Christian bandsters

If there are any Christians out there who are looking for special support during this time I thought we could start a thread related to this. It might help with those thoughts and doubts as to if this is the right thing we are doing or any other 'shares' that might come to mind. I could use some at this time in my walk.

Sister in Christ,

Valerie

  • Anyone remember when Joyce Meyer got her facelift? She said and I heard it on TV, when she was on stage, "If you're teeth were crooked, you'd get braces wouldn't you?" So why would plastic surgery

Hi all

It is so good to hear children of the most high speaking of is goodness. I belive God has a plan for all of us and as we take this walk to good health the devil will put alot of things in our paths to take our mines off of God and put it on our problems. God bless all of you on your road to good health.

I was band on 1/7/08 I have lost 27lbs so far thank God.

Good morning everyone,

Welcome Eileen and Ladyroz,

Isn't this thread great? We are so blessed to have everyone praying for

this board. I prayed this morning and I know that we are going to hear some great praise reports here. Be blessed everyone

Hi everyone! It has been a little while since I was here. A lot of reading to catch up on. It is amazing what God is doing in everyone's life. The support you can get here is awesome! God bless everyone. I am praying for all.

Hello all of you,

I need your prayers!! I called my doctor's office to find out the status of my surgery. The nurse was with a patient and couldn't take my call. She hasn't called me back and I'm so nervous about it. I usually don't get this way but this is soooo important.

Hi Eileen, THANK you so much for your prayers.

And, welcome to Ladyroz. will be praying for you, jaunderwood.

I also have an urgent prayer request. A lady from my church (who is a very sweet and very giving person) just found out two days ago that she has the worst kind of leukemia. She was admitted into the hospital yesterday to start chemo. Her name is Patti Hinton. PLEASE be praying for her. Thank you all for all your love and care.

Hello all,

Icalled my doctor's office for the 3rd time this week. She was in a meeting but sent me word that she hasn't forgotten about me and she's still working on it!! I hope I get to talk to her soon.

I'm more at peace today and I know it will all work out. I continue to seek your prayers. I am praying for all those that have asked.

Hi all. You are all in my prayers. Thor, can't wait for your praise report. 2bemeagain and wombat-thank you for your prayers. I felt 'em and here is my praise report. I saw the surgeon yesterday. The 4 hour appt was just that. Met with the dietician, surgeon....all I have left is the EKG and psych eval and neurology clearance (had a possible CVA last year). That is scheduled for Monday and Wed next week but waiting on psych eval still. The surgeon said my insurance moves fairly fast which is surprising to me. Hoping for date by April??? Maybe I am optimistic but then all things are possible!! Satan is still raging but I am taking one minute at a time. He threw obstacle after obstacle in my way but I went to my appt anyway and I was truly blessed. I knew it was God's will to go because I felt it in my heart - it wasn't God telling me to delay. You know sometimes you just know. Please pray for me and my husband. We are really having a tough time and I don't understand. After 27 years I just didn't think there would be such tough times. I love you all through Christ. Thanks for caring. Cindy And Thor--bring on that report!!
