Prayer Request - 4/30

Debra Usry sent this message tonight:  "Charlotte Cannon had knee surgery this morning and will be in PRMC/Room 408 for a few days and then to rehab."

Our Sympathy...

Mike Grigsby sent this message tonight:  "My oldest brother, Patrick, has been in prison most of his adult life... but he has one son, Aaron (17).  Aaron's mother was killed in a car wreck last night.

Aaron is faithful to the LORD, is a good student and a great musician. He is now basically alone in the world.  Pray that God will dwell near him and fill him with peace beyond understanding."

 

After reading this message, I called to ask Mike about Aaron.  As he said, Aaron is on his own.  He's a junior in high school and has basic needs.  There's going to be a memorial service for his Mom on Friday morning, in Van, and Aaron needs clothes to wear and a pair of size 10 athletic shoes.  Basic needs.  Just breaks your heart. 
If you can help, with clothes/shoes/gift cards for Aaron, please contact Mike or Kathy.

Update on Kristi Anthony - 4/30

Posted by Austin at 8pm:  "I need everyone to pray tonight, not just lightly, really pray for Mom.  It has been better since she has gotten home but taking my Mom to meet a stranger every morning who takes her to Pate is the hardest thing I've ever done. I've cried the last two mornings after I've dropped her off.  Just knowing that she spends her whole day without us or her friends literally makes me sick. Her depression is making her so sad and she isn't the same person, though she is in a lot of ways. So DO this tonight. Do not pray for any of us but Mom. We need prayers but SHE needs them more than ever right now. I feel like God wanted me to say that tonight. -Austin"

Posted by Jay at 8:30am:  "Kristi fell last night. She tried to get up to go to the restroom without waking me. She is ok but it scared me to death and it worried her that she upset me. She wants to walk so badly and her poor memory is very troubling to her. Pray for strength and healing...we STILL need your faithful prayers as we are not in the homestretch yet. God is in Control, Jay"
