PastorBooks...I am INCREDIBLY sorry to read this!!! I’m calling in Logan’s and trussell’s prayer warriors to pray for your health, for your full recovery.
AND that you keep your eye on the end game...Jesus. His coming soon for His Church....His loving you and me, all of us!!
In spite of this stroke, for some reason, He has kept you here. And me. I’m still here today. Our work isn’t done. Pray that you will recognize what He wants you to do, be open to it...He does love you...!
And, I’ll find a roll of wrapping paper and beat you over the head with it if you don’t ping me (one of us?) with a health report!!!
Now you have a MERRY CHRISTmas!!! :)
BTTT
Thank you, all, for the advice and the prayers!
I am planting my first church and the Lord has brought my first couple as members. Yay!!!
About three years ago a business I had failed and I ended up living in my car. I posted a prayer request for trussell’s prayer warriors at the time. The Lord heard their prayers. I ended up living in a cabin in the Arkansas hills, away from people and offline, where the Lord could show me some things about the Church and church planting.
He has restored! Now I have a small storefront shop in town and am starting two businesses. I don’t have much but I have a TON of encouragement from the Lord.
I am excited beyond belief! He’s doing something here in this Arkansas town. I can feel it. And He’s finally starting to use me. His timing is perfect.
Now I need healing for my body so I can have the energy to do what I need to do. I have fought exhaustion for years — low thyroid, mitral valve prolapse, apnea, and some other things, all of which cause lack of energy. And now stroke??? We do have our treasure in earthen vessels, don’t we!
So, yes, I could use your prayers. Pray for my tiny church, for health, for His supply, and that I would hear Him.
Bless you!
Pastor Books: You are in my prayers.
Skooz: I spent last night alone, too — with Ralphie and the original “Miracle on 34th Street” (and the occasional pity party). ... My daughter and grandson did stop in for a few minutes to put some things in my car for today. ... I’m praying the body cooperates so I can go to my mom’s in a few hours; plans are to stop at my brother’s on the way home to have dinner with them. (I usually spend Christmas Eve with them, but since my move, I knew if I drove the one-hour round trip to their place last night, that I wouldn’t have the stamina to drive the two-hour round trip to mom’s today. This way I can stop at my brother’s half way home from my mom’s, so it’ll break up the drive time on the way home. At least I’m hoping that’ll work out.) ;)
Hi Brad’s Gramma,
Thank you for all you do throughout the year for so many people who are in trouble. I love how all the Freepers come together to offer prayer for those who need it so badly. We hope PastorBooks will take your advice. We have to believe we are here for a reason. We may not know what it is but...it will be revealed to us soon enough.
Christmas blessings and Happy New Year to you and yours. Keep up the good work. You are a “Freeper Angel!” :)
