Spiritual Warfare

Spiritual warfare is in the air.

Please pray for my friends. They are the missionaries that I worked with over Christmas, and right now they are in the states raising money and having their third child (L*, born about 3 weeks ago). On their way back from TX, they were in a car accident in which he broke his wrist, while R*, A*, and G* all got cuts and bruises. I'm so thankful they're alright, but I know that A* was not insured at all in the accident, so this is going to be a blow to the finances. Please pray for everything that comes about from this accident and for their continued recovery. It is obvious they are doing great things and the devil wants to stop them where ever he can.

As for me, I've had some stuff thrown in my face in the past week or so, and it hasn't always been easy going. I'm working slowly but surely to get my finances in order, and my paperwork finished. I've also had some school work thrown back on me that needs to be finished for licensure. The shipping company comes on Monday for my stuff to go away to India, and it's a little bit nerve-racking.

Prayer requests:
Finances: The Lord has provided so much, but there is so much left to buy and pay for. Please pray that God provide what I need as you feel led.
The P*'s: As I mentioned above, they are an amazing family and doing great work in the Kingdom, so please pray for their healing as well as the success of their fundraising while they're here. If you have any interest in helping them, the link for Crosspoint of India is on the right of this page.
My father: He has some major health problems that are in a constant state of decline recently. He called my during my prayer time on Wednesday to tell me the latest news. In December my father had his gallbladder taken out, and because of this, did not get the heart difibrilator that he needed. So he went back to Florida to finish his recovery. Now he's back in New York, and had some tests done on his tumor last week. Luckily, at the moment it is not growing or spreading (though official confirmation from the biopsy is expected next week). Praise God. However, he now has glaucoma in his right eye (though he's been partially blind in that eye since I was 6 due to a stroke). That's left him with some new drops to help the situation. But the big thing is he's going back to the hospital on Monday for more tests and discussion of the heart difibrilator. He wants to hold the surgery off until I get to New York (I'm going up in about 2 weeks). He wants all his children to be around him while he goes under for surgery if that's what it comes down to.
*whew* that was longer than I though it was going to be
My mother: I can tell she's having a hard time dealing with me leaving. She won't say it directly, but I can see it and hear it. I know this has to be hard on her.

I'm going to stop for tonight. Please let me know if there's anything I can pray for you about, or anything I can do for you.

Or, you could let me know if your church is interested in sponsoring a young person that is moving to India, and I'll do what I can to come visit. :-)

In His Holy Name
