about to collapse. I just need prayer for strength and wisdom. Living with sis and her husband. They are generous. I am stressed. Thank you for all your prayers. [Also requesting] Prayer for my finances also please. Obviously, I can't work just yet. - Shelly 8/1
