Please Pray

Hello everyone,
I'm sorry that I haven't been keeping this very updated, but I guess I have been very busy since I've been back in Germany. There just seems to be so many things going on right now and it only seems appropriate to pray because there is nothing else we can really do. I will try to remember everyone and every situation that I can that I really want you to pray for and think about. Thank you for your prayers! God hears them!

1. My grandma (Mama) is back in the hospital for the second time in 2 weeks or so. She has been having many problems. Please pray for her and for my whole family. My parents are driving to Texas today to see her and to try to do anything they can to help. Her name is Betty Wooldridge

2. My sister Amy, niece Ashlyn and brother-in-law Doug are evacuating from Houston because of Hurricane Rita. They are not so worried about damage and flooding because they are in North Houston, but still pray for their safety and all the people in that area. I'm not sure if Doug is leaving with them or staying, but please pray for all of them.

3. My aunt and uncle and cousin are in Port Lavaca, Texas- right on the gulf coast. They must also evacuate. Please pray for Karen, Rickey and Eric's safety.

4. My cousin Robin, her husband James and their daughter Katy are also in Houston. They are in the South part and must evacuate. James is a volunteer fire fighter and was asked to stay to help with rescues.

5. We can continue to pray for all the hurricane Katrina refugees and those affected by the entire disaster.

6. Kevin, a 3 year old boy here in Germany is the nephew of some of my friends from church. They have just diagnosed him with a malignant brain tumor. He will begin Chemo treatments soon. Please pray for this whole family.

7. My brother and sister-in-law will soon be having their baby girl! Lana is going to the Dr. on Tuesday and basically anytime after that she could go into labor. They are trying some natural ways to get her labor started because she has gestational diabetes and they don't want the baby to get too big. I could have a new niece within the next couple of weeks! Pray that everything goes well with Lana and the baby! Pray for Jonathan too!

8. Larry's brother is having some serious kidney problems and they are not sure what can be done yet. He is diabetic so this adds to the problem. Please pray for John.

These are the things that I have had on my heart and mind a lot lately and there are probably many many more that I could name, but I wanted to just share them with you so you can pray! Thanks again!
