FaceBook Page for Before His Throne

New Page on FaceBook

Hi to all of our loyal "Before His Throne" prayer blog followers!

So sorry I've been sporadic about updating the prayer blog. Having a one year old and a firstgrader (along with a full time job) has not been easy! And, I know with Debbi's CF and Melanie's newborn and husband who has been deployed, it's not been easy on them either.

We have been praying :) And, remember, the Lord does not forget you. If we've missed posting your requests or your praises, the Lord has remembered many times over.

Please note that we will not abandon this blog but for now, We will mostly be posting requests as we can on FaceBook.

If you are not on FaceBook, don't worry. As I said, we will not stop posting here, but I did want to let you know where you can find us on FB.

We are on the Page: In Prayer; Before His Throne or you can click on the link below:

I just wanted to remind you also to rejoice in the Lord always - He Has Risen! Not only did Christ die for our sins but he LOVES us and cherishes us. We have a true friend in Jesus.

Love to you all,
Amanda

*K* has an EEG today

Please pray for 6 year old *K*. He has his annual EEG at 2pm today.

Pray that he would be comfortable, be able to sleep during the sleep EEG and that this test would (for the first time) show no abnormal brain activity. He has been on seizure medication for the past 6 years and it would be awesome if he could get off of the meds.

Also, please pray for his mommy, Wendi, that she would be calm, peaceful and comfortable while her baby has this test.


My friend - A Praise and Prayers are Still Needed Please

UPDATE:

Yesterday my friend had her follow-up appointment after her biopsy.
I received the following news:

They found some precancerous areas but everything is benign (Praise the Lord!) for now. She will begin to eat differently and take some vitamins while they watch and see over the next few months.

Please pray for her family as they adjust to the new Mommy (the one that's tired all the time) and please pray that she is healed.

-----------------------------------------------

Please pray for my friend. Her ex-husband was laid off the day before Thanksgiving. They have two children to support. Please pray for her upcoming doctor's appointment scheduled for Monday, January 5th at 2:30 pm CST, to discuss the results of her biopsy. (Right now she might have to take her kids and a few others to the doctor's appointment with her - alone. Please pray that somehow someone can help her or take the kids during the appointment.)

Alan and Jen - big day tomorrow

Please pray for Jen's strength tomorrow as she has to get around very early with the kids and getting Alan ready and to several doctor appts. tomorrow. Remember that she is having to wash, dress and lift a grown man- I am personally praying for someone to help her with that lifting!

Understandably she has really been struggling with the emotional and physical changes since Alan's accident this summer. And worrying about Alan. And I have no idea how hard it is for Alan to deal with all of this, too.

Pray for wisdom on the doctors part, healing, strength and for the friends who are keeping their children for the day.

Here is a picture from their CaringBridge site of Alan and Skyler. I thought it was very sweet!

Watching TV together!

Prayer for Maria

Maria from With Hope has been blessed with a baby in her womb again! Maria has been trying for over 2 years and with many procedures and Infertility medication she was pregnant last year and miscarried at 15 weeks in March of 2008.

She is pregnant again and we are hoping that the Lord will give her 9 healthy months and a precious healthy baby!

On Dec. 30th she went in for an ultrasound and they didn't find anything in her uterus, but her HCG level came back at 550 which is around 4-5 weeks. She had another bloodwork today and its in the thousands which is awesome! She will be going in for another ultrasound on Monday, Dec. 12th.

Please pray for Maria that the Lord will give her peace and strength. She is trying to trust the Lord with all her heart.

Thank you Lord for this little one in Maria's womb! Amen :)

Shannon's heart surgery

Please be praying for Shannon this week as she faces some serious heart surgery. I remember my husband's fear when he went through triple bypass 9 years ago. A very difficult time for Shannon and her whole family.

AmyB. is setting up something on her blog for Shannon, so go check that out and offer up your prayers and encouragement!

Tommy Beavers

Kahla sent me this prayer request:

Please pray for 5th grader Tommy Beavers.

Tommy was in a terrible four-wheeler accident on December 29th and was in a coma. The four-wheeler flipped/rolled on top of his head and it landed on the side with the back tire and rack. His left arm is broken, and least of their worries. Tommy was without/very little air for a short amount of time.

Read more of his story here and please pray for this family and this little boy.

Praise: for Sara

Updated:

Praise the Lord! Sara is 10 1/2 weeks pregnant!

Her next ultrasound is on January 12th.
