Prayer Requests

Satan has come to kill, steal and destroy. But Christ came that we might have life abundantly. I choose the life abundantly myself.

Generational destruction has been visited on me and my child. Silas has tested positive for antibodies which may mean he has celiac disease. It means some dietary lifestyle changes for our family, removing wheat, barley, and rye. It means an intestinal biopsy for Silas, blood tests every 6 months, if he has it. And least of all, but still annoying, blood tests for everyone in our family.

Prayer requests:

1. Salvation for my sons. Caleb 8 / Malachi 6 / Silas 3
2. Excellent medical team/care
3. Insurance coverage where I want to go (specialists in Palo Alto, involve herbs as well as medicine)
4. Healing of intestinal lining, Celia, and no more tummy aches or bloating
5. Protection from exposure to wheat barley and rye
6. A faith my sons own themselves, their seeing Gods hand of provision, protection, power, love and His glory in and through this situation
7. Peace of mind and spirit for me and the family


I believe in the power of prayer and I covet your prayers. All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purposes. What Satan means for evil I(God) will use for good.

Thank you for your prayers and care. I do not take it lightly when you pray for us. God has continued to shower us with his grace and blessings. Satan has continued to do what he can to steal kill and destroy, but the joy of the Lord is supreme and transcendent! Thank you Lord for your peace and provision.

Generational destruction, to what am I referring? My dad had many ailments, among them was Lupus, an autoimmune disease. I had Castlemans Disease(CD), in remission, very rare, so not well researched, but also an autoimmune disease. Many of the symptoms of Celiacs are similar to these other 2 diseases. How curious though, that 3 generations would have autoimmune diseases.

We are under a new covenant, yet still the laws and consequences have not been negated. We live in a fallen world, a world that is decaying. A world where Satan is real. In Nehemiah, referring to King Uzziah, and many of the kings following King David, there was reference to the blessings that follow to 1000 generations to King Uzziah, if I remember correctly, because he tore down the idols from the high places, where the kings before him had left them in place. Even Solomon had left them, or built them rather for his foreign wives.

Musings of a mind looking for answers.
