We moved to South Dakota at the beginning of June due to my husbands job. We are from Georgia, just south of Atlanta. My heart aches because we have left our 17 yr old son back home to graduate with his friends he has been with since Pre-K. I know we are doing the right thing by our son, but it still hurts very badly. I miss his voice, his smile and his hugs. He is really involved in our church back home. Kings Pasture Community Church. Jesse is a youth leader in the Vision group. He plans on being a youth minister when he graduates. Before we left our pastor called us and the family he is staying with up front and prayed for us. I know he is being watched and loved, but again it still hurts. I know without a shadow of doubt he is in the right place. I just ask that God watch over my son and wrap his arms around Jesse, please keep him safe.

Second we are struggling financially due to our house not selling back home. Trying to keep up with the mortgage, rent and sending Jesse money is very tight right now. I ask that the Lord please give us the wisdom that we need to keep going.

Thank you for listening to my heart,

Hi Karen. Thank you for sharing your story about your brother. When you were in louisville you prayed with me for my son for a similar story. Today he admitted to me that yesterday he took 800 mg ibuprophen followed by medrol then ultram later oxycodone and finally ambien. He took the ambien because he was so hyped from all the other meds that he couldn't sleep. However even after the ambien he was agitated the he was up all night. I know he has pain issues but he gets angry with me when I try to talk to him about the dangers. His answer is that he is only doing what the Dr told him to do but at this rate I fear my 29 year old son won't reach 30. I shared the DVD of your brothers story but he is still in denial that he has a problem. He has been on narcotic pain meds of one kind or another for over 3 years. Please pray for God's complete healing and deliverance.

I am very sick and due to be having major surgery soon which is going to be a long recovery ahead and I am honestly very scared. I have my three kids wo have been through so much this year and it hurts me so deep that I am a complete failure as a mother. We have lost so much and we try to rebuild and it seems that I just cant get to where we need to be because we have one hurdle after another thrown at us. My kids deserve a Christmas and I have nothing. I dont even have any christmas decorations, Last year we truly lost everything we owned pretty much due to situations beyond our control and my kids deserve so much better than what I can do for them, I am very very depressed and sick snd I need prayers for us because I am falling apart here. We are in need of any Christmas Decorations. I am in need of a wheelchair because after my surgery I am going to be needing one. And most of all any kind of help for my kids for Christmas because we truly have nothing. And above all your thoughts and prayers. We just moved here recently and I dont know anyone. I don't have any friends or people I am close to. When you are sick all the time and stay at home its very hard to meet people and I have been so sick and unable to do the things most can do that they take for granted.

I am just a small voice who is trying to be obedient to God. This election has been heavy on my heart. God gave me the idea to reach out to my brothers and sisters in Christ and have us lay hands on the doors where voters go in and out of to vote. The night before the election would be ideal. Praying for all the machines to work properly, there would be no fraud and if there was it would be brought to light, that everything would run smoothly and mostly that the people who are voting would clearly see and not be deceived as to whom the candidate is that would align himself with the will of God. Please also pray:
2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV) if my people, who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. I thought it would be amazing if all the churches could have this verse on their church sign. Wouldn't that be awesome if everyone noticed the same message and it drew people to the Lord!!!!???? Praise your name Lord Jesus!
With time being precious please pass this on to other churches and organizations who are prayer warriors. Thank you and God Bless you and America!!!!

I am a young Christian woman who is struggling with her faith. I ask that you pray for me for this. I also have major surgery in November and am scared beyond belief. Everytime I am down, I read your books and a sense of peace overtakes me. Thank you for allowing God to use you in this way.

Update On Tye Blanton

October 17, 2008
From the beginning, little Tye Blanton has fought to be here. He was born premature with a heart condition. His mother Micheala says she and her late husband were excited about his arrival because they were told they would never have children. �I had always imagined growing old with Shawn. Things happened very quickly for us. We knew it was meant to be.�

Then on June 17th, Tye�s life took another tragic turn.

Micheala says, �Tye is a lot like shawn.�

Just weeks after he came into this world his father was taken. 25-year-old trooper Shawn Blanton was shot to death after he stopped a motorist on Interstate 40near Canton. Trooper Blanton died in the same hospital his son was in fighting for his life.

Michaela says, �I dropped to my knees in the middle of the NICU, and of course, was screaming at the top of my lungs.�

Despite the tragedy, the family rallied. Michaela decided to send her son to Duke University Medical Center to have surgery on his heart. He seemed to be doing better, and two months after he was born, his mother was finally able to hold him. Earlier this week, as things seemed to be looking up little Tye was brought back to mission hospitals in Asheville.

� I will understand if Shawn needs him more than I do. to me the only way Tye would be taken away is if Shawn needs him more than I do.�

Early this morning, Tye Blanton passed away. It seems his dad did need him after all.

May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
