Quick Update and Prayer Requests

We’re almost at 36 weeks and Angie and Madelyn are doing great. We are now going to the Dr. every week. Today the Dr. told us that Madelyn is now positioned head down. Of course I was thinking to myself, “Huh? Is that normal?”, being the clueless first-time dad that I am. She assured me that everything was normal and that put me at ease. The Dr. estimates that Madelyn is close to 5 lbs at this point. Heartbeat was normal…so far so good. Please continue to pray for both Angie and Madelyn over the next few weeks. Angie has to make some tough decisions about when to stop teaching soon, so pray for guidance for us in that area as well.

Since we’re talking prayer please remember to pray for all of those who are grieving and hurting after the Virgina Tech tragedy. During these difficult times it is hard to know what to do or say, but one thing we can do is ask God to comfort those who are hurting. God Bless….

Psalm 17:6
“I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer.” NIV

 

See You At The Prayer Bench

Where do you stand on the issue? To vote or not to vote? Does your vote really matter? Is an uneducated vote really better than no vote at all? Is it OK to just walk in there and vote straight down the line based on your political party allegiance? Is it a Christian’s responsibility to vote? We could debate these issues all day long.

One responsibility Christians do have is to pray for our current and future political leaders, and to pray for our governing body as a whole. Whether or not you choose to cast your vote, I hope you are choosing to get on your knees in prayer. I don’t believe it is enough for us to try and get “our man” or “our woman” into office. We need to be continually praying that God will lead our leaders, and that they will be receptive to His voice. Shall we pray?

Epehesians 6:18
“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests…” NIV
