Prayer

I have two prayer requests. I'm posting this because I know the friends and family members who read this are pretty good at praying for other people.

1) Please keep me in your prayers regarding our living situation. We are still living in a one bedroom and desperately need a room for the kids. Heidi needs her own bed and there isn't any room for one so she shares our bed. This situation has been so trying for me that it's brought me to tears many times. We can only afford a certain amount but we're not about to bring our kids into a gang neighborhood. I don't think it's wise to do that. To understand more, one of our neighbors is very very loud and therefore my husband doesn't get much sleep at times. God does call us to be content in every situation and that's what I've honestly been trying to do. I know that God's plan is perfect even when we don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Please bare this burden with me and pray for our situation.

2) Please pray that my husband will be humbled to seek the Lord through the friends that God has brought into his life. In the difficulty of my living situation I definitely find joy in the Christian neighbors I have. My neighbors who live on one side of me have really been trying to reach out to Gus. The man of the house, Joshua, use to be a horrible man. Now he's a living testimony to Gus on how God can change a person. He and his family have recently been going to my church every Sunday and they hope to encourage Gus to join them. Also, my neighbor who lives across the boulevard is the co-pastor of the college department at church. He really wants us to come join his family for dinner, which would be another opportunity for Gus to be around a Christian man.

These prayer request are important to me and I really hope that you will remember me in your quite time.
