I just found out my favourite teacher from schooldays has cancer :( Don't know how bad it is yet, if anyone could pray for him that would be great. He is a really great teacher, he is the one who made me love languages. He is only in his 50s too.

Thanks.

The hospital requires payment for my MRI before they will actually do the procedure. Apparently it costs $1,035 to take a Polaroid.

You're still in my thoughts and prayers Rob. It breaks my heart to see you going through this. :hug:

Hey everyone! I could really use some prayer for direction and wisdom. I'm just at my wits end with what to do with my life at this point. I know what I WANT to do but I don't know what GOD WANTS me to do. Huge difference. Thanks so much. Love y'all!

Can you contact an Imaging Center outside of the hospital and see if they will let you make payments instead of having to pay it in a lump sum?

I've tried getting in touch with a few places, but they haven't called me back. I am working with my hospital to get into a financial assistance program, though.

I will be praying that something can be worked out - soon! :prayer:

Today marks the 9th year since my mom passed away from breast, meninges and liver cancer. Usually I'm all right, but this year it is hitting me pretty hard. Today, I thought back to when I was about 8 or 9 and she and I had just gotten home from getting her weekly blood work done. Something must not have been right with the blood work because before I could even take my coat off, she broke down sobbing - something that was incredibly, incredibly rare for her. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me through her sobs that she wanted to see me have my first boyfriend, graduate from high school and college, fall in love, get married and have kids. I actually laughed at the time, mostly because I thought that just graduating from high school was soooo far away, but also because I couldn't imagine her NOT being there for everything that was going to happen in my life. I really had no idea how ill she was.

Now when I think back on that, it almost makes me sick. I think about everything she's missed; I've already done a few of the things she mentioned and many more things that I know she would have wanted to see. Also, today makes me look back at just how HARD it has been without her. I had no woman to "show me the ropes" as I got older and have had to just stumble along the way, trying to figure it all out on my own - minus my dad's occasional and slightly embarrassed input.

I guess I'm just really sad today. I know that Abba has a plan and knew what He was doing when He brought her home nine years ago today, but that doesn't mean that I don't miss her terribly. It just means that I have a great reunion to look forward to, I guess. So, if you could pray... something. Abba knows, and I'd appreciate anything you'd be willing to pray on my behalf. Thanks guys. :hug:

I wish I could give you a real hug! I will pray for you though, and I hope the day gets easier for you :prayer:

While I know it's not anywhere near the same as having her physically here with you to celebrate these things, I do believe that she has been celebrating them with you spiritually all these years. :hug:

I can totally feel for your mother's sentiments when she broke down. I think that is any good parents biggest fear. I can only imagine how that has impacted you as you have grown and matured and are more capable of comprehending your mother's words.

I'm sorry that you haven't had a mother figure in your life to help guide you and teach you. :hug: If I can ever serve the purpose of "online big sister" for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to me!

I will be praying for you that the saddness you are experiencing will be replaced with God's comfort and peace.

Do you do anything - like journal - to "talk" to your mom during difficult times?

:hug: & :prayer: for you, Bit.

1700 people have lost their jobs today in Teeside (north east England):

BBC News - 1,700 jobs to go as Corus mothballs plant

This is going to have a knock-on effect on the entire area. The north east had such a tough time when Thatcher forced the mines to close, it must be like watching history repeat itself for some. Just thought this was deserving of prayer.

I also saw this story on the BBC news website:

BBC News - Explosion in Russian nightclub 'kills scores'

I know we can't pray for every news story etc but this sounds quite bad, and there was the terrorist attack in Russia recently too so seems they are having a tough time.

I just wonder what would happen if we all prayed for the people affected by these things.

God, I lift up the people affected by these events to you, as well as their families and friends. So close to Christmas it is terribly sad to think of families robbed of loved ones and hope for the future. Please give them the strength to battle through these hard times and protect them from harm. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
