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

6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence

 6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence I have a close friend who started listening to my confidential words 46 years ago. He guards his lips and preserves secrets and deep friendship. He does not speak rashly. He doesn't add shame to the bad things l have experienced. He reduces my burdens by his grace. He has good judgement regarding when to speak and when to remain silent. This gives him good long term friends and deep joy. Proverbs 13 3  A wise son  accepts his  father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2  From the fruit of a person’s mouth he  [ a ] enjoys good, But the  [ b ] desire of the treacherous is violence. 3  One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips  [ c ] comes to ruin. 4  The soul of the  [ d ] lazy one craves and  gets  nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made  [ e ] prosperous. 5  A righteous person hates a f...

9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb

 9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb but unwilling to support and educate them for the next 18 years. Save your political action prayers for the meeting with your win/lose political party, whether you are democrat, republican or independependent as far as I'm concerned. Preach and sing the gospel but leave moral slobbery for some group that doesn't abuse children and cover it up and practices racism as a normal thing. The teacher said don't strain out gnats and swallow camels. Stop bad religion please. Matthew 25 31  “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.   32  And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;   33  and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. 34  “Then the King...

8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident.

 8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident. They train four years or longer for this moment on beam and fall down the beam or fall of the beam. They fly off and miss the uneven bars. Knowing they cannot win a medal. They have messed up and gone off the horse. What do they do? They get back on the horse. They finish their routine with a confident smile. They do not let that failure define them. Our life is not marked by a failure unless we allow it to be. The choice is ours. Bad day at work yesterday. Make today that much better. 2 Corinthians 4 7  But we have this treasure in  [ e ] earthen containers, so that the extraordinary  greatness  of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;   8  we are  afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;   9  persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;   10  always carryi...
