• Maria O.--Hello Everyone, I am asking that you pray for my 9 yr old nephew Christopher who has autism. He will be going in tomorrow for a tooth extraction at 7:30 am. He will first need to drink a liquid (that doesn't taste good) that will mildly sedate him in order for the dentist to be able to give him the shot that will numb out the area of the tooth extraction. Please pray that he swallows the liquid without resistance and also that it reacts well with him. Pray that he is sedated enough and quickly so that the dentist can give him the shot in his mouth and remove his tooth without any complications. Pray for Christopher to have peace and to feel calm and safe and loved. Pray for my sister Yolanda, for the Lord to give her the physical and emotional strength that she will need to hold Christopher during this procedure and throughout the day. Pray for the dentist and all envolved, that the Lord will guide their hands and bless them with patience for Christopher. Also pray for Christopher's pain to subside tonight so that he can get a good night's rest. Thank you for keeping my sister and my nephew in your prayers.

• From Elida R. from Driftwood regarding her children (Praise Report-answer to prayers) UPDATE!!!! THANK YOU ALLLLLL FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!!! GOD HAD PLACED A BRICK WALL FOR A VERY, VERY GOOD REASON!!!! PRAISE HIM, PRAISE HIM!!!! After our journey of faith walking trust... it looks like we have direction and answers from the Lord. We have come to conclude that maybe we wouldn't be considered for the financial assistance to John's medical bills if we bought the home during the processing of our application and currently it looks positive that we are going to get either all or large discount to John's medical bills - Praise be to our Father!!! Then, the home sellers have agreed to let us lease until we can be approved for our loan to buy which should only be 3-6 months and by then we will have our medical bills finalized as well. We sign our lease tomorrow but they can't be moved out until Thurs. Then we will go over and move in Thurs. AND I want you to know that because we don't have the time to get our things out of storage until Sat. We are going to sleep on our NEW mattress until we get our beds!!! Yah...thank you ...thank you.. we are sooo happy. We laughed last night because I said, Honey...there's light at the end of the tunnel. John said, YA and it's not a train! Hee Hee We are so thankful for the prayers; PLEASE let your warriors know how blessed we are that our family in Christ carried this burden with us! ________________________________________________________________
