Thank you all so much for your prayers this past week! If we can pray for you, please leave your prayer request in the comments below, or feel free to email me - michelle.ann.ellis@gmail.com
Before we get to our requests for this week, I just want to take a minute to think about the significance of this weekend. I love Easter weekend. When I think of the sacrifice that God made, his one and only son, and the suffering that Jesus willingly went through, both just to cleanse us of our sins, I'm speechless. I cannot imagine the selflessness, the strength, the love and the trust that they both exhibited. We are so blessed and so lucky to have someone love us so much. It is humbling to say the least. I am overcome with emotion when I truly sit and consider the story of Jesus on the cross, and his Resurrection. Have you accepted Jesus and your Lord and Savior? God gives us the gift of eternal life, unconditional love, and forgiveness for all of our sins, no matter how awful. If you do not have Jesus in your heart, please feel free to reach out. I am no expert by any means, but I love the Lord and would love to pray with you and for you. I hope you all have a wonderful, glorious Easter filled with family, friends and love.
Here are our prayer requests for this week -
Could you please pray for Kylie and her husband? They are looking for guidance while making some big decisions in their lives. Specifically a house remodel and a new car. Please pray for God to speak to them and point them in the right direction.
Please pray for my coworker, Sam. He lost his son to a heart attack two weeks ago. Sam is one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with, and it hurts my heart to think of what his family is going through. He is currently going through chemo for cancer himself, so please pray for the healing of his family and his body.
Please pray for Christina. She is my sweet coworkers cousin. She is 23 years old and has been diagnosed with hodgins lympona and leukemia. She is not doing well and her family is having a very hard time coping. I can't imagine how hopeless and scared she must be feeling right now. Please pray for her family and her doctors as well during this time.
Please pray for Mrs. Olson, she is struggling with depression. Pray that God gives her hope and happiness (and a good night's sleep!). She has a HUGE praise! God has moved in their lives and they are about to embark on a new journey! I am truly so very excited for her and her husband!!
Please pray for my coworker, Maurine. She has been diagnosed with breast cancer. They found multiple lumps and determined that the cancer has spread to other parts of her body. She just started chemo and has a beautiful spirit and attitude about it. She is looking for fun hats and scarfs, because the doctors told her she would probably lose all her hair by the new year. Do you know of any fun websites that have fun hats and scarfs? I would love to find her a sassy one!
Please pray for sweet Joanna and her husband, they are waiting for God to bless them with a baby! They are the most adorable couple I have ever seen, truly!
Please pray for Sarah. She is in the process of fundraising to bring little Silas home to his forever family! Please pray that God will provide them the funds that they need to make this possible.
PRAISE for my friend Candice and her husband. They are getting a baby!!!!! God is so wonderful and works through us in ways we could have never imagined. I couldn't be happier for them!
Please pray for Leslie and Noah. They are waiting to become parents. You can read about them here.
Could you please pray for my Grandparents? They are living home alone right now with the help of nurses. It is very, very difficult. Please pray that they will let God guide them in their decisions for their futures and their care. This is so hard on them and on my parents and it hurts to watch everyone go through this.
Please pray for Laura. Her Grandma is showing signs of kidney failure. She has had a very rough time over the past 15 years, losing two husbands and her mother. Please also pray for her husband Don, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year and is going through treatments. Please pray for God to give her the strength and hope to fight through this, and that he hold her tight with love and comfort during this time. Please also pray for Laura's husband, that he have God's guidance in his life right now.
Please pray for sweet baby Bennett. He was born oh-so-tiny, but has been getting bigger and stronger! And, he's HOME! You can read his little story here.
We have been praying for sweet Annika for awhile now, at the request of Kasey. Please say a special prayer for her dear little body, that God will give her the strength to fight this disease. Annika is 5 years old and was diagnosed with a rare form of acute lympocytic leukemia. Please pray for her, her family and her doctors. I can't imagine what her family is going through. Isn't she beautiful? Just look at that smile!
Please pray for sweet Sarah. She is praying and waiting for God to bless her with a true Godly man that could be a wonderful influence to her young son to share their lives with. Her testimony is so beautiful, I felt inspired just reading it.
Please pray for my Daddy's (Jerry) job search and that his good spirits continue. I just know God has the perfect plan for him. PRAISE! He is traveling and has his 6th interview tomorrow!! He is so excited and I am so happy for him!!! Please pray that it will work out to God's perfect plan. God is listening!!
I have been following Lianna's blog for a few months now, and she just seems like the sweetest girl! She and her husband are waiting for God to bless them with a child. You can read about them here. Please pray for their journey to become parents.
Please say a quick prayer for all the women waiting for God to bless them with husbands or babies.
