PLEASE Keep Praying!

I missed the Wed. Prayer list. Better late then never.... right!

Our Realtor showed the guy who was interested in the land (for his daughter) the second time on Monday. She says he is very interested, but I guess he is trying to see if he can get a loan. We have not heard anything back since Tues. I thought for sure we would have had an offer by now. See, I am trying to be positive!

Please keep praying for us! Karlton has a meeting with the Bankrupt attorney (the day after my B/D) on Sept. 1. What a way to start my 33rd yr. of life. Just turning 33 is depressing enough for me.

We NEED to sale this land!!!! Time is running out fast!

Have any prayer request you would like us to be praying for? Please leave me a comment.

Faith, Hope, and Love said...: First of all...being 33 is something to be grateful for!!! I am MUCH older than that and oh how I wish I could be 33 again. I loved being 30 something. The 40's are tough and I would imagine it will only get worse. :)

Remember that God knows ALL of your needs! He knows how many hairs are on your head. He knows EXACTLY what needs to take place with your land. I will be praying for you!!!

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
