Prayer for Mt. Zion
Please continue to pray for Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Oak Grove. A van wreck last Wednesday evening resulted in the death of five people with several others injured. A story on the accident can be read at:http://www.thenewsstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2011110623012
“Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego,
who sent His Angel
and delivered His servants who trusted in Him.”

Jadon’s Story: Tomorrow is the day
|
Posted: 27 Jun 2011 07:28 PM PDT We leave to go to Boston tomorrow. Everyone is going this time. My brother is so excited about flying in morning. Our flight leaves at 6am from New Orleans. It’s going to be an early morning. We will arrive in Boston at 12:15. Once we get to the house we will probably take a nap. Then we will have time to go do something tomorrow night. My 3T MRI is Wednesday at 11:15. That is 10:15 in Louisiana. If you think about it, please say a prayer for me around that time. We have the day off Thursday. If I’m feeling ok, we will go do some touring in Boston Thursday. Friday we meet with the neurologist at 9:00. He will explain the results of the MRI and then tell us what he thinks we should do next. We will have the rest of the day Friday to go and do some things. We then come home Saturday. Please pray for safe travel as well as great results. I will keep everyone updated while we are there. Thanks for your prayers.
The Hatchels will be arriving in a little more than two weeks. I am so excited. For those of you who have asked, they will be speaking Sunday, July 31 in the A.M. service (10:30). Pray for them as prepare to leave home to live at NOBTS for the next few months.

We add it at the end of stories. Grab onto it to describe the future. Toss it into the middle of decisions. It works pretty well. And yet lately I’ve found myself wondering what it might mean to add more to the end of that phrase–to not simply stop at “We’ll see.” What if I finished the sentence? We’ll see…God come through in amazing ways. We’ll see…how He’ll work all of this out. We’ll see…His goodness in the middle of the happy and hard places. Yes, He knows all our circumstances, every hair on our heads, every care in our hearts. He’ll see…always has, always will. And somehow that’s enough to make me close my eyes and smile for awhile.
Your turn: We’ll see…{how would you finish that sentence?}
Have a great day! Anna Lee |
Tom Brister is resting and improving at home. Thank-you for your continued prayers for the Brister family.
“Let no man despise thy youth;
but be thou an example of the believers,
in word,
in conversation,
in charity,
in spirit,
in faith,
in purity.”
~1 Timothy 4:12, HCSB~
From Mrs. Annette Hano
Please include Jim and Judy Alford in your prayers. Jim has had a set back from a recent surgury and is back in the hospital. Thank you!
Adrian Phillips continues to improve. Please keep him in your prayers.
Tom Brister is now home. He did not require blood while at the hospital and does not require home health care. Keep the Brister family in your prayers as Tom continues to recover from surgery.
Heart to Heart with Holley: You’ve got the strength you need for a new week….

Don’t we all? And then these words: “Go in the strength you have…am I not sending you?” Judges 6:14 We don’t have to… wait to overcome our weaknesses, complete the ten point improvement plan, figure everything out. The strength we already have is all the strength we need. Because we have a limitless God within us who loves us. As is. And He promises to stick by us. All the way. |
Make a memory today!

Tom Brister may need some blood today, but is getting up and about more. Continue to pray for Tom, Gail, and the family. Thank God for hospitals such as the one at Lacombe where patients are given such quality care.
Caroline Cutrer is six. She is at Children’s Hospital in Jackson, MS for treatment of her leukemia. Please keep all the family in your prayers.
Shawn Paul Edwards family received a more position report from the doctor this morning. Pray for the family who have been on a “roller coaster ride”.
Robbie Lynn Callihan has come through pneumonia and a dental problem lately. Pray for some days of good health for her.
Pray for Jamie Schwartz and others in the military as they are serving around the world to provide freedom for us and others. Pray for their families at home. Deployment are long and seem longer to those who are separated from those they love.
Eventually that entire generation died and was buried.
Then another generation grew up
that didn’t know anything of GOD or the work he had done for Israel.
~Judges 2:10 (MSG)~
Adrian Phillips continues to improve at the hospital. Keep him in your prayers.
Caroline Cutrer, daughter of Sherman, Jr. and Treva Harrell Curter, is sick. Pray for the family as they seek treatment for Caroline.
Heart to Heart with Holley: Plant your seeds.
I dig through the bottom of my purse. A couple of wrappers, a few receipts, and other stray items find their way to my fingertips. Then I brush against a small, square envelope.
“What’s that?” I wonder.
I pull it out and realize it’s a packet of Rosemary seeds. Stephanie Bryant gave them to me at the first planting for The Farm.
I headed home with good intentions of putting them in a pot that same day.
And then life got busy.
I pause and think of how I do that so often with other kinds of seeds–intentions, ideas, words I could write.
I carry them home to my heart and think, “Yes! I will plant my seeds.”
And then life gets busy.
Can anyone relate?
The good news is–it’s not too late.
We can still plant our seeds.
We can still say “yes” to what God is asking of us.
We can still see new growth in our lives.
{Did you catch that? We don’t even have to be sure how it will turn out to go for it.}
I think I’ve got a pretty pot in the garage that’s calling my name today…
You too?
Don’t leave God out of the Lord’s Day!
