Add these to your list!!

Please remember Mandy. She had surgery to put screens around the blood clots and examine the problems in her colon and large intestine. They may have to do surgery on the colon but have not had to do so at this time. They are hoping medications will work to alleviate the problems. Please pray the medicine will work and Mandy will recover without any more surgeries.

Steve and Elizabeth Rose's children Tanner and Brooklyn Rose were killed in an car accident on Sunday. Elizabeth is in White County Medical Center (Searcy, AR) and Steve is in St Vincents (Little Rock). They are both graduates of Harding University.

Current info from Ethan's page:
URGENT UPDATE!!! Please help fire up the prayer chain again. ETHAN HIT A MAJOR ROAD BLOCK TODAY! The MRD results came back ad showed that Ethan now has 38% LEUKEMIA in the marrow. That is a significantly higer number than the 16% that the microscope showed. We are not sure why the large difference, but it really doesn't matter. That is the more detailed test, so that is what it is.

So, here is the next move. We go in tomorrow to sign papers to prepare Ethan for transplant. Given the high number, the odds are stacked against him even more so. But furthermore, if there are any blasts in the peripheral blood when we check in to the hospital Friday, Ethan would no longer be a candidate for a bone marrow transplant.

Basically what I am saying is this. The two likely scenarios are:
1. we will go in and there will be LEUKEMIA in the peripheral blood.
2. we will go in and the LEUKEMIA is even higher in the marrow and we just won't know it.

Either way is very bad. However!!!!!! Our God is much bigger than 38%. If you need visul evidence to BeLIeVe then you have it all wrong. We have to BeLIeVe before we will see anything. So I am going to turn it over to God to answer our cry, and I am pleading with you to help get this prayer chain going stronger than ever. I cannot stress this enough. From every conversation that we've had with the doctors, this is the last attempt. Please continue to pray with us and BeLIeVe... PRAYER WORKS!!!

Prayer needed NOW!

I got this message from MaryAlice last night. Please pray for this situation!

I have been blessed with the opportunity to teach a girls' bible class at my school. All semester, my co-teacher and I have been praying for a specific situation to occur. Well, the prayer has been answered, and we believe the Holy Spirit has brought the situation to fruition. My co-teacher and I will be addressing the situation with our girls' tomorrow during class. Even though we believe the Holy Spirit has orchestrated what is about to occur, I am asking people to pray specifically for us from 10:00-11:00a (the time the class meets). I am asking that people pray that God will grant us wisdom, that we will be completely open to the Spirit's leading, and that His words, not ours be spoken. I am also asking that people pray that our students' will be listening to the Holy Spirit as well, and that the whole class be protected from Satan and his malicious attacks. If you could post this on the blog, I would greatly appreciate it. I will give you an update this weekend as to how it went.

Add this request....

Keisha wanted us to remember this in our prayers! Cary Tucker was in an 18 wheeler wreck... please keep him and his wife Sheila in your prayers. I do not know how bad it is at this time but will keep you posted.

Prayer Request List, December 10th

Nicole gave me this request in Nov... due to computer issues it is just now getting posted! (So sorry Nicole).

One of the ladies in our life group had her baby Monday night at 26 1/2 weeks. Little Reese weighs 1lb 12oz and was 12 inches long. She's breathing and crying on her own, as of last night. Jenni is still recovering, but there's going to be a long NICU road ahead.
