I ask for your prayers for Lori Wood's daughter who has chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. May the decisions that they make in her treatment be guided by God and may they have trust in Him to know that He is looking out for their little angel. We pray for God's blessings on this family that they will find their strength in prayer and that He will continue to reveal His miracles through their daughter.

I first want to thank you for your courage to start this organization. My daughter Shelby who is 2 was born with chronic intestinal pseudo obstruction. Her first year was so bad and scary. She also had hip surgery last summer to correct hip dysplasia from being breech at birth and was in a body cast and body brace all summer last year. She is doing well now. She just amazes me every day. When she had motility studies they said her large intestine has normal motility and her small bowel does not. They are going to try to close her stoma on Sept. 11, 2008, and see if she can absorb enough. Please pray for her. I know it is a few months away, but I feel it is never too early to petition our God. I hope we are making the right decisions for her. I just put my trust in God because He has done miracles in my daughter's life. Thank you for your prayers. May God bless all with motility disorders.

I am requesting prayer for strength, confidence and awareness of God's direction and sustaining power and asking for immediate help from Him in my current situation.
If I look down, I would fall, so I look up - the series of circumstances seem to be stacked like a row of walls blocking my progress. I accept the fact that some of these "walls" are situations that I could have avoided. Some I could have never seen coming...For each "wall" I ask this in prayer, that it become a "benign” situation and one that I can easily handle.
I am asking for prayer in these key areas; continued physical health, open doors for direction on career and at my job, feeling of His love that I need so much right now. The other areas; I really need some immediate support form Him on; new housing, financial relief. Please agree with me in this prayer and thank you so much and I am thanking Him advance with you.

Again, I ask for your prayers . I should have told you, that when i was married to the ex 85-2002, in 87, our first child was killed in an auto accident, and that is why I was so so careful with Ashley who was born in 91. In 95 when Ashley was 4 1/2, the neighbor next door had nothing better to do (his sons) than detonate a 3 kg pipe bomb. that's about 6 1/2 pounds of gunpowder. I had worked with explosives when I was in the armed forces and knew the moment I heard the explosion that it was an explosive device. Oh, how I thought my daughter Ashley had perished in this. I was immediately going inside from trimming the bushes outside and Ashley was hysterical. Police came thru the house, and she could not stop screaming and crying. She wasn't physically hurt from the explosion, but was severely traumatized and had to go thru therapy for years. other than eileen (my ex) and myself, ashley didn't talk to anyone for years.
What has brought these false allegations is that the ex saw me with my new christian wife Michelle, and went ballistic. she said, I will get you for this, you will never have this woman.
I perhaps made mistakes in the marriage, but filed for divorce when there was no hope of stopping her excess spending, as she got me 75k into debt on credit cards. I don't hate Eileen, but she has to learn to stop fraud. I have "debt" of almost 200k on fraud credit cards where my signature was forged. and now.......the allegation which is nothing more than to keep me away forever from Ashley.
Both of them need help and prayers and i forgive them for this falsehood. the ex even got a restraining order and tried to put our church on it, but the judge, god bless him crossed that out. the pastor of our church at my request sent me a letter that neither the ex nor ashley goes to church anymore, and both of them lied on the order saying that they did.
This is nothing more than to file another lawsuit against me. suing is easier than working.
I ask for prayers, powerful ones that these false allegations will be dismissed prior to trial.
Keep me in your prayers please.
in christ's name

Please pray for Maura who had surgery this month. Maura has Tethered Cord Syndrome and Syringomyelia discovered in October, which is the cause of her other diseases/syndromes. Maura's spinal cord is attached to her spinal column (it shouldn't be), and as a result has literally stretched her brainstem, smashed her pituitary gland, caused a HUGE fluid-filled cyst throughout most of her spine and caused what we are told is irreversible damage to the nerves controlling her GI tract (why we could never "cure" the GI motility diseases and urological dysfunctions that have plagued her). By "releasing" the spinal cord, we will (thank God!) prevent the otherwise inevitable destruction of her kidneys, permanent paralysis and damage to the nerves controlling her heart and lungs. And, her brain should return to its normal shape after being released from the traction of the abnormally-attached cord. Even though we cannot expect a reversal of her previous litany of diagnoses, we are thrilled to know nothing more will be coming our way!!
Please also pray for Jennifer, John, & Sean that they will find strength and comfort in knowing that there are so many prayers that being said for Maura and her entire family.
See Jennifer's column on our website.
