Please keep my Mom, sisters and all our family in your prayers through this Christmas season. This will be the first Christmas without my Dad. He went to be with our Lord & Savior on Jan. 22 of this year. It's been a rough year with alot of "first" without him. We miss him so much & the pain is sometimes unbearable. Even though we know he is with Christ because he was saved through the blood of Jesus Christ! We know we will see him again, but the pain is still here & hard to get through a day without crying.
Also, please pray for my health. I had to quit my job in July & cant even look for another one until my health improves. I have severe back problems, stomach problems & migraines. 2009 has been a very rough year health wise, emotionally, spiritually & financially. Luckily my kids are old enough to understand that there wont be much for Christmas this year. They know the true reason for the season, to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ & God's precious gift of salvation through His only Son.
Thank you, God bless you, and may we all remember Christ during the busy holiday season. Merry Christmas! :)

I appreciate all the prayers that got our family through our first Christmas without my Dad. Tomorrow is the 1st year anniversary of his passing. Today is my Mom's birthday. My sisters & I will be spending tomorrow all day with Mom. I can't believe it's been a year already. The pain is still so fresh & raw & sometimes just so unbearable. 2009 has been such a tough year for our family and we are praying for 2010 to be one of hope, joy & comfort. Thanks for all your prayers.

i have had back problems, stomach problems & severe headaches for several years. i've had back injections over the last few years. none have worked, except the last 2 i had lasted longer than any in the past. i have severe insomnia and none of the meds my dr put me on are helping me sleep. they just make me off balance & a little "out of it".
im still grieving severly from my dads death back in Jan 2009. i just cant seem to go a day or night without crying or hearing a song that reminds me of him. i'm trying to find Christian grief counseling but our insurance wont cover that & we just dont have any money right now. we filed for bancruptcy a couple years ago & i've been out of work since July 2009 due to the stress at work & health issues. i'm 44 yrs old & feel like 90. i just have no energy to do anything & the insomnia makes it even worse. please pray that God will heal my broken heart over losing my dad & that Christ's healing hands will be upon me. thank you & God bless you! :)
