I love that Beth Moore prayer! Will pray that for your family (and mine too!). I think you are so awesome Marla – and such an inspiration. Hugs friend!

I am praying just that for yours family and ours this year. And let me just tell you that it is such a blessing to get to pray for you. Your encouragement here on your blog and elsewhere means so much to me. Have a great New Year’s Eve! I hope it’s a big party over there!

Thankful for your godly perspective. And thankful you shared your request. I will be praying.

Sounds like we were cut from the same cloth. I have very high highs and very low lows. God knew what He was doing when He gave me a very even-tempered husband. Kevin keeps me sane, and I’m thankful I haven’t driven him to insanity! I’m sure God has poured His grace and mercy on Kevin to enable him to deal with me daily!

I have made some huge progress this year. I faced a couple situations that could have sent me into a deep depression, and I fought hard against the Enemy (and the enemy of my sinful self) and reigned victorious because of God’s strength, mercy, and grace. So incredibly grateful to Jesus.

Marla, I’m praying for you…especially concerning finances. This is something that Dave and I continue to struggle with. We’re getting ready to lead our 4th FPU class and I think that it will be so good for us to do it again. We need to get back on track!

You guys could find one near you – just go here:

and put in your zip code to find one near you. Often childcare is offered simultaneously. As you know, this class has been a HUGE blessing in our lives and I know it could be in yours too!!

Sorry for the LONG comment…

Dude, Marla, seriously, you are amazing. Highs or lows or whatever, you never cease to make me stop and think about how I can be a better follower of Christ.

And sorry, I should have said Dudette.

I will pray just as you asked. And Marla…unfortunately depression and I are old adversaries, and I know her well. Email me if you have any specific prayer requests, and I’ll be happy to share my story. Blessings to you and yours in 2010.
