1) 3 Usooken PRAYER Requests 2) Update on Mom: She is still recovering from the stroke she had a while back. She has improved a little bit, but she still has long ways to go. She's still paralyzed on her left side, and is not able to walk. She has started outpatient rehab this week. It was kind of a rough start, but it has gotten a little better. Hopefully, this will help out some until she can get back into inpatient rehab. Lord knows she is going to need it. Medicaid/SSI is our only hope for getting her back into inpatient, because her insurance only covered a month for her to be in inpatient rehab. To make matters worse, they even limited her home health visits. She has an appointment to meet with the neurologist this coming up Thursday, June 14. Hopefully, this appointment will help her to get on disability soon, so she can get the professional help she needs. She has got in touch with a Lawyer not too long ago to go, so she can sue the hospital for not caring for her the way they should of. We finally were able to find someone else to sit with my Mom, since the last one quit, while my brother & I are out of town for my outpatient rehab. PRAISE GOD! I hope & pray that this sitter will work out, which I'm sure she will. She seems like a real keeper. PLEASE BE IN PRAYER! 3) I was in a horrible car accident back in September. I have come a very long way from the accident, but I still have a 5% recovery left to go. I'm still attending outpatient rehab, plus I have to have surgery on my left eye, due to double vision. They have taken me off of medicaid, and I won't be able to have surgery without insurance. It is a blessing knowing that I am still able to attend rehab. I am doing whatever I can to appeal my medicaid, so that I could have the eye surgery done. I have an appointment for vocational rehabilitation tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully, this will help. PLEASE BE IN PRAYER! 4) One of my good friends has a daughter whom is unsaved and is getting herself into all kinds of trouble. PLEASE BE IN PRAYER! 5) Please say a prayer for my Grandmother. My Grandmother is very selfish and narcissistic. As much as I hate mentioning it, it's true. She has caused a lot of problems in the family in order to be in control of things. She said some pretty nasty things about my Grandfather, who passed away in August 2017. She has tried to poison me & my brothers against my Mom by feeding us lies about her, and it worked with one of my brothers for a short time. She's also spread rumors about some of our really good friends who goes to our church. We had to cut her out of our lives a couple months ago, because of all the strife she has put us through. I have forgiven her, but I don't want to be around hers and dealing with manipulative tactics getting the best of me and my family. I want to walk in grace and forgiveness, & found I couldn't do so while being confronted by such toxicity. My Grandmother is also not a Christian. She enjoys living in sin, and does not want to change her ways. She knows we are a good Christian family, and she does not like it. That is probably the reason she tried to divide us in the first place. Please pray that God will send the right people in her life to share the gospel with her, and encourage her to turn from her own ways and to follow Jesus. 6) Future Husband- I hope and pray that God will send the right person in my life soon. 7) One of my good friends have cancer. We met around Christmas time in 2017. He is a wonderful piano player/musician. He was also my accompaniment when I performed "Mary, Did You Know?" in December. He has been through chemo therapy so many times. He posted on Facebook last month saying his condition is 98% stable. This is great news; however, there are a couple of spots in the lung lining that are greatly noticeable. Please continue to pray for him as he continues his recovery. 8) I have a part time job cleaning someone's house. The woman who hired me is really sweet and godly. She also has some personal issues in her family. Please be in prayer for them. 9) My Aunt has gotten a job at Dollar General a few months ago. She is doing whatever it takes for my brother to get a job there as well. He recently put in an application. We are hoping and praying that he will be called in for an interview soon. PLEASE BE IN PRAYER! 10) My older brother is still in prison, and has been for a few years now. He was sentenced to 7 years for something minor, yet the DA wanted to crucify and make an example of him as if he comitted the most horrendous crime on earth. This is completely uncalled for. Thankfully, the prison he is staying at is quite peaceful. God is definitely with my brother during this time. We visit him every other Saturday. We are currently doing whatever we can to make sure he doesn't get made an example of by the time he is released from prison. Please be in prayer. 11) My Grandfather passed away last summer. He was a great man, and we miss him so. He also had a quanset hut he was not able to finish. Therefore, me, my Mom, and the rest of the family agreed to finish the quanset hut for him. One of our cousins is a Carpenter. Him & his crew of workers are currently working on building the house for us. People from our church (including my Sunday School teacher) also pitched and made donations to go towards the house. We are so thankful for these people, and they have done a great job so far. It will possibly be a month or so before the first floor of the hut is finished. We are currently living in Grandfather's old trailer until we can move into the quanset hut. PLEASE BE IN PRAYER! 12) I am returning to college in fall, and am searching for a place to live while I am at school. There is an apartment complex I am really interested in, reasonable prices as well. I have recently turned in the application & payed the deposit or this apartment, and should hear back from them soon. Good news, hopefully. PLEASE BE IN PRAYER!
