However, in order to prepare for the surgery he has to go on a liquid diet two week's before, that's this Tuesday, November 24th. He confessed to me yesterday morning that is the only thing he is scared about is this diet. All of the other stuff he can handle.

I know he is going to do great, however, any prayers for him would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ladies and gent's.

Have a great day!

P.S. We had our Thanksgiving dinner last Saturday evening. It was prepared by all 4 of my boy's (DH & the 3 kids) while I was a show. It was awesome! :D ]]> Prayer Requests pamperedpals http://www.chefsuccess.com/f48/prayers-my-dh-57673/ http://www.chefsuccess.com/f48/ot-prayer-advice-needed-57574/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:55:29 GMT I am having such a stressful day! I can't even wrap my head around why. I am at my day job and have SO much work and I can't get over this anxiety - which is making it such that I can't seem to get anything done. I have an RX for Xanas but it must be home.

Any advice/thoughts? I just don't know how I'm going to make it today. ]]> Prayer Requests dkitten13 http://www.chefsuccess.com/f48/ot-prayer-advice-needed-57574/ http://www.chefsuccess.com/f48/prayers-57491/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:00:30 GMT Please keep me in your prayers tonight & tomorrow morning. I have an extremely important nursing test that determines whether or not I pass nursing school. :eek: I will be taking the test tomorrow morning at 9am EST. Please pray that God helps me with the anxiety & stress & helps me reason out any questions I may not be sure on. :cry:

TIA!! I'll let ya'll know my results tomorrow afternoon. :D ]]> Prayer Requests Tropicalburstqt2 http://www.chefsuccess.com/f48/prayers-57491/ http://www.chefsuccess.com/f48/car-angel-57473/ Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:32:12 GMT My car broke down while I was taking my husband to work today. Praying for a car angel, I called a neighbor to see if he could could tow me home with ropes. Lo and behold, he showed up with another neighbor I didn't know who had his own towing business...Guess what was in the tow truck cab? Angels were on the window !!!!

Now, I am praying that my car angel can bring me a new/used car that is good and reliable and easy for us to afford!! Anyone in the D/FW (Mid-Cities) area know of such a vehicle?

He has called the homeless shelter a few times, but they tell him to keep trying back until there's an opening. He has no job, and there are precious few openings in our small town. Since he doesn't have a car, it's even more difficult, because he can't go to neighboring towns to search for work.

Today my daughter confided to my husband that Destin has been pushing our son (19) to go with him to buy drugs, even when our son insists he's not interested. Sam, our son, has already had legal troubles because of drugs, and only by the extreme mercy of God is he not in jail right now. Destin also has had legal issues, and admits if he gets in trouble again he'll go to "the big house, not just the little town jail."

This evening, while both of our children were out with friends, my husband and I sat down with Destin and told him he has to leave. He can stay the night, but he has to leave tomorrow. We explained we can't have drug dealing at our house, without telling him what our daughter said, because CPS could come in and take her away, claiming we're unfit parents for allowing the drug use (by the way, we are and always have been adamantly against drug use - Sam's using it was in complete rebellion to the way he was raised).

I honestly don't think God wants us to just kick Destin out on the street. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it - which means my spirit is not at peace with the idea. However, I know our daughter isn't lying (Destin, of course, denied everything). Destin has, by his account, had a hard life, not exactly filled with alot of love for him. I think offering him a stable home and trust is better for him in the long run, but, as my husband says, we can't risk sacrificing everything for this boy, whom, by the way, we barely know.

My husband told Destin to pray, but Destin says it doesn't do him any good. When he used to pray years ago, things got worse instead of better, and they only improved, slightly, when he started doing things on his own. How heartbreaking is that?!

Anyway, I talked to my husband, and he agreed to allow Destin until Friday to find a place. Please pray that there is a miracle, either that Destin does find both a good and stable home, as well as a job, or something happens in our home to make everyone want him to stay. ]]> Prayer Requests pampchefsarah http://www.chefsuccess.com/f48/please-pray-otherwise-homeless-young-man-57349/ http://www.chefsuccess.com/f48/pray-my-depressed-husband-57337/ Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:55:48 GMT My husband is feeling very depressed, almost suicidal today (due to his drinking problem).

Thursday I came down with a fever, chills, sweats, aches, the works. I was so miserable that I ended up leaving work half way through my shift, went home, & went straight to bed. Friday morning, I woke up refreshed & feverless. Thank heavens! I had my final project for nursing school due & had to be in class to present it. Fast forward to Friday night. DH comes home with an upset stomach & doesn't want to eat supper. Figure he may just be full from lunch since they always order from a local restaurant on Friday. Around 7pm, DH starts shaking & his temp is 96. So I have him climb into bed, put on sweats, socks, & along sleeve shirt. Then I wrap a blanket around his shoulders & put a heating pad on his ice cold feet. About 15 minutes later, DH is "hugging the porcelian throne", & in a cold sweat. At this point he says his stomach hurts worse than anything he's every felt before & DH is not one to complain at all!! So back to bed DH & I go. The only thing that I could do to calm him down & stop him from shaking was to wrap him up tightly & have him concentrate on listening to the fish tank (using a little of the guided imagedry they taught us in nursing school). Through out most of the night he made numerous trips into the restroom (I'm sure you can imagine why), so I had only a few hours of sleep, plus I was still extremely congested still & was having a hard time breathing when I laid flat & DH had my pillow, so I used a teddy bear as one, which was quite uncomfortable. So now here we are over 24 hours later & stubborn DH is refusing to go to UrgentCare, so I'm once again leaving work early so that I can be home to make sure he's ok throughout the night. So I'm asking you my fellow cheffers, please pray for my DH & I. We can't afford to continuely take off of work & I don't have health care. TIA!


Might as well throw this in with your prayers too... I have a HUGE test Thursday that determines whether I pass nursing school, so please pray that I pass it & that I'm anxiety free. ]]> Prayer Requests Tropicalburstqt2 http://www.chefsuccess.com/f48/prayers-me-dh-57322/ http://www.chefsuccess.com/f48/shooting-ft-hood-texas-57274/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:00:06 GMT Please be praying for the soldiers and their families involved in this incident as it unfolds.

We have always felt like it was home, and though we had planned to return in just a couple of years after we left in 2003, God has not even come close to opening any doors to returning.

However, a position at the AF base there just opened that would be a perfect way for DH to finish his career (as he finishes his Masters in Christian Counseling). He is putting in for the position tomorrow.

We are just praying that God's will is done. We NEVER want to push his will. So, if in His plan, hopefully the application will glide through. If it's not, that's okay. We are just desiring a clear answer.

I am going for my second chemo tomorrow. So far it hasn't been to bad after the first week. Although my hair fell out 16 days after my first chemo. I have a great wig though and know that I will get through this and be fine. I am hoping that the other chemo's will not affect me like they do some. The tiredness hasn't been to bad. I clean houses during the day so I do need energy. Anyone else have simlar problems. Prayers can't hurt. I have pretty much stopped my PC business, mostly because I never got bookings at my shows. Just got discouraged.

To try to make a long story short, my husband owns his own retail business, going on 10 years now. We have struggled practically from day one but with this being his dream he keeps plugging along. Every bill you can think of is behind and we are always right at shut off/reposession, etc. We even lost our home to FC and just paid Oct's rent Saturday.

Anyway, out of the blue yesterday he was offered a job at something right up his alley, that would be a true full time job with all the salary and perks that go along with that. There is a chance of him still keeping the business but I pray that he does not make that the deciding factor even if he can't. He is going to talk with them more seriously about it this morning.

Please pray that the Lord guides him to make the right decision for our family! I can't even imagine paying the rent on the 1st and not wondering when the hot water will be gone and the heat will stop working and the lights will go out...you get the picture.

Thank you! ]]> Prayer Requests dkitten13 http://www.chefsuccess.com/f48/prayers-please-57006/
