Facebook: Meaghan

Meaghan is Captain Laura F. daughter. Laura is stationed in Broomfield Colorado. She and her late husband are sessionmates of mine. "Sitting in the ER with Meaghan. She cut herself a lot after a hard day of bullying and so called friends making comments about her deceased father. Had to call 911. Breaks my heart to see her hurting. Makes me want to break some people. Please pray for us." A couple of many prayers on FB wall. Ronalee F. Oh, my heart just hurts right now. I am praying ... Lord, please let Meaghan see how precious and beautiful she is. Completely cover her with Your Spirit right now. I cry out to You and ask You to strengthen Laura, as she wrestles with all of the emotions that come from grieving for the loss of Tom, and the pain of seeing her precious daughter struggling. Laura and Meaghan need You RIGHT NOW. Lord, please...with everything in me, I ask You make your perfect and living presence known to them at this very moment. Kathy B.W. So sorry Laura. Can't imagine how hard it is to see your girl hurting so badly. Lord Jesus, please apply your healing ointment to the wounds that don't show on the outside. To the infection festering on the inside that has brought this young one to this point. Give Laura wisdom and strength to know how to love her daughter the way she needs to be loved. Give Laura a moment of peace and rest in this storm. Help her to keep her eyes on you while she walks on this faith journey through the stormy sea. Please speak to this storm and calm it. It can't be easy with Tom gone and I'm sure she longs for him to be there now speaking his wisdom and guidance into this moment. But you are the husband and the father she must lean on now and I know that you will not turn a deaf ear. I know that with each cut and with each tear you feel the deep pain and that you are present. By faith, I speak peace to Meaghan. I speak truth to Meaghan. I speak love in the holy name of Jesus. Bathe her in your presence and annoint her with your oil of healing. You alone are the Rock, The Rescuer, The Savior. By faith, I pray that the spirit of Hope and strength will fall upon Laura and Meaghan and they would know that they are not alone. Your grace is sufficient. You are our refuge a very present help in times of trouble. You are a strong tower, you are a shield about us. You will never leave us nor forsake us. In Jesus name, Amen

THQ Bulletin - Holy Spirit's touch

Description Holy Spirit's touch Submitted by Dorothy Brandt, Eugene Corps Details My daughter needs the Holy Spirit to touch her heart. She was once a committed, dedicated Christian. Now she says that God is "too big to only allow one way to Him." She's getting married in June by a Unitarian minister on the property of someone who has a Buddha statue in her yard. I like the man she is marrying and i know he will never break her heart but I think they both believe the same thing about Jesus. My husband says we can't interfere and she has to make her own choices. I don't argue with her but my mother heart aches to see her being led astray.

Description Update - Mother's stroke & amazing healing Submitted by Sherry Hammers Details Thanks be to God! My family and I sincerely thank everyone...extended family, coworkers, friends, and whomever reached out to include my Mother, Laurie Soltis, in their prayers for healing after she had a stroke on Saturday 4/6. She's been in the hospital improving by leaps and bounds. She suffered no paralysis, only her speech and memory were affected. Now, she is speaking quite well, as forming sentences gets a bit easier each day. She's feisty as ever, but she gets frustrated when she can't remember something, but all in all, the doctors and nurses are amazed by her. So much so that she was released this morning! She is happy to be going home where she will continue speech and physical therapy and then the doctors feel they'll know in about 6 months any permanent damage she will have to live with. She's upbeat, lively during most of the day, but when she tires out that is it for her. My family and I are so grateful for all who uplifted her in prayer! I truly believe in miracles!!

Kelly Pensabene's Husband and Best Friend

Today I lost my best friend, my husband. He went home to our Lord. He suffered greatly for the last nine months without one word of complaint. He offered all his pain to The Lord with a smile. He will be remembered as a true soldier for Christ. Even though my heart is broken I have faith in The Lord and I will be restored. He died peacefully in my arms. He suffers no more. Matthew was loved by many and I know you are all hurting. I pray the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be with you all and bring you the peace that passes all understanding.

THQ Bulletin

Description Prayer for Mom's Healing - Stroke Submitted by Sherry Hammers Details Please uplift my Mother, Laurie Soltis, in prayer. She's had many health problems since her major heart attack quite a few years ago and made it through all the trials and tribulations that can frustrate one when they are ill and yet, so very full of life. Mom's major worry...was always a stroke. Thank goodness she is in excellent hands at Bridgeport (CT) Hospital, where they saved her life when she had the heart attack, so all records are there and she is known, and has a comfort level. I and my boyfriend, Carlo (her "2nd son") briefly spoke with her yesterday, but she still cannot speak beyond long, drawn out "hard to understand" words or sentences she is trying to communicate. It was hard not to let her hear our tears. She is having another MRI this morning to ensure there is no blood on her brain. My mom is a very caring and loving person and I appreciate, as she and my whole family will if you keep her in your prayers for a speedy recovery from this terrible health blow. Thank you so much.
