Fw: Prayer Request for Ella Newmiller

 

 

 

 

On Sunday, April 27th, Ella Newmiller and her family attended church at Edenton Street United Methodist, in Raleigh, as they do each week.  Ella is in my son Scott's, 4 year old Sunday School class.  Ella did not feel well that evening.  Her parents, Renae and Mark, took her to an urgent care facility.  On Monday, they found themselves at UNC Hospitals, being faced with the news that their precious daughter has an inoperable brain tumor.  It is located at the base of her brain, inside the brain stem.

 

Friday, May 2nd, was Ella's 5th birthday.  Friends at Edenton Street pulled together an amazing celebration for 'Princess Ella'.  She arrived in a horse drawn carriage and was greeted by over 100 friends dressed in their royal best.  'Mr. and Miss Wolf' from NC State, plus 'Stormy', from the Carolina Hurricanes joined in the celebration.  There was a DJ,  beauty queens, bubbles, balloons and presents.

 

Ella's mother, Renae, commented, 'We don't need meals or errands.  The only thing we really need is PRAYER.'  Renae asked me to tell friends, 'even if they don't know Ella', to please pray.  She asked that those friends ask 10 friends (even if they don't know the Newmillers) to pray.  So, I am asking you to pray daily for Ella Newmiller, for the oncologists and physicians directing her care, for her parents, Renae and Mark, and for her brother Jack (2nd grade).  Pray for God's healing hand.  Pray for both direction and comfort for Ella's family.  Also pray for strength and courage for Ella.  Additionally, if you feel led, please forward this prayer request to friends.

 

I am attaching a photo of Ella from Friday's 5th birthday celebration.  If you would like updates on Ella, please log onto her care page at  www.carepages.com , under Ella Newmiller.  There are simple prompts to help you log on.  Thanks~

with love,

Louise

Subject: Need your prayers

As most of you know my father has been very sick for a couple of months and we had no idea what was wrong with him. UNC labeled him as the mystery man because they couldnt figure out what was going on with him. The doctors at the cancer center at Alamance Regional discovered that he had cancer. He has two types of cancer. The cancer they found in his rectum is the kind that is slow growing and really doesnt spread to other areas of the body. They also found cancer in his liver which is the type that spreads fast, the doctor said that it is very rare that this cancer starts in the liver, it starts somewhere else and then spreads to the liver, and other organs. They suspect he may have cancer in his lungs because there has been some spots that has shown up on xrays, but cant say 100% because they are unable to do a biopsy of his lungs because his lungs are in really bad shape and its too much of a risk. The also suspect that he may have cancer in his bones.
For those of you that has ever met my father you know that he is a very strong man and doesnt let a whole lot keep him down. All of this sickness has really taken a toll on him and his spirit. He is very weak and in alot of pain and has not been able to eat much of anything for the past week.  
They are supposed to start chemo today, and his doctor said that she has seen people older than my father and in worse shape that he is in respond well to the treatment and recover fully.
Please keep my father and my family in your prayers.
 
Annette
 


Well it's official......

We're having a boy!!!!!!!  Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Parental Warning - The Golden Compass Movie

Opening tomorrow in theatres is a movie marketed towards children titled "The Golden Compass" starring Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Kevin Bacon, Eva Green, and John Hurt. 

Below is a review from ChristianAnswers.net:

This film is an adaptation of part of an objectionable trilogy of novels. Titled His Dark Materials, the books were written to be an influential atheistic counterpart to "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Lord of the Rings." They are aimed at children and were written by anti-God activist Phillip Pullman who was featured in the 2005 documentary series "Why Atheism?". He is described as "one of England's most outspoken atheists" by New Yorker journalist Laura Miller.

Pullman said in an interview, "My books are about killing God. If we're talking on the scale of human life and the things we see around us, I'm an atheist. There's no God here. There never was. But if you go out into the vastness of space, well, I'm not so sure. On that level, I'm an agnostic." [Steve Meacham, "The Shed Where God Died," The Syndney Morning Herald (December 12, 2003).]

Please forward this email and help us in alerting parents about this movie. Thank you to the several concerned readers who emailed me and shared this information.

NASB Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?"
Jeremiah 32:27

Commentary  
   The answer God gave is a summary of everything He had proclaimed through Jeremiah to this point-His judgment on the sin of Judah and His promise to restore them in the future. What Jeremiah needed was a reminder. This principle of remembrance and repetition of truth is a biblical one (Deut. 6:4-9, 20-25).

Did you know?
    Jeremiah delivers his prophecies in Jerusalem, capital of Judah. When Babylonian invaders conquer the land, they deport much of the population to Babylon, a city near what is now Baghdad. Jeremiah and a group of survivors who remain in Judah later escape to Egypt.

First Prayer Request

From Catawba Heights Baptist Church, Belmont NC

Prayer request 
 
Prayer request for Gary and Cindy Hogan - don't delete please Gary is serving in Iraq while his young wife is fighting cancer here.  Prayer is a powerful thing.  THIS COUPLE NEEDS OUR PRAYERS. PLEASE read this. IT BE TERRIBLY DIFFICULT TO BE IN IRAQ WITH A SICK WIFE AT HOME.

Tough times don't last... Tough people do !!!
My name is Gary Hogan. Some of you receiving this know me, some  do not.  My wife, Cindy, is 32 years old and has just been diagnosed 3 days ago with stage 4 cervical cancer and her chances for survival are very slim.   She was pregnant with our second child and had miscarried recently at 3 months, and now we know why. This is a request for you to for ward this e-mail to every one you know asking for prayer. The more people that pray for her to be healed, the better.

Pray and forward. It only takes a second to hit 'forward'.

Please do it and don't delete this. Your prayer can, and perhaps  will, save her life. Please pray and ask everyone you know to pray for the HEALING of Cindy and the removal of all cancer in her body, so  she may enjoy all that life has to offer, and to continue to be the wonderful mother to our 5 year old son, Michael. The power of Prayer is unsurpassed. I want the whole world to have her in their prayers  the next few weeks. God will hear our cry. Please do not be offended by my plea.. This is only a request for your help.


Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and helping with our request for healing! No words can express the power we have  when we each do a little to come together.

Regards, Cindy's in-love husband - Gary

Thank you, and please send it to the far reaches of our world.

 

Second Prayer Request

 

This is a prayer request for Shannon Wigginton who is Vickie Bell's daughter.  Vickie is secretary at Salvation Army.  About 3 days ago, it was discovered that Shannon had a severe infection in her heart.  She is intensive care at University of Kentucky Hospital.  Vickie and all her family are there with her.  It was a very rare thing to happen The only hope seemed to be a heart transplant but they were told last night that her heart was completely damaged but that she was too sick and unstable to even be put on the heart transplant list.

 

Many people have been praying for Shannon.

 

God who made Shannon's heart has done a miracle.

We just got word that Shannon has done a complete turn around!  The Doctors are taking the balloon out of the heart today and decreasing medications.  The draining tube from around her heart should be removed this afternoon.  She will be taken off the ventilator tomorrow.  Shannon will be in the hospital at least another week.  The virus has run it's course, and they will start her on medication to heal her heart.  No Heart transplant!

 

Shannon still needs our prayers.  She still has a long way to heal but the healing has started.  PRAISE THE LORD! 

 

Please continue to pray for Shannon, her husband Lee and their 2 year old little boy.  Pray for Vickie and her family as they are in  Kentucky with Shannon at the hospital.

 

In Christ,

Fw: Gasoline Purchase

 

I'm forwarding this as is…………..

 

I personally do not buy CITGO gas or trade at any of their locations for this reason.  You make up your own mind!!!!!!!!!

 

Verified by Snopes


 IN ORLANDO LAST WEEK, AT A CITGO STATION REGULAR GAS WAS PRICED AT $2.82 PER GALLON, NO CUSTOMERS, HOWEVER ACROSS THE STREET WHERE FUEL WAS SELLING FOR $2.85 PER GALLON AND ALL PUMPS THERE HAD CARS WAITING TO FUEL.


Have you noticed how the Citgo signs have disappeared in the past 7-8 months? Very clever move by Chavez.But guess what? CITGO IS CHANGING ITS NAME...this is serious Americans...make sure you read.

             
Chavez is NOW getting a Russian Weapons Factory built by Putin. The RUSSIANS are building an AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle factory in
Venezuela, to give armament support to Communist Rebel groups throughout the Americas

C havez NOW has IRANIANS operating his oil refineries in Venezuela
for him.  It is likely only a matter of time, if not already, before Chavez has Iranian built LONG RANGE missiles, with a variety of warhead types aimed  at: Guess Who?

CITGO is NOW in the process of changing Its name to PETRO EXPRESS
due to the loss of gasoline sales in the USA due to the recent publicity of  ownership by Chavez of  Venezuela.  Every dollar you spend with CITGO or PETRO EXPRESS gasoline will be used against you, your basic human rights, and your freedoms.He  will start wars here in the Americas that will probably be the death of millions.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT because Chavez is starting to feel the loss of
revenue from his holdings. HE OWNS CITGO. This is a very important move
that everyone should be aware of.

ANNOUNCED JUST RECENTLY, CITGO, BEING AWARE TH AT SALES ARE DOWN DUE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS NOT WANTING TO BUY FROM "CITGO-CHAVEZ", HAVE STARTED TO  CHANGE THE NAME OF SOME OF THEIR STORES TO: "PETRO EXPRESS"  ... DO NOT BUY FROM "PETRO EXPRESS" EITHER!!! "PETRO EXPRESS" IS ALSO 100% OWNED BY "CHAVEZ."

KEEP THIS MEMO GOING SO TH AT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING.

MAKE SURE THIS IS PASSED ON TO EVERYONE IN YOUR E-MAIL LIST IN

Change in arrangements for Chris Collins

Due to Chris's mother and stepdad and against the wishes of Chris's children and siblings, the funeral arrangements were changed at the last minute last night.  The funeral will now take place at Christ Memorial Christian Church on S. 87 in Graham at 2:00 Saturday.  Everything else will be the same. 
 
Also, just FYI.....I believe the newspaper had Chris listed as a member of Christ Memorial, when in fact Chris was a member of Lighthouse Chapel.
 
If I sound mean, I apologize, but I am very frustrated at the lengths some people will go to in order to hurt and undercut someone else.  And I felt if I was going to let everyone know that the funeral had been changed, then you all had a right to know WHY the funeral had been changed. 
 
Please remember my First Lady, her brothers, and Chris's children in your prayers because this is already a hard situation for them and the actions of a few are making it even harder.  Thanks and God bless.

Stephanie

Prayer for Tricia (healing)
 
Please pray for my friend (and new sister-in-Christ) Tricia. She has to go to the doctor today because they have told her that she may have cancer. I ask that all of you join me, agreeing with me in prayer, that they would find no signs of cancer in her body. I pray that God would heal her from the top of her head to the soles of her feet and that He would put a shield of protection over her so that the demon of cancer cannot pervade her body. Saints of God, please pray with me over this young girl and through faith we can move this mountain!! Thank you all.
 
God bless.

Also pray for my family because this causes a bigger responsibility to be brought on them as well. I want to be all that God wants me to be and I need your prayers to fulfill my role to the fullest.

The Old Paths.

 THE OLD PATHS
 
I liked the old paths, when 
  Moms were at home.
  Dads were at work. 
  Brothers went into the army.
  And sisters got married BEFORE having children!
 
Crime did not  pay;
  Hard work did;
  And people knew the difference.

Moms could cook;
  Dads would  work;
  Children would behave.

 
 Husbands were  loving;
  Wives were supportive;
  And children were polite.
 
  Women wore the jewelry; 
  And Men wore the pants.
  Women looked like ladies;
  Men looked like gentlemen;
  And children looked decent.
 
 People loved the truth,
  And hated a lie;
  They came to church to get IN,
  Not to get OUT!
 
  Hymns sounded Godly; 
  Sermons sounded helpful;
  Rejoicing sounded normal;
  And crying sounded sincere.
 
  Cursing was wicked; 
  Drugs were for illness;
  And divorce was unthinkable.
 
  The flag was honored; 
  America was beautiful;
  And God was welcome!
 
  We read the Bible in public; 
  Prayed in school;
  And preached from house to house
  To be called an American was worth dying for; 
  To be called a Christian was worth living for; 
  To be called a traitor was a shame!
 
 
 Preachers preached because they had a message;
  And Christians rejoiced because they had the VICTORY!
  Preachers preached from the Bible;
  Singers sang from the heart;
  And sinners turned to the Lord to be SAVED!
 
  A new birth meant a new life;
  Salvation meant a changed life;
  Following Christ led to eternal life.
 
 Being a preacher meant you proclaimed the word of God;
  Being a deacon meant you would serve the Lord;
  Being a Christian meant you would live for Jesus; 
   And being a sinner meant someone was praying for you!
 
  Laws were based on the Bible; 
  Homes read the Bible;
  And churches taught the Bible.


God was worshiped;
  Christ was exalted; 
  And the Holy Spirit was respected.
 
Church was where you found Christians 
  on the Lord's day, rather than in the garden, 
  on the creek bank, on the golf course,
  or being entertained somewhere else.
 
  I still like the old paths the best!
 
   "The Old Paths" was written by a retired minister who lives In Tennessee.
