Listening to the chatter of the birds & chipmunks, watching the humming birds & exploring the off beaten backroads & awsome shops & eateries was great fun. Wish you could have joined us. Praying you are able to accept the new life God has given you.........more energy & being able to be out of bed are awsome gifts. You need to learn how to conserve your energy & not overdo things........think of it as having a certain number of spoons each day & if have an event planned needing to save a few spoons to enjoy the next day as you can NOT borrow or be given spoons by others. (**Becky can send you her story if you'd like Just ask Miss Lu she loved it!!) Charlene & BECKY/Ones Who Care ........ - Wednesday, July 8, 2009 10:06 AM CDT Thanks for the update. Know that the Lord is always with you, wrapping His loving arms around you and holding on tight! Praying! Psalms 18:2-6 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

As you branch out and move forth, may you always be thankful for the very air you breathe, and for the fact that you CAN breathe independant from machines. In your joy and eagerness to make up for lost time, may you be ever mindful of the One who sat beside you in your darkest hours, letting you know He was indeed by your side. May you continue to be a good steward of this gift, and keep your charge of taking excellent care of your body, His temple. May you diligently take your medicine, and not squander this incredible and amazing gift of life. Whether it lasts for a day or a lifetime, may you rejoice in the moment you are in and continue to love and reach out to others. Maybe you could reach out to H&H's Ariel?....she could use a friend. No, you most likely can't relate on many levels. But you CAN relate to loving God, of being afraid, of being left behind by others. You can relate in your mutual love of all creation. Maybe reaching out could be one way of living out your thanksgiving to God? Just a thought. Wishing you every success as you gather round and sing together. We are sooo incredibly blessed. Sharing in your delight. May you have a wonder-filled summer! Try singing under water!

I'm soooo sorry. I mistakenly wrote your Birthday down in my book under July. Can't believe I've missed your all important, special day. (Seems I wrote down just about everyone's BD down an entire month late. Wonder where my brain was on that particular day? Obviously on holiday, grin). Fiddle-drat. I have your gift here (I've had it for months...because when I saw it it practically screamed your name, lol), just no way to get it off until next month, as errands have already been done for June. Golly! Forgive me? So, how was your day? What did you do to Celebrate? What are your hopes and dreams for this coming year? Hope it's a VERY GOOD year! Again, I wish you and your family lived nearby. Our church did a BBQ before the evening service and it was really nice. Well m'dear, will close for now. I've an exceptionally busy week ahead. Just know that I'll be carrying you along in my heart as I travel thru each day, lifting you up as always (Mom and Dad, too).

God bless,love & hugs,Linn,Daniel & Ariel The Marrero's <gillinn7@msn.com> Port Orchard, Wa USA - Sunday, May 31, 2009 12:15 AM CDT Hi Bethany, I got a clearer picture of why school is so hard for you. I spent all day waiting in various lines at the Rabbies tag place and the State picture ID facility...all the florescent lighting, lots of people doing lots of different things, a zillion different noises going on....it's the first time I've been in those sorts of settings in many, many, many years. And even with my 4 hours a week formal seizure-management training and my 2 hours daily homework....even with all the practice I've had from going to church lately and those sorts of movements, noises and crowds.....this was totally different. Had seizures all day long and it was incredibly hard to keep focus and accomplish tasks. It was also a GREAT time for gleaning information on all the areas that need work...can't wait to explore new avenues and see how many ways I can come up with to help me deal with various things and then go out again to see how much it's helped and what I still need to work on. I love the sense of adventure of it all. I love the incredible ways our brains are made....ways of doing the impossible, ways to defy the odds and embrace life anyway. And I was also VERY much aware of the challenges at a public school....and how I wish you had access to the same teachers, trainers and such that I've got, knew how to practice new techniques and keep hope alive and well. How to build on each new skill and travel the journey with a sense of accomplishement. There's such an amazing future out there waiting for you. And of course, with increased seizures comes increased pain...yet that too gave more information....and just wish you had a coach who could help you approach it all like this...with a sense of adventure, expectancy...who kept a zillion quesitons alive and helped you hone your own question-asking....like: what hints is my body giving me? What signals is it conveying? What information am I not noticing? The hightened awareness of cause and effect...tho tiring at first, becomes second nature...and you can garner so much information that then can empower you to explore new/different avenues and do more things. I wish all this for you, and so very much more. Keep looking, keep seeking. There are answers and you will find them. Luv Ya Lots m'dear. You take good care, and give your wonderful parents my love, OK? Until next time....heart-hugs and prayer-songs continue. Ms Lu HH/DD Lucel-Melody Wings Atlanta, Ga USA - Friday, May 29, 2009 11:37 PM CDT Hi Bethany, Just wanted to stop in before I went to bed, to let you know you're in my thoughts, as always.

Congrats, too, to your Dad for the work....joining you in Prayer-Songs that it'll be consistant. Sorry to hear you had a rough seizure night. Are you keeping an extensive log?

Prayer Bears My email address Lynn Worley Seattle, WA USA - Sunday, May 3, 2009 10:25 PM CDT Hi Bethany, Hi Michelle, Golly, I wish both of you had been able to come to our 2 hour forum at church this morning. We had a panel of 6 women share their life journey, thru trials, with God in their midst. It was REALLY awesome. Great scriptures. Often not a dry eye in the place...but lots of laughter too. And great fellowship (and good coffee, grin, as well as fruit and bagel's). I think you'd have really come away uplifted. There were all sorts of challenges represented...health ones (both seen and unseen), financial...and such healing ways to look at all of it. Women truly feeling/knowing/believing that each was an opportunity for God to shine forth in their lives. No huge miracles where suddenly all trials and tears were wiped away. Just real "This stunk/stinks and here is God, here's how He manifested Himself, Here are the ways I knew His presence, Here are the gifts, Here is the joy amidst the sorry". Anyway, you were there in my heart. Thinking of you, as always, and sending lots of love your way, and of course, Prayer-Songs. Hugs, Ms Lu HH/DD Lucel-Melody Wings Atlanta, Ga USA - Sunday, May 3, 2009 0:20 AM CDT Isaiah 40:18-31 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Hope it's pain and snafu-free and that you find lots of little things to delight in. I'm sorry so many things have been sooooo very hard for such a long time. Reminds me of work done in an old timey forge...hard, rough, slow going and yet ohhh what a special and unique, one-of-a-kind creation comes into being. And it also makes me think of my friend who made silver jewelry. The molds she would carve, the silver she'd melt and pour, the cooling, the additions....slow, intricate work...and yet what beauty and shine when it was all done. Breathtaking. The work within you is equally breathtaking and amazing. Remember: lift up your feet and float on top of the turbulant waters, or dive deeply below them when it's too rough to breathe. Hug the pain to yourself, so tightly that it goes right on thru you and out the other side. (This works for both physical and emotional pain). Remember, tensing against pain only increases it...and tho it's hard, you CAN relax into it. You're amazing m'dear, and you CAN, WILL and ARE making it thru this. Please keep singing, keep praising, and keep making those zillion tiny decisions that have HUGE outcomes. You Matter!

"Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me" by Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740-1778 1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood From Thy riven side which flowed Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2. Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil Thy Law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. 3. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly,-- Wash me, Savior, or I die! 4. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment-throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee!

And often, a genuine chemical imbalance has them believing things that aren't the whole truth...yet there's no way for them to tell. It's hard that we can never truly know a person's deepest feelings and innermost heart or the challenges they face or what the "one too many things" might be. The only person's choices we can control are our own...and it's the zillion little ones about getting up in the morning when we might not feel like it, singing when another choice would be equally valid....how we'll look at our pain or the dawn of a new day or the latest challenge whatever it may be....these add up to color our world, darken or lighten our hope. I guess that's one reason I always encourage folks to look for the treasure and hidden gift within each challenge...that lil bit of light or thing God can use to transform, help, heal, aide. One reason I stress discovering a zillion and one reasons to laugh, even when it makes no sense....for each of these...and even "the seeking" itself, bring a bit of healing to the moment we're in. One very scary thing about suicide sometimes, is other's use it as an excuse or reason to quit, copy, do the same. Dispair breeds dispair.....so I encourage you to carry your heart, your sadness, your pain, disappointment, anger...to God in prayer and song and pictures and whatever other ways ring true for you. Maybe write your friend one of those non-sendable letters shares your heart and moves you toward healing. Make a pact with God to travel the journey, be part of the light, unearth the treasures no matter how much digging you must do. Whatever you need to do, to put one foot in front of the other. I wish the counselor could come sooner for everyone. You matter, and I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sorry your Dad didn't get that job he really wanted, and am glad the unemployment will continue for now. I pray other doors will open and you'll each find new, vibrant ways to get thru these very tough times. Much Love & Warm Support, Heart-Hugs & Prayer-Songs, Ms Lu HH/DD Lucel-Melody Wings Atlanta, Ga USA - Thursday, March 19, 2009 9:51 AM CDT Happy St. Patty's Day to all!

Luv Ya Lots, kiddo. Keep on Keeping on. Heart-Hugs & Prayer-Songs, Ms Lu HH/DD Lucel-Melody Wings Atlanta, Ga USA - Thursday, February 19, 2009 4:29 PM CST Thanks for the update! Love the new pic! We sang this hymn in church today and it really touched my heart. Wanted to share it. Am here praying! 1. Speak, O Lord, Thy servant heareth, To Thy Word I now give heed; Life and spirit Thy Word beareth, All Thy Word is true indeed. Death's dread power in me is rife; Jesus, may Thy Word of Life Fill my soul with love's strong fervor That I cling to Thee forever. 2. Oh, what blessing to be near Thee And to hearken to Thy voice! May I ever love and fear Thee That Thy Word may be my choice! Oft were hardened sinners, Lord, Struck with terror by Thy Word; But to him who for sin grieveth Comfort sweet and hope it giveth. 3. Lord, Thy words are waters living Where I quench my thirsty need; Lord, Thy words are bread life-giving, On Thy words my Soul doth feed. Lord, Thy words shall be my light Through death's vale and dreary night; Yea, they are my sword prevailing And my cup of joy unfailing. 4. Precious Jesus, I beseech Thee, May Thy words take root in me; May this gift from heaven enrich me So that I bear fruit for Thee! Take them never from my heart Till I see Thee as Thou art, When in heavenly bliss and glory I shall greet Thee and adore Thee. Prayer Bears My email address Lynn Worley Seattle, WA USA - Monday, February 16, 2009 0:28 AM CST Hi Bethany, Thanks to you and Mom for the update and picture. Sorry you're in so much pain, kiddo. And sorry too that you're feeling so very blue about not having a boyfriend or lots of other "live" pals to exchange Valentine's with. I know that stinks and makes you feel different. Wonder how many other kid's are in your school that are also feeling different or are home-bound and feeling similarly to you? Wish there could be a network of some sort. Also wish you had a video cam for at least one of your classes so you could feel a bit of inclusion. Would be good for the other students to "get out of themselves" a bit and know there are other ways of being/doing that are worthy of time and attention. Seems like even with the tight budgets of today, there ought to be some way of making you feel a bit more "part of". Sorry your pain level's so high, kiddo. That's an extremely hard challenge to work around and dance with. Sounds like you managed to do pretty well with it this week, in making it thru homebound programs and Doctor's appointments. It's hard, isn't it, when we have to rely so heavily on the power of choice, rather than the power of feeling?! My what strong characters we are honing! And wish you didn't have to serve as sculptor (ie carve/hone your skills) quite so much! Yet how wonderful that you do make that choice. And you choose to sing in the midst of pain....be it singing/offering the pain itself as your "very best gift" of that moment, or you're singing your thanks for breathing on your own, being able to see, enjoy color, hear, taste, choose, move to scratch your own nose, rest in your own bed....Thank you for daring to sing. Daring to offer your feelings up, daring to be you, daring to live each day. Am wishing a new interest for you....be it collecting quotes or whatever it may be that peeks your interest and pulls you out of your pain and the smallness of your world, and brings you into being part of the bigger picture of things....ways to "bring the world" to you, since right now you're unable to go out into it. Luv Ya Lots m'dear. You Matter! Heart-Hugs & Prayer-Songs, Ms Lu HH/DD Lucel-Melody Wings Atlanta, Ga USA - Sunday, February 15, 2009 1:06 AM CST Happy Valentine's Day, Bethany! Thinking of you!!!

Sure wish we were neighbors...there's soooo much I'd love to share with you, to encourage your heart and help you continue to discover new and different ways to cope with all that life's throwing your way. And to share with you some of the neat joys I've discovered tucked within all the pain, "no's", snafu's and limitations. Our brains are amazing and there are a zillion ways around seeminly-solid-granit-road-blocks. And with your love of music, talent for writing (both words and song).....I bet once you got the hang of Prayer-Singing you'd be off and running and would be amazed and thrilled at the coping tools it would open up. Also wish you could discover and afford some of the biofeedback games out there that you can do on the computer. Don't need Internet access. The monotoring leads can hook right up to your hard-drive as can the ear-plugs...it'd blow you away, the things you can learn to do simply by breathing and looking at the scenes. One of my favorite (all done WITHOUT a mouse) is picking up an arrow, aligning it with a target, and hitting right smack dab in the middle of the target. AND it helps TONS with pain, and helps with seizure control as well. A lot of the images are from the East, since that's where those skills are light years ahead of the west, so don't know if that would bother you or not....I find it a fun way to see other's worlds. Above all, I just want you to know you're NOT forgotten and that you matter more than words can express. Please know I'm here and however I can help, whatever questions you may have, whatever pictures and images I can share to help you along the way....you're welcome to call on me and I'll give you my very best. In the mean time, please know that there are all sorts of Prayer-Chains out here on your behalf. Literally around the globe. And of course, I lift you up daily as well. Take Care. Take Heart. You are cherished by the One who Created all of life, and He knows your name, loves you dearly and stand ready to help you walk the pathway before you. May you rest solidly in the knowledge that you make a difference in the world, simply by being the wonderful, amazing young woman you are.

Heart-Hugs & Prayer-Songs, Ms Lu HH/DD Lucel-Melody Wings Atlanta, Ga USA - Friday, January 30, 2009 11:01 PM CST Bethany: we are so very sad to hear of yet another glitch in your plans. Hang in there as We know you have strong faith in what God's path for you is. Happy end of Jan. May Ground Hog Day & this bit of info brighten your week The legend of Groundhog Day (Feb. 2nd) is based on an old saying: "If Candlemas Day is bright and clear, there'll be two winters in the year." The Groundhog determines if spring is just around the corner, or if the weather will take a turn for the worse. The prediction is based on whether or not he can see his shadow. People think SUN= shadow = cold wintry conditions for another 6 weeks. CLOUDY= no shadow = milder conditions, thus SPRING is on the way.

Grant J Mwakio - Thursday, January 22, 2009 8:39 AM CST Hi Bethany, Ohhhh kiddo, I'm so sorry you've disappointed and that this flair up's thrown a major kink in your plans. I'm glad Mom was able to give us a brief update on how things are going. A day never passes where you're not lifted up my young friend. Sounds like it's a time to lift up those feet and float on top, or maybe even one of those times when ti's imporatn to dive to the depths and enjoy the marvels and the quiet and the peace deep beneath the stormy seas. In your dreams, may you ride on the back of dolphins and visit their special, secret places....and may there be heart-lessons there as well, where the creator of all speaks to you threw what you see, reminding you how much you matter, are loved, and are not forgotten. And may you wake in the morning with something important having made a vital shift. Michelle, sorry about the damaged car. Sounds sooooo frustrating.

Sounds like there's still some more fine-tuning to do, but it also sounds like you've got a good Doctor who's on top of things. Am kicking up my heels in Celebration of you and of every improvement. Continuing, of course, to lift you up in Prayer-Songs each day. You're doing a superb job of hanging in there thru this challenging time. Keep it up. The stormy seas really won't last forever. Remember: when it gets particularly rough, lift up your feet and float, or dive deeply, far beneath the storm (remember that long share?)

Prayer Bears Lynn Worley <prayingprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Monday, December 1, 2008 1:21 AM CST Hi Bethany, I see folks have already shared good ideas about the note from the Doctor. Another idea is to have him put it in writing that: you have a serious seizure disorder that's needing to be treated VERY aggressively; that even with all of that, you're having break thru seizures. If he also includes: Any time you have a seizure you're unable to focus for 4-6 hours afterwards, and that they happen so frequently it's sensless to come in to see him every time, and to therefore excuse your absences whenever Mom calls and reports a seizure to the school teacher. He ought to be able to put that or something similar into writing. I'm sorry it's particularly rough right now. I hope you're still doing the visualizations stuff. You matter m'dear and I'm sorry you're hurting. I'm really proud of you for continuing to "show up for each day" and giving it your best.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

With so much "letting go" to do in our lives...it's nice to see it done with such beauty and grace....reminds me I have that within me as well, as do you. You're remarkable and wonder-filled with incredible gifts within just waiting to be tapped, discovered, released, enjoyed.

"My Hope is Built on Nothing Less" by Edward Mote, 1797-1874 1. My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 2. When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 3. His oath, His covenant, and blood Support me in the whelming flood; When every earthly prop gives way, He then is all my Hope and Stay. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 4. When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found, Clothed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne! On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

A black swan was waddling down the road next to my house. I guess that sorta validates how much rain we've had... since his feet were wet, he didn't know that he wasn't swimming.

Awesome recipes, as well as locations for specialty incredients. Hey, you might want to include some of those on a wish list and sumit it to various locations. Just a thought.

"I Know that My Redeemer Lives" by Samuel Medley, 1738-1799 1. I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives, my ever-living Head. 2. He lives triumphant from the grave, He lives eternally to save, He lives all-glorious in the sky, He lives exalted there on high. 3. He lives to bless me with His love, He lives to plead for me above. He lives my hungry soul to feed, He lives to help in time of need. 4. He lives to grant me rich supply, He lives to guide me with His eye, He lives to comfort me when faint, He lives to hear my soul's complaint. 5. He lives to silence all my fears, He lives to wipe away my tears He lives to calm my troubled heart, He lives all blessings to impart. 6. He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly Friend, He lives and loves me to the end; He lives, and while He lives, I'll sing; He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King. 7. He lives and grants me daily breath; He lives, and I shall conquer death: He lives my mansion to prepare; He Iives to bring me safely there. 8. He lives, all glory to His name! He lives, my Jesus, still the same. Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives, "I know that my Redeemer lives!"

There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins, And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2. The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away. 3. Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more. 4. E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die. 5. When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy power to save.

I know 2 folks with celiac. One is a little girl I used to tutor. She was so smart that I could not think of a question that she was not able to figure out the answer. It was fascinating watching her think. anyway, her grandma said that when they went to restaurants, it was very important for the chef to know because whatever she ordered needed to be cooked in a fresh pan. I know it is important for you to read all the ingredients in things. I read on another update that a child who has lots of allergies, and can eat marshmallows...had a severe reaction to a new brand of marshmallows because of some added ingredient. Now, who would think marshmallows would have different ingredients. I'd be delighted to send you snow.

My apartment is full of plaster-dust, and it got into EVERYTHING. My Aide and I went over yesterday and brought back TONS of stuff: sheets, quilts, towels, curtains, rugs, clothes all over to my friend's house where I'm staying. All thru the night and again today, I've been washing one load at a time, hanging it out on the fence to dry, resting inbetween, singing as I go. And while knocking all this out, I've been lifting you up in Prayer-Song....visualizing the winds that are lifting my clothes up (so they look like they're flying), lifting you up as well. Blowing out all the dampness of pain, and then making room for you to be warmed and refreshed by the sunlight. Luv Ya both lots!

Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Monday, March 3, 2008 0:21 AM CST Hi Bethany, I love seeing you have some wonderful, steadfast support here at your site. That's awesome, and something you're very deserving of! Glad you've got some really neat, dedicated people visiting you regularly and lifting you up. Remember: there are far more folks doing this than you can see....folks who lift you up, but simply choose not to leave their prints behind. Supporting you and lifting you up none-the-less. There's a super PBS program going on in the background (Mary's watching it-my friend who's home I'm in while building renovations are going on). I saw it last night. It's about all the ways the brain can be retrained, and the ways it heals itself. How much more it can do when Prayer and Divine Touch is added into the mix. I KNOW it's possible, for my seizures were once "complex" (meaning I lost conciousness/awareness, even if I did not "fall"). Today they are "simple" (meaning I can still think and function, and the ways I do this are forever changing, as I continue to do different work in these areas). It was once deemed "impossible" and that the kind of seizures could not change. It was also said that: when they are continual and can't be controled by medication for some reason or another, "your brain will get worse and worse until you are totally debilitated". Well, you and I know this is also not true (since I'm typing this-grin). Many things are possible! I think your playing guitar will use different areas of your brain, form new pathways and also help in many unexpected ways, as will your singing and song writing. Keep up the good work. Hope to hear from you or your Mom before long and get an update, and new issues to lift up and/or brain-storm with you about. Much Love and warm support, as always.

Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Monday, February 18, 2008 0:27 AM CST Hi Bethany, Hi Michelle, Just wanted to stop by and let you know you continue to be on my heart, and in my Prayer-Songs. I enjoyed a nice fire in the fireplace the other night, while my friend was working her 24 hour shift. Had a wonderful time of Prayer-Singing, and lifted you up more intensely than I have in quite awhile. I trust my intuition on this, and simply sing as I'm moved. Started out the usual simple "uplifting" and turned into a very long, intricate song that moved me beyond measure. One of those times when I wish there'd been a way to "know ahead of time" and put it on tape for you, so you would really "get it" how dearly you are loved, and how the Spirit works in other's lives on your behalf. Well dear Family, I'm going to close for now. We've got a major storm headed our way, and I want to visit a few more folks before shutting things down. If it really DOES hit, I imagine another intense evening of singing will take place, as Pandy and the other pets and I are once again holding down the fort solo, while Mary works.

Psalms 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Thursday, January 10, 2008 0:25 AM CST Am sharing two verses today. The second verse is God's own interpretation of the first verse. When dealing with all the "floods" and vehement winds beating upon us, there is only One Sure Foundation. Praying so as you face these "floods." Luke 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Continuing to pray so hard for both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Psalms 86:1-7 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Tuesday, January 8, 2008 0:04 AM CST Hi Bethany, Hi Michelle and Gregg! "Arfs" to your Doggie Pals! Happy Day to all of you! Just wanted to stop in for a mini chat. I'm hoping you'll find some computer time again before long and be able to give us a bit of an update. Miss hearing from you, as that makes it more possible to "tailor make" your Prayer-Songs. Whatever's happening there on the home/school/work front, please know you're not embarking on your days alone. There are zillions of us out here, lifting you up and sending lots of love and warm support your way. Take good care! Until next time.....from a tiny nest in Atlanta, Ms Lu (and pet menagerie) Hugs&Hope/Dabbles&Doodles Lucel-Melody Wings Atlanta, GA USA - Monday, January 7, 2008 10:08 AM CST A friend sent me this passage today and I thought it was especially good. There's nothing more comforting in life than knowing the source of our salvation. Know that I'm still praying! Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Monday, January 7, 2008 0:46 AM CST Hey Girl.

Prayers and Hugs, LeAnn/SOEW/AngelsofHope LeAnn Mooneyham <angel4God352000@yahoo.com> Baxley, GA United States - Sunday, January 6, 2008 4:39 PM CST Praying right now! Psalms 121:1-8 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Sunday, January 6, 2008 1:10 AM CST Hope you guys are having a healthy new year. Alisa Devin's site <tiredofcancer@yahoo.com> - Saturday, January 5, 2008 6:14 PM CST Know that I'm still here praying! Isaiah 49:13-16a Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands... Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Saturday, January 5, 2008 1:21 AM CST Continuing to pray! Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Thursday, January 3, 2008 7:20 PM CST Still praying! Psalms 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Thursday, January 3, 2008 0:46 AM CST These verses were part of my husband's sermon text today. This is a really good passage and speaks a lot to us all as we face a new year. Praying! Lamentations 3:21-26 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Wednesday, January 2, 2008 1:01 AM CST Wishing you many blessings and a very happy new year! Love Alex and family MaryBeth <attnymb@aol.com> - Tuesday, January 1, 2008 2:21 PM CST Bethany I hope 2008 is a good year for you! prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Tuesday, January 1, 2008 12:02 AM CST As the new year begins everyone's thinking about time and counting it down. So I wanted to share THE section of Scripture dealing with time. Praying as one year ends and a new one begins. Whatever this new year holds, the Lord WILL be with you! Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
