Prayer Request for Embry
Jul 11, 2024 - 9 months agoWe just found out that something is wrong with Embry's kidneys. He had some labs done today bc he wasn't feeling well. His calcium is also too high, but the kidneys are what's really scary. That's all I know right now. We have to take him to the ER at Gateway and they will call Riley and prob send us up there tonight. He is going to be really scared. His last two times he was hospitalized (the whole surgery and almost dying last year and then the terrifying COVID experience earlier this year) were a nightmare and he has a lot of anxiety about going to the hospital at all. Will update as soon as we know more. Thank you for your prayers for Embry and my daughter, Riley.

Nina served the Lord through example, raising her family to know and love Jesus. She taught Sunday School and was well known for making her Sunday School visitations on her motorcycle.

Prayer Request for Gavin L. Turner
Jun 24, 2024 - 10 months agoI've got a real problem here, one that's been playing out now for many years on end. And alot of it is rooted in just outright ignorance on some people's parts in not understanding things that they can't see, or at times some envy. I look very healthy, and the reason that I do is because I do my part to try and take care of myself; I don't smoke, don't use drugs, or drink lots of alcohol. I take vitamins, exercise. Yet I've got some very complex and intricate health issues that people can't " see" and they make it very hard to hold a job, get along with alot of people, maintain relationships, etc. The problems are severe OCD, chronic insomnia, hormonal imbalances, and something called Posterior Orthostatic Tacycardia Syndrome. And what often happens is like this bothers people because they don't understand simply out of a lack of knowledge about how these problems can make it hard to function more normally. I sure didn't want this in my life at all you know, and the thing isthat there's some things that they can do now to fix some of these problems so that I could have more of a normal life, but I dont have the money to pay for the treatments out of my pocket, and the insurance that I have denied coverage so all of this has put me ina very compromising position to say the least. I'm asking for prayers of breakthrough finally inmy life, that God brings the right people into my life, that sees my potential and helps get things lined out and to where God needs me to be. Satan has had a field day in my life long enough and he's still blinding some people to the truth, and working through some people to try and trip me up.
