A Thread for prayers, good vibes and what have you

Re: A Thread for prayers, good vibes and what have you

For those of you who keep prayer lists I have a request I'd like to make. At present there are too many places in Colorado battling uncontrolled fires. State and national manpower is being stretched to the limit. The men and women fighting the various fires are exhausted. The cost of trying to control and extinguish these fires is astronomical. High winds, low to no humidity coupled with high temepratures and dry conditions statewide--owing to little snowpack this winter resulting in dry conditions throughout the state--have combined to produce the worst fire season in the many years I have lived in Colorado. Countless homes have been torched and many more will meet similar ends before the fires are controlled. Our state needs abundant rainfall and soon, if not sooner. Colorado continues to be in the midst of its third week of fighting catastrophic fires. Please pray for rain to help all involved in combatting the blazes. Thanks.

Done.

Another note of thanks: My stepdad finally understands that $20 buys a lot of groceries. And this helps, because I'm usually just a few ingredients short of preparing a meal.

Just talked to my stepmom: my biological father will be medically transported back to Las Vegas either Monday or Tuesday. He still can't walk or hold a phone, but he's getting stronger every day! Praise the Lord!

that is plain awful. Prayers for all.

And in thanksgiving- been majorly stressed at work, like considering a career change, stressed. Was praying like mad for a break. Last week was probably the slowest 3 days I worked in a long time. I caught up on all sorts of stuff and I actually went home and didn't bring work this past Tuesday. First time in months I didn't feel guilty relaxing and reading a book

Didn't get the second interview. But all is not lost; I have an interview for a bus driver position coming up on Monday, Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services wants to call me in for an interview, and I'm waiting to hear back from Wal-Mart after I interviewed with them last Tuesday.

My 2 daughters left this morning on a 1600 mile drive to Texas. My oldest is moving down there to start her athletic training career and little sis is helping with the driving and then flying home at the end of the week.

We would all be grateful for prayers and good thoughts for a safe journey.

Done.

Would appreciate prayers for one of the families I know. They are having hard time reaching out, worrying about being judged. Going through a really rough patch with their eldest kid doing the usual scary kid stuff. Really tough for them right now.

Just talked to my stepmom; my biological father is now in a Las Vegas nursing home recovering. He still can't walk, but he's moving a little bit more every day.

My mom is going to surgery tomorrow (strictly, later today) to clear an intestinal blockage after non-surgical attempts failed. Positive thoughts appreciated.

Hope the surgery went well.

So far, so good. The surgery itself was very quick, it was just an adhesion that needed to be cleared up and was apparently a lot easier than it could have been as the surgeon had booked the OR and set up the anaesthesia for longer. I haven't heard anything since then (she hadn't woken up when I last spoke to my dad), but I'll take 24 hrs plus without hearing anything as "no news is good news". I was supposed to get an update last night, but he wasn't in when I called and never got back to me, probably forgot or got in really late.

Edit: To update, I spoke to my dad tonight, and I was right that no news was good news. Recovery is proceeding normally. The remaining hurdle is for her digestive system to get going again, but he said she was starting to feel hungry, so I think that bodes well.

Got word friday night that my stepmom had a biopsy on her liver and it came back cancerous. Not sure how far along it is at this point. Hope to find out more soon. They'll be meeting Thursday with the doctors to discuss treatment options.
