Well, it's more than that, actually. A very prominent and well loved man in my church just passed away, we just came past the anniversary of my grandfather's death, and now his brother has fallen out of his house, broken nine ribs and was unable to breathe well when they found him. The family was called in TWICE today, because he came so close to passing. My grandmother is griveing over alot, and she doesn't need more to worry about. I ask that you pray for this situtation, and that he will become well, if it be the Lord's will. He has nine bags of fluids going in him, and it is really touch and go. My grandmother has a very bad cough that she has had for years, and it seems to be getting worse lately. IT could be that is the cold and flu season, and she had whooping cough as a child, which the doctors say could make her sound worse than it actually is. It is a dry cough, however, and she can never get the mucus up, and continues to cough until she can. It sometimes takes quite a while. It worries me.
Also, I've been going through some hard times, but I seem to be pullin through. I want to grow closer to God, but the only way I can do that is through prayer and time in His word. The problem is, a lot of times I do not do those things. I ask that you pray I have the motivation to do so. I want to grow closer to the Lord and learn to love others as I should...I have felt a connetion to other people, and compassion for others lately, and it is a feeling unlike any other.
