Dear Friends: So much has happened within the last year...my family and I need much prayer. Sometimes the things we go through need additional prayer from believers to bind the enemy and his cohort's... Anyway, this past year, my son came back from Iraq and is divorcing his wife of 16 years (with two beautiful girls) and has started clubbing and seeing other women. He was a devout Christian since he was little. My other son decided to leave his wife and child and marry a woman with two children. They go to clubs, drink, etc. Yes, he also was a devout Christian. Both have slipped away from the Lord. We were hit with a financial blow and had to file Chapter 13...what a horrible, demeaning thing to go through. We tried all other avenues, but to no avail. We just gave a lady in church our old car we were not using for her cancer treatments, and to get to church and FOUR days later, our younger son was on his way to help a church in a music ministry a few hours away, and his car broke down (timing belt destroyed engine). So he is without a car and just found a job after six months of looking. We have NO money for a car, and don't know of anyone that has one he can borrow. NOW, my car is making a noise under the front left...a thumping sound. That weekend, the water heater gave us a hard time and the chimney on the house is falling apar. I was told I had poor circulation in my legs and they ache all the time, and I have dizzy spells. They cut out overtime at my job (Praise God I have one), and my husband had to take a major cut in his salary (which is what forced us into bankruptcy). Anyway, that's only a BIT of what we've gone through in 2011. We continue to give of our money (as much as possible that is allowed from the bankruptcy court), time, donate, etc for God's glory. We fast and pray and have been claiming all the encouraging scripture verses, and binding the enemy...but we need YOUR prayers also. The past few years have been rough on us... When everything around us falters...rusts.....decays, etc...our ONLY hope is in the stability (solid rock) of Jesus... Thanks for your prayers...Blessings to all of you! Mariam
