PRAISE AND PRAYER REQUEST 2012

The one thing that has struck me the most over the course of the journey over the last year has been one word, PRAYER. It has been a major theme of much of what I have read about. It has also been a constant on my mind and even in my writing. So as I begin this new year in just a few more hours I would like to bring up to all of you some things that you can thank the Father for us about as well as prayer request that we have.

Things that we praise the Lord for.

1.       For allowing us to be a part of the ministry at Reeves for almost 12 years.

2.       For a place for us to stay during this transitional period in our lives as a family.

3.       For the temp work that I have been able to work at that has helped provide for us.

4.       For Calvary Community Church and their love offering and above all a church that we can call home while we are here in Lincoln.

5.       For the many calls and prayers from so many of you. Many of you have gone out of your way with words of encouragement and love. Your friendship, love and gifts have meant the world to us and we thank the Lord for the fellowship.

6.       For the increased readership to our blogs: thebearsandmybible.blogspot.com and theartofwalkingslow.wordpress.com  This month we are knocking in at close to a 1,000 views. Thanks for reading.

7.       For how God has provided for Hannah to be able to go to Frontier School of the Bible without any debt. She is truly growing in the Lord and we are so grateful.

8.       For Hadassah as she is now halfway through her Junior year and is talking about going to Bible College.

9.       For our family members both here in Lincoln and in Arkansas who have gone out of their way to show their love towards us in so many ways.

Things to pray for us about.

1.       That the Lord might provide for us a full time ministry soon. I miss sharing His Word so very much.

2.       For my testimony to my co-workers that I will have a clear testimony to all that I come into contact with during these days. (God has allowed many good opportunities already.)

3.       For Julie as she and Haddy deal with this transition time as well. Pray as they continue to go forward with Haddy’s schooling.

4.       Pray for safety for Hannah as she goes back to school this month.

5.       Most importantly of all pray that we might learn to love Jesus even more this year than ever before.

     Once again brothers and sisters thank you for all that you have done for us and may our Father make 2012 your best year in service for Him ever.
