Asking For Prayer

Sweet friends.

You have followed and commented and encouraged me and one another in this space for years.

I am so very thankful for you.



I haven’t had the time or emotional or psychological energy to respond much lately but please rest assured I read your comments and cherish every one.

I am currently working diligently to refine a message I will be sharing in person at the Our Hearts are Home Spring Conference in Lynchburg, VA next week. I guess I didn’t really take into consideration when agreeing to this engagement all the LIFE going on right now. I definitely didn’t figure on how hard TEN YEARS of living without the physical presence of my son was going to hit me.

So I’m asking for prayer.

Please lift me and my husband up as we get ready for, travel to and minister at this event.

I am probably more overwhelmed right now than I have been in a long while.

I know I can safely rest in the hands of the One who created me, Who carries me and Who will ultimately redeem everything that the enemy has stolen or destroyed.

But sometimes I need a little boost. ❤

  4. Praying for God’s protection around you and your family. May He support you in this ongoing battle of overwhelming emotions. You have made your Father in heaven and Dominick proud in this journey you have been forced to take. Father please fill her aching hurt with love, peace, and hope. Comfort her family as only you can. Flood her heart the best memories of her son. Amen
