Prayer Thread for Yellow Rose of Texas - THIS IS NO DRILL!!

Posted on 02/13/2003 11:28:49 AM PST by TEXOKIE

Long time Freeper Yellow Rose of Texas has recently had an attempted back surgery during which her aorta, which was encased in scar tissue, was nicked and had to be repaired. In a previous prayer thread, many many folks have graciously offered their prayers and comments of encouragement to her. I spoke with Yellow Rose of Texas yesterday and here is the latest!

Her recovery to the previous surgical attempt to do the back surgery has been phenominal. She saw her doctor two days ago on Tuesday. She is doing well enough that he has scheduled her back surgery in a week for TUESDAY FEBRUARY 18, 2003. She had initially been told it would be a few weeks longer to recover, but she has amazed her doctor and he judges that she is ready for the next procedure.

Rose has asked me to thank you each and every one so very much for all your thoughts and prayers on her behalf. She asked me to quote her,

"Thank you so much. I feel each and every one of your prayers. The Good Lord is with me and my family. I dont feel scared at all. This surgery will stabilize my back and it'll all be fine. I feel so protected. I am hoping that this surgery will enable me to once more return to the freeping that I enjoy. It has seemed in my life that if something unusual can happen, it will happen to me. Please pray that the surgery be routine. NO SURPRISES!! LOL!!"

Thanks for the good news on Rose.

TEXOKIE, I have a prayer request for my niece Jane. She is on a ship in the Persian Gulf, poised for combat. She has a very crucial and very secret job to do there. Please pray that she and her shipmates will be safe, that the Lord will cover them with his Precious Blood and bring them home safely....and any other fine prayer words that you have to add. Thanks!

You are welcome for the update, GretchenEE. Thank you so much for the prayers for both Rose and my sister!

You wrote, "I've often found that, about the time we give up on hoping things will change, and have adapted to the rigors of a severe, long-lasting trial, God moves. Looking back, and in light of what unfolds when we turn that corner, we see how marvelously God has been changing ... us ... while He would not change our circumstances, and developing qualities and opportunities in secret that can only be manifested after His times are fulfilled.

His ways are not my ways. But then, His ways bring eternal life. Mine don't! "


So very well said! Thank you! ((((((HUGS)))))))

Palladin has requested that we please pray for his family member.

Dear Palladin,

You are welcome for the update on Rose. I am so looking forward to her coming back here!

Thank you for letting our circle know about the service your niece is perfoming for us and for your request for prayers. I have been praying for Jane, but I would also like to offer one for her here on our thread as well.

OUR FATHER,

Our friend Palladin has informed us that their precious niece, Jane, is on a ship in the Persian Gulf. We have been told that she has a very crucial and very secret job to do there.

Father, we know that you have her in your loving attention at all times, but according to your will and the divine plan you have for the outcome of these historical events, we ask that you will dispatch a legion of angels to surround her and all of her shipmates, especially in any secret missions you have assigned for them to carry out. Father, we ask that you will send your Son before them to clear the way and to make each of these missions 100% effective with a minimum of destruction of property and loss of life.

Father, we love and care for these precious young people who have placed their lives on the line for our nation and for each of us individually. We ask that you will surround them with that love from our hearts so that they can actually feel it and be lifted by it. If these young folks are homesick and missing their families, lift them up and encourage them while they are performing the actions to which their sacred honor has called them.

Give comfort and peace to the families and friends these young people have left behind. Strengthen the loving ties which bind us to these very special young people. Help us to always feel your Presence, Lord and to know at all times that you are watching and caring for us and them.

Father, this which we call forth for Jane and her shipmates, we call forth for all of our young people who are in harm's way in our armed services. Each and every one of them is beyond price, and yet they and we are willing to place them into this perilous situation because there is a job of liberation to do. There is a people who are under the boot of a ruthless killer who has shed his own people's blood for over 30 years. There is a huge number of people who are yet grieving the loss of around 3000 people taken from us September 11, 2001.

Father, we do not go to war only in the name of revenge, or for oil as some have accused us, or material gain. Father, we are striving to climb to a higher purpose and motive than that. We have been awakend to the fact that there is a lot of hatred being marshalled against us individually and our nation collectively. For whatever reason the source of this hatred directed toward us wishes our annihilation if they could accomplish it. We truly are in a battle for our lives. Not only that, we are in a battle for our very civilization and the progress which at least 5000 years of development by your guidance have brought us.

Father, we thank you for this opportunity to come before you in this online prayer circle. Please bless each one of these who post and lurk here. Please bless the larger circle of your children who love you sincerely, no matter what their religious persuasion. Guide all our leaders. Especially do we come together and ask you to guide our President George W Bush, upon whose shoulders rests the decision to send these young soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guarders into war. Bless these young people. Bless the veterans. Bless all who love this nation no matter where on the globe they may reside. God, please, bless America and her true allies.

Amen

"Her instructions are to STAY DOWN!! In other words, NO COMPUTER for a while."

So glad to hear the good news and thanks for the update.

That bit about the computer ----- I have a desktop and a laptop. I told my husband that I also want a computer on the wall beside my bed -- the same height as my pillow and the keyboard at an angle so that I just have to roll over, or reach out, to get on line. This sounds just like what Rose needs!! Now, if we could only find someone to custom make this!!!! LOLOL!

Prayers will continue.
