Special Prayer Need

Special Needs for Prayer
Friends in Jesus,

You have been so faithful to pray for us when we need special prayers.  

Several years go Sheila’s nephew, her brother Stan’s son, Travis Self, went to Mexico on a mission trip and contracted unique form of hepatitis.  He was near death at only 17 years of age.  He received the blessing of getting a liver transplant and he is doing well today.

About three years ago his sister in law, Miranda Self, his brother Spencer’s wife,  was discovered to have a brain tumor.  She had surgery which went well and then other treatments and had been doing well until a recent MRI revealed another tumor in her brain.  It appears to be a different kind of brain tumor than the earlier one.  She is a strong believer in Jesus and full of trust, yet we desperately need your prayers.

Surgery is in the morning, Thursday, 6.5,14,  at 8am at Dallas Presbyterian hospital.  Her family and friends will be there to support her.  She has great confidence in her surgeon and the staff there where her earlier surgery was performed. 

Miranda, 30,  and Spencer have a wonderful, sweet son, Jackson, 4, so we are appealing for God’s grace and blessing in this surgery.  We don’t know how prayer works, but we know that it does work and we thank you for praying for her tonight and tomorrow. 

Here is her note on Caring Bridge:

Good evening sweet ones! I just wanted to send a quick little reminder that tomorrow is my surgery day and I cannot even BEGIN to tell you how ready we ALL are to have it done and OVER WITH!!!

The first go around was pretty short, quick and sweet! This time, having two WHOLE weeks to just sit and think about it has been, for lack of a better word that I can think of at the moment... TORTURE!!!!!! Spencer, Jackson, my parents, family, friends and a whole bunch of people will be at the hospital in the morning, and all I ask for are your prayers and support for them! They need it, I need it, we all NEED it! It helped so much the first time and I know it will help again! I'm calling on all prayer warriors, yet again!

Thank you again! We love you all! And He will guide us and lead us through this time, just like the first time!!!

Love, Miranda
So thanks again to all my wonderful family and friends for joining us in this.

Love,
Larry and Sheila Wishard

9.4- Broken eggs.

9.4- Broken eggs. I had been warned Don't try to carry too much in from the grocery store at once. Learn the hard way or the easy way. Why does the only thing that falls off is the most fragile? The carton was crushed. Several eggs were broken. I have learned to keep looking when a little frustration comes to stay alert. Some good can come out of something bad. Getting laid off from the wrong job can lead to the right job. Getting bumped from the wrong flight to get the right flight, five minutes later plus a free flight. Now I watch for the turn and learn from frustrating little things. Broken eggs. Scrambled eggs. Romans 12 14  Bless those who persecute  [ q ] you; bless and do not curse.   15  Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.   16  Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be  [ r ] haughty in mind, but  [ s ] associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.   17  Never repay evil for evil to anyone.  [ t ] Respect what is right

9.2- There was this grasshopper who appeared to be very old and very wounded.

 9.2- There was this grasshopper who appeared to be very old and very wounded. He drug himself along. Where he was amazed me. On the ground level at the gas station near Gordon Texas was dirt and oil and the danger of feet and tires. As I pumped 39.30 worth of fuel I wondered how did he get out of the dirt and danger to the safety of the top of the gas pump? As I get older I sometimes feel I am dragging along like a grasshopper. My spirit is fueled by seeing how my life includes my maker providing safety for me by the help of family, friends and strangers. Two such are my nephew, Lynn And Sheri Luttrell. He is a prof. at ACU and she the owner and leader of stepping Stones school. Got to spent two days of fun, 42 and homemade ice cream last week. Ecclesiastes 12. 12  Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years approach when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”;   2  before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened

 9.3- I have been given a bed to go to sleep in where a window is high and laying on my back I can see the moon at times. Flat of my back I can choose to think of the maker of the moon. A space craft from India landed there yesterday near the south pole of the moon where they think there may be water. Once the greatest human who ever lived faced his hardest days. He spoke words of steady trust and submission to his loving heavenly Father, maker of heaven and earth. "If possible may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Matthew 26. 39  And He went a little beyond  them , and fell on His face and prayed, saying,  “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You  will .”   40  And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and He *said to Peter,  “So, you  men  could not keep watch with Me for one hour?   41  Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is  [ p ] willing,
