Rejoice with us and pray with us.

Debra and April enjoyed going to the National Church Council of the Blind conference that was held here in Dallas this year and making new friends.  I also enjoyed meeting some people I had only spoken to over the phone and getting to share a message on that Sunday morning.  April is on the list for housing here in Dallas.  Brenda says the service for her brother was good.  She is glad to have seen him shortly before he passed away.  She asks prayer for her brother-in law.  Her mom seems to be doing well.  Cindy is well on the way to getting the sale on her house closed.  I’m excited to have made a little progress on a new project that I think the Lord has given me.

Debra is hoping she will be able to go back to the same conference next year.  April asks prayer over her living situation.  Anita is thankful that she has been doing well and prays for strength.  Keep praying for Kimi.  If I understand correctly, she was taken to the ER yesterday before time for church because they could not get vitals on her at the urgent care facility.  They have identified the issue and she is going to be ok.  Remember Ruth.  She was not able to make it to church again due to pain.  She was not up much last week.  I only got to speak with her a couple of times.  Brenda reminds us to pray for her daughter Becky and for her daughter’s friend Linda who lost her son.  Keep praying for Barbara A.  She is still dealing with pain.  Anita has learned that she has severe osteoporosis in her legs.  Dede’s back is hurting her.

Be blessed to be a blessing this week!

I am praising the Lord for new relationships that I pray will lead to new ideas for our church.  Leanne is enjoying her new job.  Debra is excited to get to go to a national church conference for the blind that will be held starting August 7.  Anita is happy that she has had no more trouble with dialysis and she is getting plenty of rest.  Brenda enjoyed getting to see family last week.  She asks that we pray for her mom and her brother.

Ruth fell a couple of times on Friday.  She is home sore from that.  Keep her and Cathy in prayer.  Priscilla came through her surgery well.  Pray for her continued recovery.  Right now she is in pain but better than before.  Cindy went to the doctor last week for the pain in her leg and they said it was a pinched nerve and gave her medication for it.  She was not with us.  I will check in with her today.  Edith is no longer able to keep working due to her health issues.  Pray for her healing inside and out.  Bobbi is struggling with her health and barely able to stand.  Leanne asks prayer for all of her family.  Anita prays for her aunt whose health continues to decline.  Dede asked for our prayers.  Pray for Brenda’s friend BJ as she deals with the stress of a marriage in crisis.  Pray also for her husband Charles.

Brenda says baby Callahan is doing well.  She and Don enjoyed time with old friends.  Linda and I enjoyed a rare good night’s rest.  We were glad to spend some time visiting with Debra.

Barbara A fell last week and hit her head.  She seems to be ok but keep her in prayer as she battles pain.  Cindy’s buyer backed out.  Pray she gets another soon   Pray for Pam struggling with depression.  Keep praying for Gerry G, in ICU with covid and several other issues.  Ruth didn’t feel able to come today.  We know how much she wants to be in church, so lift her up in prayer.  Pray for Priscilla.  She has more testing this week.  Remember Kimi also.

Ruth had a fairly good week.  Cindy’s house is under contract.  Linda and I enjoyed our low-key anniversary celebration.  Anita praises the lord that she has had no more trouble on dialysis.  Brenda sees some hope for her friend to be reconciled to her husband.

Priscilla will meet with the surgeon this week.  Keep Troy G in prayer, father of Cathy’s friend who fell and is now in the hospital not doing well.  Continue to pray for Danny H, who is still recovering from a car accident.  Cindy B, a former coworker of Cathy will have open-heart surgery on Tuesday.  Her brother Gary will have surgery on both knees also on Tuesday.  Keep praying for Ruth, though she assures us that she is fine.  🙂  Keep Kimi in prayer.  Pray for Linda.  Remember Austin as he continues recovery.  The seizure medication does not seem to work as well as they hoped.  Remember Debra’s stepfather Tim.  Anita asks prayer for her family.  A coworker of Brenda, Roy, broke his knee in 3 places and will need surgery.

Be an answer to prayer this week.  God often uses His people to accomplish His blessings.
